Notably, users can pay their monthly utility bills as well as make payments to retailers in the country.

Wallets Africa is another prepaid payment instrument widely used by consumers in Nigeria. Users can use the digital wallet to send and receive money and make utility payments through mobile applications and websites.

Nigerian banks are targeting teens with prepaid card products to boost financial inclusion in the country:

Traditional banking players are competing to outdo each other in winning not only adults but also teens. In the past, teens were not considered eligible to have a banking account. However, to boost financial inclusion at an early age, banks can now offer parents to operate the accounts for their children. For instance,

First Bank, the premier banking institution in the country, has two different packages for teens known as KidsFirst and MeFirst. Moreover, the bank provides kids with a trendy gift when the account is opened with a minimum of N10,000. The account is automatically converted into a MeFirst account when the kid turns 13.
