Verve, Africa’s biggest local payments brand, is making a big switch, all Verve cards issued from now on will be contactless, to make payments faster, safer, and smoother for everyone.
With over 85 million Verve cards already in circulation and at least 35 million of them contactless, more Nigerians are experiencing easy, tap-to-pay transactions every day. You can now pay quicker in busy markets, at restaurants, fuel stations, and airports, simply by tapping your Verve card on a terminal.
The company has been working with banks, fintechs, and thousands of merchants to support this technology. Many more payment points across Nigeria now accept the tap-and-go cards, leading to shorter queues and quicker service for shoppers and better business for merchants.
Verve’s Always-On campaign positions the card as a daily, dependable choice, whether you’re grabbing a meal, shopping, or filling your tank. “We want to make every part of daily life easier, and that starts with how people pay,” a Verve spokesperson said.
This upgrade goes beyond just speed. Verve’s new contactless cards come with extra security: PIN authentication. That means even though you’re tapping instead of inserting your card or swiping, your money stays safe.
