Good news is if you find yourself in that “Oh My God!” moment when you realize you have either forgotten your bank card at home or temporarily lost your cards, you really do not have to panic anymore.

With the help of your mobile phone and a “Paycode”, you can now make withdrawals from ATMs without your bank card,

The point of advanced technology generally is to make operations easier, quicker and more convenient for everyone so it’s really good things are looking up for us here in Nigeria.
