Halocard virtual card for Nigerians
Nigerian banks suspended international transactions on naira cards for years. Even now, the limits are tiny. Halocard gave me a proper US credit card — I can finally pay for tools and subscriptions without worrying about blocks.

Why Nigerians need Halocard for international payments

US Visa credit

Real Visa credit cards issued from the USA

Nigerian banks suspended ALL international naira card transactions for three years (2022–2025). Even now, limits are just $1,000/quarter. Halocard gives you US-issued Visa credit cards with no local banking restrictions.

Multiple cards

More virtual cards for every purchase

Create dedicated cards for SaaS subscriptions, freelance tools, and international services. Isolate costs and prevent billing surprises.

US billing address

US billing address included

Every card comes with a US billing address (or choose to nominate your own) which is essential to access US-only services and pass address verification checks.

Private purchases

Independent of Nigerian bank restrictions

Halocard operates outside the Nigerian banking system. No CBN FX restrictions, no $1,000/quarter caps, no dependence on local dollar liquidity.

Nigerian card restrictions for international payments explained

Why do Nigerian cards fail for international payments?

Nigerian banks suspended ALL international transactions on naira cards for nearly three years (2022–2025) due to severe FX pressures and dollar shortages. Banks only resumed international card use in July 2025, with strict quarterly caps of just $1,000. Halocard bypasses these restrictions entirely with US-issued Visa credit cards.

3 years

Duration of the suspension on international transactions for naira cards (2022–2025), leaving millions unable to pay for global services.

$1,000/qtr

Current quarterly limit on international transactions for naira cards — far too low for businesses and professionals.
