payment methods in Nigeria

Unlike other African countries, cards are widely used for online purchases in Nigeria. Attention, though, to a telecommunication system called USSD: Unstructured Supplementary Service Data. The technology works through cell phones and does not require an internet connection.

A pre-determined code allows locals to perform financial transactions, like checking their account balance, sending money, accessing value-added services, and recharging airtime.
