Ecobank Nigeria has announced an increase in the maximum daily limit of their Naira Debit Cards abroad depending on the type of Card held by the Customer.
Customers with Naira Debit Cards can now pay up to $4,000.00 and $5,000.00 per day on Online Channels and POS terminals respectively across the world. Also Foreign Currency Debit Card Holders can spend up to $5,000.00 daily from their Domiciliary Accounts held in the Bank.
For Ecobank Premier Customers with Platinum Credit Cards, daily transaction limits of $15,000.00 apply. These limits are however subject to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s annual spending limits on Naira and Foreign Currency Denominated Cards.

“This is positive news for our customers, particularly for those travelling abroad for business and leisure and for our Customers in Diaspora. It is very important that Customers of Ecobank access their accounts with relative ease wherever they are, within or outside Nigeria”, he stressed.
