The report brings together GlobalData's research, modeling, and analysis expertise to allow banks and card issuers to identify segment dynamics and competitive advantages. The report also covers details of regulatory policy and recent changes in the regulatory structure.
The Nigerian payment cards market is anticipated to slow down, as a result of a ban imposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in December 2015 on the use of debit and credit cards abroad, and on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. This prevented Nigerian consumers from using cards to make purchases during overseas travel, or from foreign e-commerce sites. However, following a severe consumer backlash, the ban was partially revoked in January 2016, with banks enabling consumers to use foreign exchange services, but with limits on transaction values. In January 2016, for instance, GTBank permitted customers to transfer foreign currency via online banking, its mobile app, or at any branch nationwide, subject to a daily limit. Similar restrictions were imposed by other banks, such as First Bank of Nigeria and Sterling Bank. Yet again, with the escalating foreign exchange crisis, in October 2016 GTBank, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria and Stanbic IBTC Bank suspended use of payment cards abroad and for online transactions.
While banks in Nigeria still focus on traditional bricks-and-mortar branches to deliver services, SunTrust Bank launched a mobile-only bank in 2016, allowing consumers to conduct transactions purely by mobile phone. Another digital bank, Lidya, was introduced in 2016; it offers an online platform for consumers to open bank accounts, access credit and save money. Furthermore, the bank aims to partner with other bricks-and-mortar Nigerian banks to provide an online platform to small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). The advent of mobile-only banks is likely to accelerate a shift towards electronic payments in Nigeria.
Alternative payments that offer security and convenience are gradually gaining prominence in Nigeria, with banks and payment solution providers launching services. The latest of these is the launch of MasterPass by Mastercard in association with Ecobank in 2016. Similarly, Visa and Nigeria-based technology company JORG Technologies launched mVisa and Nairabox respectively in the same year. Other alternative payments available in the market include PayAttitude by six banks: UBA, Access Bank, FirstBank, Zenith Bank, Skye Bank and Diamond Bank, Verve World and PayPal.
