(Learn how to use Cardless Withdrawal in Nigeria to withdraw money from your bank on any ATM gallery without your ATM card or making a bank transfer to anybody. This tutorial applies to all Banks in Nigeria)

You urgently need to withdraw some money but you’re not with your ATM card (MasterCard, Verve or VISA), does that mean there’s no possible way except you make a bank transfer or get your card?

Definitely No!

The Cardless Withdrawal in Nigeria got you!

Right in this blog post, I will show you how you can withdraw money from any ATM stand in Nigeria without your ATM card.

I’m not going to bore you with long text, but straight to the point. 

But before I start the easy tutorial, kindly note that Cardless Withdrawal is 100% legal and safe as long as someone who knows your banking details didn’t steals your phone to perform the transaction.

So, that’s a warning for you; don’t ever let anybody have access to your phone without your consent or lock your banking apps and ensure you don’t reveal your banking PIN to anybody.

Now, let’s talk about how you can withdraw cash from an ATM without using your MasterCard, VISA or Verve.

How to Use Cardless Withdrawal in Nigeria

I’m going to split this tutorial into two methods and you can choose (or use) any of them.

1. Using Your Banking Mobile App
2. Using Your Bank USSD Code

Basically, if you want to use cardless withdrawal, you need to generate a token or what is called Paycode. This paycode is what you will punch on the ATM with the selected 4-digits PIN and amount.

How much is the cardless withdrawal fee in Nigeria?

Kindly note that N100 will be deducted for using the Cardless withdrawal service in Nigeria. If you want to withdraw N5000, have it in mind that N5100 will be debited from your account.

How to perform Cardless Withdrawal Withdrawal via Banking Mobile App

Note that this cardless withdrawal procedure is the same for all banks (GTBank, First Bank, UBA, Diamond, VFD Bank etc.), although, it might be slightly different due to how the banking mobile apps are designed. 

And we are going to do this in two easy steps;

STEP 1: On your Mobile App

• Open your banking mobile app (if you don’t have, go to Playstore or Appstore to download your bank’s mobile app e.g GTWorld)
• Sign in with your preferred method
• Go to your mobile app menu and click on Cardless withdrawal (on GTworld app, click on Cashout in the home screen)
• Select the account to debit (simply select your savings account or account with money)
• If your app ask for the cashout terminal (such as GTBank), choose ATM
• Select or write the amount you want to withdraw
• Choose any 4-digits PIN to authenticate the cardless withdrawal at any ATM stand
• Click on continue or submit

That’s all you need to do on your mobile app.

• Now, select Cardless Withdrawal or Paycode feature >> Click on PROCEED

• Type amount (you don’t need to include the N100 fee, it’s automatic)
• Finally click on PROCEED

The ATM will process your transaction and if the details you entered are correct, the money will be dispensed within one minute or less.

This is nothing but good news as the digital payment giant, PayPal set to allow the buying, holding, and selling of cryptocurrencies by early 2021. Although Skrill and CashApp have this feature in their product it’s not as popular enough as PayPal.

PayPal boasts of 26 million customers across the world, where most of these customers are cryptocurrency enthusiasts but they had no choice but to stick to their cryptocurrency wallet apps.

PayPal Holdings, Inc. gladden the hearts of its users when they announced on the 20th of October, 2020 that we can be able to buy, sell, or HODL cryptocurrencies on our PayPal accounts without connecting or linking to an external crypto exchange service.

Just in case you don’t know;

PayPal is an American company offering online payment systems for its users since 1998. The company allows its users to send, receive money, and also buy or pay for something online.

Since the company has been actively operating, they deal with currencies like USD, EUR, GBP, and other popular currencies spend in different countries of the world, but since cryptos are not used popularly as means of exchange of goods and services, PayPal hasn’t added cryptos to its platform.

You might be thinking…

Will this Cryptos Features Be Available on Nigeria PayPal Accounts?

Well, I’m not sure until when PayPal finally offers the Cryptos services by early 2021 as they’ve announced. But the chance that we will have this Cryptos feature in our Nigeria PayPal accounts is very lean.

Recall that PayPal itself is not 100% available in countries like Nigeria, Pakistan, etc… Nigeria’s PayPal can only be used to purchase something online, it cannot send out funds not to talk of withdrawing money to your local bank account.

But if this PayPal cryptos service really works in our PayPal, then, that will be the best thing that has ever happened in Nigeria’s global payment sector after the acquisition of Nigeria’s fintech startup, Paystack by Stripe.

But let’s just hope for the best, as PayPal said they plan to make sure its crypto service is available as a source of funds to its 26 million users across the world (They haven’t made any exemption yet).

But why is PayPal venturing into Cryptos all of sudden?

That’s one of the questions people may need to find answers to.

Of course, PayPal has been existing since two decades ago, and Crypto is neither a new thing as well. But according to a press statement quoted by Nairametrics, the president and CEO of PayPal, Dan Schulman said the reason why Paypal is going into cryptocurrency is that:

“The shift to digital forms of currencies is inevitable, bringing with it clear advantages in terms of speed, the ability for governments to disburse funds quickly, resilience, efficiency, financial inclusion, and access.”

The PayPal CEO further said they’re working with central banks and financial regulators around the world to offer their support in shaping the impact of digital currencies globally.

The digital payment company has been granted conditional Bitlicense by the NYPDFS, the New York State Department of Financial Services in other to encourage or support New York consumers through a partnership with the city authorized virtual currency companies.

How PayPal is going to achieve this Cryptos’ Feast?

A licensed and regulated crypto services provider company known as PAXOS Trust Company made it possible for PayPal to achieve their dream of offering crypto services to its 26 million (and new users) across the world.

CONCLUSION:

This is a great development and we are expecting to see this amazing feature soon! Even if PayPal will not allow Nigeria’s PayPal accounts to enjoy this crypto service, I believe it will still be of benefit to those currency exchangers in Nigeria – provided they play along smartly.

#EndSARS #PoliceBrutalityinNigeria #BadGovernance

I feel so disturbed seeing unarmed protesters being killed by Nigerian security agencies just for protesting peacefully against the bad omens in the country.

Everywhere is risky and in chaos, war is subtly escalating!

I really wish I can call every and each reader of my blog, pertaining to this our dear country – Nigeria.

A lot has been happening in the country which has negatively affected us democratically. Nigeria is the world poverty capital of the world but yet, we have the richest politicians in the world. Our reputation is not good globally and the whole Nigeria system (Education, infrastructure, employment, government, and everything)  is a SCAM.

….and, it’s time things change for the better.

For example, we need a country where foreign investors and company will be glad to work with. That’s why thousands of patriot Nigerian youths are protesting against Bad governance, Police brutality, and other bad things happening in the country.

But right now, as your brother, friend or son, kindly stay INDOOR for now. This is not the right time to REVENGE, let’s stay SAFE and come back stronger.

World powerful organizations such as the UK parliament etc., are interfering. And hopefully, the ICC and the United Nations won’t ignore us.

Please stay INDOOR, that’s the best precaution to stay SAFE, this is not Corona Virus, this is more brutal than COVID-19.

Stay at HOME, Stay SAFE!!!
