Naira card payment with PayU, Making payments for FaceBook Ads in naira has been available since before now, but because of the current situation of the economy in the country, banks now decline to make payments for Facebook ads in Naira, and insist that customers should pay for ads in the merchant's unit of currency which is US dollars. But the good news is that a few days ago, making payments for Facebooks ads in Naira became possible again using PAYU NG.
However, the new developments were only available to new customers who just opened a new ads accounts after the development. Old and existing customers were left out, then Facebook deactivated all their ads accounts for days, and this evening, they all got new ads account, and payment with PayU became automatically active in it. So in this article, you are going to learn how you can make payments on FaceBook, and then you will be charged in Naira, and no more USD.
1. To get started, you need to create a Facebook ads account. Creating ads account is quite easy, once you log on to your Facebook account, click on Ads Manager, then your ads account will be created.
2. Now, you will have to create your promotion or anything you want to promote on Facebook. (I trust you already know how to do that)
3. After editing your promotion and it is ready to be promoted, click on the promote button located at the button, and then you will be taken to the payments section.
4. In the payments section, you will see Two or Three payments option which will be Payoneer, PayPal, Credit or Debit Card, and Naira Card Payment with PayU
5. Now click on Payments with PayU, then the screen below will appear, just click on Continue
6. When you click on continue, you will be taken to the next page where you will enter the amount you wish to fund your account with. Type in the amount you want, the naira sign will auto add itself.
7. On the next page, you will see the amount of money you typed in, click on Continue to confirm it, or click on Back if you wish to make any change(s)
8. Once you click on continue, a new browser window will pop-up. If you follow the steps correctly, the browser will surely pop up.
9. In the new browser window, Choose payments with a card, once you begin to type in your card details, it will detect whether it is a Master Card or Visa Card. (Verve cards are currently unsupported)
10. After filling out your card details, click on pay/continue. If you are using a GTB account, you'll be required to enter OTP (One-Time-Password). You can get the OTP via SMS or via a hardware token if you have one.
11. Once you get the 6 or 7-digit OTP, input it on the space provided then click on pay.
12. Your request will be processed, and if you did everything correctly, you would receive a success notification, and the new browser window will automatically close by itself.
So that is all you will need. If you encounter any challenge, feel free to tell us, and we will assist you
I have gotten to the last stage where you enter your otp but unfortunately my transaction was being declined. But what might be responsible? Or is #10,000 too small to get funded on payu?
ReplyDeleteIt must be from your bank. Do you have up to 10k in your account? if yes, then try a lower amount like 5K and see if it will go. I did as low as 600naira and 1k on 2 different occasions and they both went through without wasting a minute

Hi Techvillz,I clicked on Facebook Ads manager. I couldn't find where to click to change the timezone. What I saw was campaigns,billings and manage notifications.
ReplyDeleteIf the ads manager from your facebook profile didn't work for you, then use (business.facebook.com)
DeleteIt is the same thing as the ads manager in your profile
Hi Techvillz, thanks for your assistance so far. I opened the business.Facebook.com, opened a new Facebook ad account and clicked on payment option.I saw three payment options but didn't see that of naira payment with payu. What am I supposed to do next?
ReplyDeleteThe billing country and the currency have been set as Nigeria and Nigerian naira respectively but I still can't see the PayU option
ReplyDeleteOr do I open another Facebook account?
ReplyDeleteIn most cases, the payment option with PayU is enabled automatically.
DeleteIf it isn't there for you, the best option you have is to pay in USD,
Do you have a payoneer card?
No, I don't have a pioneer card. How do I get one and how do I enable it?
ReplyDeletegetting a payoneer card entails alot.. send me a mail via blog contact page

DeleteI tried paying using my bank visa card but the payment wasn't accepted, I've also read similar complains and tried to change my country settings but the account is already being billed in naira and I can't find the option of payu in the payment options. I'm really freaked out as I started advertising recently and the one I did was effective. How can this be resolved? Should I call pay u to see if there's a way they can help ? You talked about payoneer, please enlighten me on how it works. Thank you for ur post
ReplyDeleteI recommend you make use of a Master Card. It works flawlessly compared to Verve or Visa card.
DeleteHello Tech Villz, I'm Idirs Olalekan. I tried paying with both my mastercard and visa debit cards for facebooks ads but both cards were declined. Among my payment option, apart from debit/credit option, the other option is facebook coupons, I have no payU option. pls how do I go about solving this problem?
ReplyDeleteThe option of PAYU is enabled by Facebook.
DeleteBut you can also try opening a Facebook business account first by going to business.facebook.com
