It depends on you.

MasterCard is the popular one.

Can be used internationally. (Except for some European Websites. Especially if you plan on using Skrill or Neteller, MasterCard won't work).

So far I have not had issues with Visa. It can be truly used anywhere and everywhere.

Verve is a shitty piece of crap that deserves no mention.

Mastercard: has no limitations it can explore all kinds of smart card transaction (int transaction, hotel reservations abroad, cash drawings abroad, machine transfer to other bank s in fact foreign s, provided the currency ed on the is same as that of the currency used in the destination bank)

Visa card: do any other thing mastercard does, but may not transfer funds on machine to other banks (it is an on the spot card too)

Verve card: so useless, and usually issued on the spot. They are used for local transactions, where the issuing bank is domicile
gtb gives MasterCard on spot.men I love that bank

Master Card or Visa cards allow you to shop on any website in the world whereas Verve cards do not. They are only recognized locally within Nigeria and some parts of Africa... Dasssss all

Wrong! You are only allowed to use them shop abroad or on international websites if your bank allows/enables e-Forex transactions. Not all banks allow it. Only a few banks do

Mastercard is good...

But if you have plans to travel out of the country soon, go for visa card... You can use your naija bank visa card anywhere, Pos, atms..

Naija mastercard can leave you stranded abroad...

Verve is very secure, but only useful in Nigeria... Pos, atm, naija online stores...

Go for Visa card.

Skrill no longer accepts MasterCard so that is a kind of limitation on the MasterCard.

of security I will advise u go for verve but having a visa or MasterCard is necessary for international transactions. So keep ur money safe in a verve card and transfer to visa or master when u want to make an International transaction.

Mastercard - Allows all ATM transactions, higher charges on international transactions if enabled by Bank, allows convenient chargebacks and charge ins (Paystack, Quickteller, flutterwave) downsides of Mastercard are, it does NOT allow payments being made directly to your card and does not work on all international websites even when enabled by bank. Which is where VISA card outshines the MasterCard

VisaCard: Allows all ATM transactions inclusive of transfers (Few banks in nigeria do not allow transfer on visa), Allows all international transactions when enabled by bank, Allows convenient chargebacks and charge ins (Paystack, Quickteller, Flutterwave, etc), Allows payment being made from anywhere in the world directly to your card using your card number, Works on all international websites and merchants. ONLY downside is: some nigerian banks like Diamond do not allow transfers with visa card.

Visa card is truely the master technically.



Verve: is just a piece of scrap plastic made by nigeria/ interswitch



The best generally is the VISA CARD

You called verve card useless but we firstmonie agents see the visa as the useless one except only Zenith verve card. My conclusion is master card or no card at all.

MasterCard has the features of both verve and visa. Verve can only be used for transactions within the country, can be used to withdraw transfer and even recharge while Visa can be used within and outside the country but sometimes have transfer and recharge issues.

VERVE is the best taking security of your money into consideration.

How is verve more secured bra?

Verve limitation is local...last time I used one was 2008.
Naira mastercard can't receive funds(e.g withdraw $$ to you naira ) from web platforms.... Except refunds. (not sure if things had changed though.....being using visa card for all transactions. )

MasterCard = Verve + Visa

Visa = Mainly for Online purposes anywhere in the world. Cannot transfer money to others banks

Verve = Mainly for ATM transactions and not accepted worldwide
What are you saying? Visa cannot transfer money to other banks? Really?
Please, I urge you to make a research about an issue before you make a conclusion because I use Visa card and I use it for transfer almost all the time.
Besides, Visa and Master are the same because both serves the same purpose.

similar issue happen to me with that shiity banks.
I fill a report and request for there stvpid Manager with my voice rising all over the place! angry Before the bank change it for me.

Because verve are much in there hand so them want to give it out hence the decieving of customer.

If you haven't activate it I advise you do what I did.
