Visa card has load so f benefits unavailable with other ATM cards in Nigeria, like verve card or MasterCard. For one, it is very easy to make online transaction with your visa card in comparison with your MasterCard. Many online websites do not even recognize verve card.
In recent times anyway, Nigerian MasterCard is now easily recognized online, but it is still not as smooth as visa card for online business transaction. For example, online websites, like Amazon will accept payment via your visa card, but the same payment may be delayed on MasterCard or the transaction may be turned down.
Aside the few benefits mentioned earlier, both MasterCard and visa card seem to have the same measure of benefits; this is more so since MasterCard is now upgraded for online payment.
