On the African front, Verve cardholders are provided with
the benefit of using the Verve card in Nigeria and 21 other African countries,
underscoring the company’s resolve to ensure the seamlessness of transactions
across the continent, particularly for the critical mass of consumer
demographics, whilst driving value and efficiency for African financial institutions.
On a global scale, through strategic partnerships with
partners such as Discover Financial Services, as well as a plethora of rapidly
expanding issuing and acceptance partnerships, including major financial
institutions such as KCB across East Africa and a growing network of SACCOs in
Kenya and Uganda who issue/accept Verve cards; Verve cardholders are able to
perform transactions and make payments from anywhere and anytime using their
VerveCard.
The Verve Global Card from the Discover partnership is
accepted in 185 countries that include the United States of America, United
Kingdom, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Very recently, in a bid to further expand its footprint in
the East African region, the company
deepened its partnership with KCB Bank of Uganda in a move that will see the
acceptance of the Verve Card on KCB Bank’s widespread and strategically
distributed Point of Sale (POS) merchant network across Uganda, commemorated
with a joint announcement and media event in Kampala earlier in February.
Cardholders have come to regard Verve as a safe and reliable
payment solution for everything payment. Verve cards can be used across a wide
range of payment channels like Point of Sale (POS) terminals, Automated Teller
Machines (ATMs), web, among others.
Vincent Ogbunude, Chief Executive Officer, Verve
International, stated that Verve continues to provide innovative ways to make
transactions and payment more secure and convenient for loyal customers across
the globe.
He said, “As the world continues the shift towards a
cashless system, and in the face of an increased uptake of digital payments, it
has become important that we find new and innovative ways to serve our
cardholders and ensure that they have a seamless and secure payment experience,
providing them with the good life.
“At Verve, we remain focused on improving our customers’
experiences, while making their lives better; and with this in mind, we seek
