As digital payments become central to daily living, access to reliable and flexible financial tools is increasingly shaping how people shop, travel, and manage expenses. Credit cards, in particular, have emerged as essential instruments, offering users convenience, global access, and short-term financial relief when needed.
Positioning itself within this space, FirstBank has introduced its Naira Credit Card as a solution tailored to meet the evolving needs of everyday users. The card is designed to support both routine transactions and international spending, while maintaining a balance between flexibility and financial control.
Issued in partnership with Visa International, the FirstBank Naira Credit Card is accepted at more than 29 million merchant locations and 1.8 million ATMs worldwide, enabling cardholders to transact seamlessly across borders. The product also offers up to 45 days of interest-free credit on utilised funds, providing users with a window to manage payments without immediate financial strain.
The card operates on a revolving credit system, allowing customers to access funds up to a pre-approved limit, with interest charged at 2.5 per cent monthly on any unpaid balance. This structure enables continuous access to credit, provided minimum repayment conditions are met.
Beyond salaried individuals, the offering extends eligibility to investment holders, including those with fixed deposits and treasury bills, who can leverage these assets as collateral to access credit. This approach broadens financial inclusion by allowing more individuals to participate, regardless of traditional income structures.
For higher-tier users, a credit limit of ₦1 million and above qualifies customers for the Platinum category, which typically comes with enhanced privileges and spending capacity.
