Where in nigeria do people use credit cards besides the bank?

Question

i didn't see to many places where you can use a credit card other than my hotel

Answer 1

Mostly they uses in the net to withdraw money from it. But the card is not belonging to them. It may be of others. Don't u every heard of Nigerial Scam(s)?!

Answer 2

The use of international credit cards is just kicking i in Nigeria as it was just intoruced into the Nigerian banking system barely 2 years ago. Before its inroduction it was basically in hotels.

Today, in major towns like Lagos, Portharcourt and Abuja you can use them in some supermarkets, fancy restaurants, fast food joints, ATM machines; a selected few with which you can actually withdraw U.S dollars on (located at international airports) and travel agents.

NEVER USE YOUR CREDIT CARD IN YOUR HOTEL. Your credit card details (name, add, etc) can be copied easily by eployees and sold/used later for a shoping spree on the internet. I know I might sound paranoid but Ive seen it happen many times.  Its better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 3

.....fine dining restaurants, big supermarkets, big malls, car rentals and airlines.....

Answer 4

You are right, credit cards are used only in large, international chains hotels, in some travel agencies to purchase air tickets and in some banks to draw cash.

At the international airports, there are ATMs where you can draw Nigerian currency against foreign credit cards.

I do not remember ever using my credit card in any shop or restaurant.
