However, as a Nigerian shopper, I know it is no longer possible to order from Amazon using the Naira card due to the government ban on them. Nevertheless, you can use a virtual card to make payments on Amazon. This is where the Bitnob virtual card comes in. Not only is it easy to create, but it is also safe.
