Of late most banks have started issuing chip and PIN enabled ATM cards in a bid to reduce the amount of ATM fraud which is scourging the nation @ the moment.
If I’m not wrong, EcoBank launched the first ever Naira Credit Card and now GTB has followed suit launching their Naira MasterCard.
GTB’s Naira MasterCard is now issued to every GTB customer both old and new, whether you want it or not. Supposedly the card can function worldwide and online wherever you see the MasterCard logo but before you rush to open an account with GTB because of this card, there are a few things you ought to know.
All local ATM transactions are free ONLY on GTB ATM machines. Other than that, you get to pay the regular 100 naira per transaction.
All international transaction incur a charge of 1,000 naira per transaction.
Despite their claims that it works online, it ONLY works on local internet sites such as Dana Air, British Airways, Fly Aero and a few others.
What irks me the most is that the Customer service reps weren’t aware of the fact that the card didn’t work everywhere online. I spent 2 days battling to renew my domain name with Netfirmswhile the card kept getting declined.
I finally had to call their card services department before I was told that the card wasn’t fully functional on all websites as I’ve already stated above.
Anyway I guess I’m back to using my Zenith Bank MasterCard Websurfer which fortunately has never failed me .
