MasterCard collaborates with local Merchants to support Cashless Nigeria

By on October 6, 2012

MasterCard has made new moves to support the Central Bank of Nigeria’s cashless economy strategy, as well as local merchants.

According to Omokehinde Ojomuyide, country manager, West Africa, MasterCard Worldwide, “MasterCard cardholders will quality for a five per cent discount on the purchase of any item at Sony Centres across Nigeria. In addition, and as part of the alliance with MasterCard, Sony Centre staff will undergo card acceptance and fraud prevention training. We will also be supporting Flying Dove by marketing the discount offer, further showcasing the benefits of moving towards electronic payments to our cardholders.”

 MasterCard is expected to incentivize its cardholders for electronic payment solutions with Flying Dove’s support as authorized distributors for Sony Corporation and owners of Sony Centres in Nigeria.

The collaboration indicates the first cashless plan of its nature in Nigeria for MasterCard as it supports MasterCard’s vision to speed up the move towards more fitting and safer payment techniques for clients, and to exhibit the achievements of the teamwork to the Nigerian business segment.

In addition, Ashok Jain, Managing Director for Flying Dove Limited stated, “Working alongside MasterCard has allowed us, as a retail leader in Nigeria, to further solidify our position in the local market. Our vision is to help make payments in all of the Sony Centres more convenient, easier, and safer for customers and the Sony Centre staff.”
