Google has partnered with Verve to make digital transactions on Google Play store easier for Nigerians.
The firm noted that as from Wednesday(today), Nigerians can now use their Verve cards to make purchases on the Google Play store.
It stated that under it's new partnership, Google will process Verve transactions within Nigeria and the transactions will be undertaken in Naira and treated as local transactions by the country's banking institutions.

This is quite laudable and saves people the stress of sourcing for dollar cards to make purchases on the store.

CBN's recent policies are now taking effect. More to come.

Don't know how it's due to CBN policies but whichever it is, it's a welcome development

The hidden danger in this is that playstore will determine their own exchange rates. They may decide to take N1,000/$1 as exchange rate. This is what happened to Ghanaian Cedis and Ugandan Shilling. Now Google is charging 3,500 Ugandan Shilling to a Dollar and because of Google Monopoly, Ugandan Shilling and Ghanaian Cedis are loosing values every day because people look up to the exchange rate of playstore

Has anyone tried this and found success? If so, which bank card—a physical or virtual one—did they use? My virtual Verve card is not accepted by the Play Store.
