What is WebPay Nigeria?
WebPay Nigeria, or WebPay as it is more commonly known as, is an online payment method that is owned by Interswitch. You can only make use of this service if you have a bank card. When you have an account with WebPay, you will find that the payment process is relatively straightforward.
We have decided to outline the process below:
- Go on to the bookmaker’s payment page.
- Select the type of card that you have and enter your details and pin.
- Decide how much you would like to deposit and click the ‘pay ‘button. The money will appear in. your bookmaker account almost instantly.
N.B. The minimum amount that you can deposit is N50 while the maximum amount that you can deposit is as high as N1,000,000.
How to Open an Account with WebPay Nigeria in Nigeria
With this type of payment method, you do not need to create an account. All that you need in order to be able to use this payment option is a Nigerian bank card. If you have one of these, then simply follow the deposit method that we mentioned just above, and you will be able to bet on sports in no time at all.
Fees and Commissions for Using WebPay Nigeria
When it comes to fees and commissions for users, we could not find much information at all. Therefore, you will just have to find out whether there are any fees when using it yourself.
However, we did find that companies that want to register to use this payment method have to pay a one-time fee of N150,000. After this, they are charged 1.5% per transaction below a certain amount. When a transaction is made above a certain amount, then there will be a fee of N2,000. These transaction fees are probably one of the reasons why you will not find this payment method at all bookmakers that accept Nigerian players.
Although there are fees to be paid, as you will just be using this as a payment method, you do not have to worry about them.
