Travel cashless during Easter

What are your travel plans this Easter? Why not travel light and cashless. Travelling with cash is actually no longer the trendy thing to do. UBA offers you various options to hit the road without money and still get to your destination without being stranded for cash.

All you need are the various cashless options offered by UBA. The great thing about making UBA cards your travel companion during this period is that they offer superior safety features. All UBA card transactions are highly secured with the best card technology. UBA Cards offer additional security features for all online transactions, with all online transactions protected by UBA’s SMS One Time Password (OTP), MasterCard SecureCode and Visa’s “Verified by Visa (VBV).”

There are various card options for intending travelers offered by UBA. There is the UBA Prepaid card which is just ideal for those who do not have account with UBA but would like avoid carrying cash around this Easter holiday. With a Prepaid card, there is no need for an account. Anyone can walk into a UBA Business Office and load cash on his or her Prepaid Card and be assured that he can cash that money on any ATM of his choice in any part of the country or outside the country. A UBA Prepaid Card is the ideal travel companion because of its superior security features.

With UBA prepaid cards, you can actually control the amount of money you plan to spend on a trip well in advance. You can load just the amount of money you need for a trip on a Prepaid Card and therefore keep your expenses strictly within your budget and shut out impulse buying.

There is also the UBA Dual Currency Debit Card (DCDC) which gives you the option to spend money from either your domiciliary account or regular Naira account. With the DCDC, you can spend money strictly from your domiciliary account when out of the country and only from your Naira account when within the country. So with one card, you have access to two independent accounts.

Also, UBA cards are issued in Naira, US Dollar, British Pound and EURO currencies, depending on the card type requested for. The implication is that UBA Card holders can go around the world with access to their foreign currency accounts, anywhere in the world, without raising suspicion. It is the safest and most convenient way to travel.

With UBA Cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Verve and Africard, holders have access to great value added services like: airtime top-up, bill payments (DSTV, Star Time, MTN, etc) via UBA ATM terminals or online. Holders of UBA Cards can also carry out instant fund transfers to any other bank account across the country.

A more interesting part with the UBA offering is that you can also decide to have your bank transferred to your phone and deal with all your banking transactions via phone.

UBA has a highly secured mobile platform, U-Mobile, which enables customers carry out about 90 per cent of all their regular banking transactions on their phones. With UBA U-Mobile, customers can transfer funds from one account to another in the same bank or from their UBA account to any other bank’s account. There is also U-Direct, an internet banking platform compatible with tablets, phablets, laptops and personal computers.

Customers can also pay for different bills, including air time top-up, DSTV subscription, buy local and international tickets or transfer funds to loved ones for the festive season.

Banking with UBA means carrying cash around this festive period is absolutely unnecessary. Your card, phone, tablet, laptop or personal computers are all better alternatives to cash during this festive season.
