Hi, i've been using the internet for some time now and it's like most of the good stuff are only available for those with credit card like mastercard, visa e.t.c. I've been wondering, how does one get a credit card in Nigeria, and the one that works too?
Do credit cards actually work for those living in Nigeria?

Many Nigerian merchants now offer credit cards for their clients. You could check with GTN resources at Opebi,
website: http://www.gtn-ng.com
Or you could also check with Standard trust bank now UBA plc ; http://www.ubaplc.com

@felucci, does the credit card offered by GTN carry a US address? And are there any hidden charges?

It does carry a us address and the charges you have to pay is a $20 set up fee plus, i guess a monthly $1 service fee. You could equally get a credit card from www.graphcard.com

But you can get prepaid cards with a U.S.A billing address and with your own name. You may visit their website @ www.gtn-ng.com.
Gtn resources is not that slow, at least 3 days and your card is ready

The requirements for getting a credit card is simple. For instance to get it at GTN Resources, all you need is:
- Your cash or dollar equivalent
- Your name

* Remember that you will be charged at a price higher than the actual amount on the card for you to get the virtual card. I guess it's their fee.

Credit cards are readily available nowadays through banks in Nigeria and for Nigerians. Only i don't know if these cards are accepted worldwide like paying for goods on Uk merchant websites. Try going to Ecobank
