Asking how to fund or load your UBA Prepaid Cards?

If yes, ask no more because this guide will show you how to fund both your UBA Naira variant and Dollar Prepaid Cards without going to the bank, all done online. Amazing, right? Yeah.

Apart from that, I will also share alternative ways to load your UBA Prepaid Card from Nigeria and other African countries making use of the UBA USD Africard.

 

But What is and How Does the UBA Prepaid Card Work?

First off, I recommend you check out everything you need to know about the UBA Prepaid Cards here. 

Now, the UBA Prepaid Card is a standalone or independent debit card that is not connected to any bank account and is free to get for international transactions such as funding digital platforms, shopping online, paying for subscriptions, and transacting with PayPal. 

The UBA Prepaid Card works in such a way that you can load funds and use, reload and use as many times as you want. 

And while there are some limitations to the Naira-denominated card, the Dollar Card can do up to $10,000 a quarter (3 months) and $1,500 per day. See the full card limitation structure here.

 

What then is the UBA Dollar Prepaid Card?

Now there are 2 types of UBA Prepaid Cards, we have Naira denominated and Dollar denominated. The UBA Dollar denominated Card is a card that all transactions such as funding, transfer, and withdrawal are in USD currency denominations. 

Without further ado, let me show you how to easily fund your UBA Prepaid Cards without going to the bank or online + alternative routes to do it.

• Contact fnfSwap and request the amount you want funded.
• Pay the Dollar cash equivalent in Naira or any digital currency.

Ways to Load your UBA USD Prepaid Card [Africard]

There are 5 ways you can fund your UBA Dollar Africard. 

 

1. Fund it Cheaper with a merchant – fnfSwap

The best way to fund your Dollar denominated Card is to use the fnfSwap platform which helps you fund your card cheaper than any rate in Nigeria, better than the black-market rate. 

For instance, (as of the time of writing), while funding from the Black Market or USD Virtual cards platforms like ChipperCash and the likes are way higher, with fnfSwap, you can fund your card at a lesser/$ – (saving you a lot of money). 

• The advantages of fnfSwap are that:
• You get legit funding
• You get the cheapest exchange rate
• You can fund anytime – 6:am, 6:pm, or even 9:pm.
• You can fund on weekends.

With fnfSwap, you get funded in a few minutes. Read down to see how to get your card funded by fnfSwap.

Below are a few Funding transaction proofs for fnfSwap clients.

Note: fnfSwap DOES NOT FUND Africards for Arbitrage Trading purposes. The funding is targeted at Freelancers, Online Shoppers, Digital Platforms Funding, and Online Subscription Payments + other purposes outside of arbitrage.

Let’s continue to see other methods to fund your USD Afri Prepaid Card.

 

2. Load Africard with Digital Currencies

Another best funding method is to give fnfSwap digital currencies like USDT, BTC & ETH in exchange for the UBA Dollar Prepaid Funds.

Now, this is the best method for our African Brothers using the UBA Dollar Prepaid Card. Just yesterday, I had a brother from Cotonou contact me with the funding process.

Here is how to go about it using digital currencies like BTC, USDT, BNB, or ETH.

I mostly recommend we work with USDT.

Step 1. Now, create an account on Binance or sign in to your Binance crypto wallet account.

Step 2. Deposit local currency into your Binance Account.

Step 3. Swap the local currency and get USDT – use Binance P2P for this swap.

Step 4. Contact fnfSwap and move the USDT to our wallet.

Step 5. Drop your Africard details and get funded.  

Get started – Open a Binance account | Contact fnfSwap.

Also – Watch a video here on how to buy USDT on Binance

 

3. Fund by buying USD from the Black Market

Another way to top up your UBA Prepaid Dollar Card is to buy Dollars – hard currency at the black-market rate, take it to the banking hall, fill out a deposit slip, enter your Customer ID number/details, and submit it to be funded. 

The cons here are:

• This method is stressful.
• It wastes time.
• You can be scammed by a fake BDC guy.
• You can buy fake Dollar notes. 

Before you go for this option, first check if fnfSwap has funding available – to save cost.

 

4. Fund by Client-to-Client Transfers

If you have a friend or colleague that has Dollar funds in his or her Gtpsecurecard account, he/she can fund your card by transferring to it. 

 

5. Fund from Domiciliary Account

Now, if you have a Domiciliary account with UBA, you can apply at the bank to move your funds from Dom to Africard. You can also do this with the UBA Dollar Card.  

 

Below is the Africard 5 funding summary – you can watch it on this page.
