Gloria NnebedumWe live in a digital-first world, but sometimes you need to bridge the gap between your digital wallet and the physical world. Whether it's withdrawing cash from an ATM, making payments at a store without a POS, or simply having a backup when your phone runs out of battery, your Nomba Physical Card ensures you're never cut off from your money.
If you've been wondering how to get your hands on this convenient piece of plastic, you're in the right place. Here's everything you need to know about ordering, receiving, and activating your Nomba Physical Card.
Why You Need a Nomba Physical Card
Your Nomba app is powerful, but your physical card extends that power into spaces where apps can't reach:
- ATM Access: Withdraw cash when you need it most
- POS Payments: Pay at any merchant that accepts cards
- Backup Solution: Stay financially connected even when technology fails
- International Use: Access your funds when traveling
Ordering Your Card is Simple
Getting your Nomba Physical Card takes just a few taps in your app. Here's the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Navigate to the 'Cards' Tab
Open your Nomba app and log in. On the main dashboard, tap on the 'Cards' tab, which should be right in front of you when the app opens. This is your central hub for managing all your Nomba cards.
Step 2: Choose to Create a New Card
In the cards section, you'll see an option to 'Create Card' or a '+' icon. Tap on it to begin the process of ordering your new card.
Step 3: Select 'Physical Card'
You will be presented with the types of cards you can create. Select 'Physical Card'. Please note that there is a one-time issuance fee of ₦1,000 for the card.
Step 4: Confirm Your Order
For your security, you'll be prompted to enter your 4-digit transaction PIN to confirm the order and authorize the fee. Once you've entered your PIN correctly, your order is placed!
Step 5: Choose Your Delivery Method
We offer two convenient ways to get your card:
- Pick-Up: You can choose to pick up your card at no extra cost from one of our designated offices in Lekki or Ikeja.
- Delivery: For a small fee, you can have the card delivered directly to your doorstep. Simply provide your address, and we'll handle the rest.
You can even track the status of your card's delivery directly within the app, so you'll know exactly when to expect it.
Activating Your New Card
Once your card has arrived, the final step is to activate it.
Step 1: Go to 'Manage Card'
Head back to the 'Cards' tab in your app and tap on your new, inactive physical card. You will see a section or button labelled 'Manage Card'.
Step 2: Select 'Activate Card'
Tap on 'Activate Card'. You will be asked to enter the card number and the 3-digit CVV from the back of your new card. This is a security measure to ensure you are the one activating it.
