Nigeria remains a mainly cash-driven society, though debit card usage is growing. Pre-paid cards, however, are not a popular option, and while the number of cards is expected to increase, constant transaction value is expected to fall in 2023, as inflation remains very high. There is little awareness of pre-paid cards and most open loop cards are in foreign currency. Closed loop cards dominate, though open loop cards register higher growth in 2023.
