UBA cards now accepted on PayPal

By on June 25, 2014

The United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has announced that its debit and prepaid cards are now accepted on the PayPal platform.

PayPal is one of the world’s largest online payment platforms which allow individuals and businesses to make easy international payments.

PayPal recently announced its entrance into Nigeria and nine new countries. A total of 80 million internet users stand to gain access to PayPal global services.

The firm provides online payment alternatives for consumers via mobile phones or personal computers. It has been used over the years to pay for transactions on online platforms like Amazon, eBay, and other top e-Commerce websites.

Paypal boasts of more than100 million users worldwide. But UBA explained that with its cardholders now joining the already huge network of PayPal users, shopping online from popular international retailers would become more flexible for them.

Describing how UBA Cardholders can use their cards to make payments through Paypal, the bank’s Head of e-banking Division, Dr. Yinka Adedeji explained that all the customer has to do is to visit the PayPal website, select country of location, fill the application form that will be displayed and submit the form online.

Once this is done, the registered card can be used to make payments on all websites with the PayPal logo.
“UBA Cards on Paypal offer unrivalled convenience for our Cardholders to shop online” Adedeji added.
Assuring cardholders of their transaction security, he further said UBA cards are trusted, reliable and protected with advanced technology for online payments.

In addition, he said UBA MasterCard and VISA cards are fortified with MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by VISA features respectively for secure online transactions.

“The acceptance of UBA Cards on PayPal will provide more convenience for those planning their summer shopping. This development is coming on the heels of the launch of the bank’s summer campaign which encourages cardholders to travel with their UBA Cards wherever they go in the world.

“UBA cards are accepted in over 200 countries and on millions of POS terminals and ATMs around the world. This implies that UBA Cardholders are never stranded in any part of the world where they decide to shop or do business,” it added.
