Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has announced a new transaction limit on its naira cards.

In an email to customers, the bank stated that holders of GTBank naira cards now have a quarterly limit of $1,000 for international transactions. Providing further details, the bank explained that ATM withdrawals abroad are capped at $500 per quarter.

Additionally, online and POS transactions are limited to $1,000 quarterly.

The bank noted: “Kindly note that the quarterly limit of $1,000 covers all transactions including ATM cash withdrawals abroad, purchases on international websites, POS payments outside Nigeria and more.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Wema Bank and United Bank for Africa (UBA) had separately announced the resumption of foreign transactions on their naira cards.

This development comes after nearly three years during which several banks had suspended foreign transactions using naira debit cards.

In a recent notification to customers, UBA stated that the resumption aligns with its ongoing commitment to offering smooth and enhanced banking services.

“In line with our continued commitment to providing you with seamless and enhanced banking experiences, we are pleased to inform you that all UBA premium naira cards, including Gold, Platinum, and World variants, are now enabled for international transactions,” the statement reads.

“This means you can now use your premium naira card for everyday payments, online shopping, POS, and ATM transactions across the world, with more ease and flexibility. If you haven’t used your card recently, now’s a great time to rediscover the convenience and prestige that comes with being a UBA Premium cardholder.”

Bala Abosede said, "I am happy that this option is now restored back. This will help to Nigerians access more options to make foreign transactions."
