February 15, (THEWILL) — AfriGO cards are now available on PalmPay, enabling Nigerians to request the national domestic card directly through the PalmPay mobile app.
According to the company, this integration expands access to AfriGO by making the card request process available across both digital and physical touch points. By leveraging a platform already used daily for payments, transfers, and other financial services, more Nigerians can now easily access card-based payment options.
AfriGO cards are designed to work seamlessly across Nigeria’s payments ecosystem, with wide acceptance on ATMs, Point of Sale (POS) terminals, and online platforms nationwide.
On the other hand, PalmPay users can request an AfriGO card by logging into the PalmPay app. In addition, those who prefer in-person assistance can visit PalmPay’s customer experience centers or speak with PalmPay’s over 500,000 agents nationwide for guidance and support on the AfriGO card request process.
Commenting on the integration, the Managing Director of AfriGO, Ebehijie Momoh, said:
“AfriGO represents our long-term vision for a payments ecosystem that is designed around Nigeria’s needs and realities. By making AfriGO cards available on the PalmPay app, we are removing barriers to access and ensuring that more Nigerians can participate fully in the digital economy.”
Also, commenting on the integration, the Managing Director of PalmPay, Chika Nwosu, said:
“Many Nigerians still face challenges accessing reliable card service. By enabling AfriGO card requests directly on the PalmPay app, we’re making banking smarter and more accessible, while giving users the confidence to pay seamlessly across Nigeria’s payment ecosystem.”
The availability of AfriGO cards on PalmPay reinforces AfriGO’s commitment to expanding distribution through trusted digital platforms while strengthening the adoption of a payment solution designed for Nigeria.
AfriGO is Nigeria’s national domestic card scheme launched by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in collaboration with Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS). The scheme is designed to deepen financial inclusion, reduce transaction costs, enhance payment efficiency and support Nigeria’s transition to a digital economy.
