Industry information and recent consumer activities confirmed that Verve, Africa’s largest domestic
payments card and token brand, has expanded its global footprint by securing partnerships with leading
e-commerce platforms, Temu and AliExpress. These partnerships allow Nigerian shoppers to enjoy
seamless, secure, and direct Naira payments on both platforms, eliminating foreign exchange hurdles
and enhancing the cross-border shopping experience.
Previously, Temu, a rising global e-commerce platform, did not accept Verve cards, requiring Nigerian
shoppers to rely on Visa, Mastercard, or virtual dollar cards for transactions. With this new partnership,
Verve cardholders can now make direct purchases in Naira, accessing Temu’s vast selection of
affordable products without the complexity of currency conversions.
Similarly, AliExpress, a subsidiary of Alibaba, now fully accepts Verve cards for payments, addressing
previous payment challenges faced by Nigerian users. Through this collaboration, Verve is simplifying
digital commerce, enabling Nigerians to shop on global platforms with ease and security, thereby staying
true to its brand promise of making transactions and payments seamless and enriching.
Beyond growing its reach, Verve, with over 15 years of consistent quality delivery, is also shaping the
future of payments with its transition to contactless technology, enabling faster, more secure, and
convenient transactions across digital and physical payment channels. Verve’s over 70 million
cardholders can now enjoy the ease of tap-and-go payments, further enhancing their transaction
experience.
Verve cards are widely accepted across Nigeria and select African countries, providing seamless
transactions across ATMs, PoS terminals, and online platforms. Cardholders can also use their Verve
cards for subscriptions on Google Play, YouTube Premium, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Uber, Spotify, among
others, ensuring a broader, more integrated payment experience.
Through these strategic advancements, Verve, Nigeria’s foremost domestic card, is redefining global
commerce, empowering African consumers with seamless, secure, and borderless payment solutions.
With such commitment to continue to expand its reach and innovate, it is not a surprise there are over
70 million Verve cards and token in circulation.
