How to withdraw money from the ATM without your debit card

While exploring the underbellies of the internet, I discovered something that would blow your minds. Apparently, there is a new way in Nigeria to withdraw money from the ATM machine without your debit card being physically present.
It sounded like a big joke at first until I personally confirmed it. Interswitch, Nigeria’s largest payment processing company have launched Verve World, an app  that lets users do the magic I mentioned above.
In an easy step by step format, I am going to show you how to use Verve Paycode without any stress.

Step 1- Download App

Or simply login with an existing Interswitch account. Most people would find this a lot easier than signing up afresh as card details would not be requested again. This was how I did mine.

You would be given the option of generating a unique one-time code valid for 24 hours, which can be used to withdraw cash from an ATM machine without a card. The Verve Paycode can then be sent to a loved one or friend to withdraw a pre-set amount of money from most ATMs in the country.

You can also generate a POS PIN for payment at eateries and at the mall.

Verdict

The Verve World App can do a whole lot of other cool stuff. But honestly, Verve Paycode is still the feature that excites me the most. Cardless transactions that allows you shop and get without the hassles of lugging multiple cards all over the place.
There is an option to automatically recharge your mobile phone at the click of a button, but this Verve Paycode has got me all hyped.  I am still exploring the limits of the Verve Paycode, would keep you updated.
