Today, we’re excited to share something new for Nigerians abroad: an easier and safer way to spend money when you come home to Nigeria.
Meet the Send App Travel Card 🎉
Built in partnership with Odysy and powered by Afrigo, the Send App Travel Card gives you an easier, safer way to pay anywhere in Nigeria. It’s a physical Naira card that works seamlessly at restaurants, stores, and ATMs, without the usual cash stress, exchange rate drama, or foreign card issues.
You can fund your card directly from your Send App using your UK, US, or EU card and use it to pay for food, rides, shopping, and more when you arrive.
Why You May Need a Travel Card
Every December, thousands of Nigerians living abroad travel home for weddings, reunions, concerts, and family visits. But for years, one challenge has stayed the same: spending locally can be stressful.
Carrying cash everywhere isn’t convenient, and international cards don’t always work as expected. That’s where the Send App Travel Card comes in. It’s designed to work seamlessly in Nigeria, giving you full control of your money, whether you’re home for a few weeks, on holiday, or here for business.
This launch marks another step in Send App’s mission to make it easier for anyone visiting Nigeria to spend easily and stay financially connected, not just through money transfers, but through everyday spending too.
