Nigerian banks stops ATM card usage in USA, China and some other countries

Some Nigerian banks have decided to stop the usage of their electronic cards from working in the US, China and some few other countries.  This is as a result of rising cases of electronic frauds, especially Automated Teller Machine-related scams, which have made Deposit Money Banks to lose billions of naira in recent times.
 
It was gathered that the banks took the action following the huge amount they were spending in refunding customers who had lost money in payment cards related frauds.
 
 
“A number of banks decided to deactivate their payment cards from working in the USA, China and a few other countries that are still using magnetic stripe instead of the chip and PIN,” a top bank official familiar with the situation said on Sunday.
 
“The decision was caused by the rising cases of fraudsters using cloned Nigerian ATM cards to make shopping transactions malls in the USA and China,” he added.
 
Apart from fraudsters using cloned payment cards issued by Nigerian banks to buy goods abroad, it was gathered that some of the payment cards had also been used to withdraw money from ATMs in foreign countries, especially in the US.
 
“This scam has been on for a very long time but it has reduced drastically since some banks decided to deactivate their payment cards from working overseas. However, what we have done as a bank is to tell our customers to inform us whenever they are travelling overseas so that we can activate their payment cards to work overseas. Once they tell us, we will activate it,” the banker explained.
 
According to the Central Bank of Nigeria statistics, banks lost N40bn to electronic frauds in 2013 alone.
