UBA Says Its Atm Card Can Now Be Used On Any Site, Anywhere

Africa’s global bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has said that it’s Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) card can be used on any site, anywhere in the world.

The bank made the clarification in an email sent to customers by the Group  Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Bola Atta following an earlier communication restricting the use of the card in certain sites.

The financial institution in the earlier mail sent to customers titled “we want you to transact safely”, disclosed that its customers can no longer use their ATM cards to fund some lifestyles including the purchase of jewelries.

The mail sent to customers on Thursday evening noted that the UBA debit and prepaid cards are now restricted from carrying out such transactions.

But the bank in the reversal of the policy said customers can now use their card on any site, anywhere.

The statement reads”
