Hello Everyone,
I have been finding it difficult making payments on some sites like fiverr since GTBank disabled PayPal payments on its Naira MasterCard. I tried using Payoneer but they keep telling me to activate a card they haven't delivered to me even after making requests several times.
Please Guys, I need options to make international transactions online.
Thanks.

If you are paying less than $100 with your Naira Mastercard, I reckon it should go through.
If you make a lot of payments monthly, then I'd suggest you get a USD Card from GTB or any of the other banks. 
There isn't that much disparity with the exchange rates these days.

Hope this helps.

Let me share my experience with you guys.

I opened an account, funded it from my fidelity bank, my account was not credited for 3 weeks. No support, no contact information on their website.

After the 3rd week my account got the credit and I was able to create a dollar master card with a very high exchange rate. 

I have tried to use the card on amazon, udemy, PayPal, Apple, Digitalocean all declined the card. My money is still hang and can not be refunded to my bank account .

That was my experience so be the judge.

Get a BTC card(Virtual or Physical) from Wirex, and fund it via BTC exchangers. That's all I did. You can follow my affiliate link here https://app.wirexapp.com/join/SytPIRj0LkG44rZUwP18xA

Hey Guys,

The GTB Naira options no longer make sense as it limits you to $100 transaction per month at an exchange rate of N375 per USD 

Go get a USD card from any Bank. Then find any reliable​ BDC like Sulah and buy USD at N368 today's rate or check abokifx.com
The as much as you can and do your transaction, USD cards works without issues.
 But if the merchant has blacklisted Nigerian cards, then go and get barter.


Cheers,

Kaosiso

The best thing about Payeer is, the exchange can be done right in your Payeer account.

It is bro.
I have been using it for almost a year now. You don't need the physical card but u can get it if you want.
I think the virtual card is better.

We need to have a meetup on payments.

Was just looking at Ethereum today and its pretty excited. Was created by a 20 year old.

Interesting times.

I second that Prince Segebee.

Also virtual card works well even from here. I have received payment for some transactions in preloaded virtual cards ( VISA) which have come in useful for making FX payments.

I am sure the meetup would help a lot of people know more about important options and might even encourage some people to kickstart their own payment ideas which can help us overcome local challenges.

In this day, and at our present time, anything is possible - anything.

Good question.

(I think) there are merchants you need to get in touch with that can do this for you or secondly you can make standard orders for certain amounts from vendors.

As I said, it will be nice to have local payment solutions,virtual card solutions etc that can resolve the issues raised in this thread  from this end the need for this is becoming more obvious.

I am bookmarking this for future reference.

EnprohSoft Tech , I sent you a PM with some links. I have not explored or thoroughly  researched these solutions/vendors that is why I cant share them publicly with the community for now.

Best.

I also think we should have a meetup.

I am a Blockchain enthusiast and I trade in the space for a while now, would be interesting to meet people who are passionate about the space too!
