Because my account have my money impossible I close my account I’m Indian south africa very far to my my country my agent told me need affidavit fees maximum 850 usd please you give me idea OK sir
I have no idea on how you obtained the bank account you are talking about. What I can say is that let your agent handle it for as long as this isn’t scam. Remember, scam is much online. Only deal with people you trust and or the bank itself. You can use the bank contact located on their website.

The whole story you shared matches many of those who have been scammed. I doubt that so called agent of yours didn’t scam you. But if you insist and trust him, then you had no reason to reach here. I would advise you deal with him to complete everything otherwise, your story makes me feel sorry for you. Unless otherwise, you are a victim of scam. Kindly locate the UBA bank website and share the same story. I am sure they will tell you to send them what you have and they will prove to you. Sorry brother

Is it possible to verify PayPal with a UBA prepaid Africard
Kayo, the answer is YES. You can verify your PayPal account using UBA bank card and instantly. The PPCODE or verification code is accessed when you log onto your online account of the card.
I would like to get a visa debit card, not a prepaid Visa Debit card though. Which banks do you think are the best in Uganda?
DFCU, DTB, Stanbic and many others. A debit card will simply use the money on your linked bank account. On a prepaid, what you load is what you are supposed to spend.
I have received a visa card from uba bank benin,they asked me to pay activation fees,then change euros to zambian fees.is this real or scam
Hello I received an email telling me I had 5 million on an UBA prepaid card and they gave me all the information to log in and see it. It does say it is in my name and there is 5 million in the account but when I try to transfer funds it says I have to apply for a card. The email stated that it would cost me $1,250 to have it sent to me. I see you can apply online but I don’t want to give out to much information before I verify this so does anyone know how I can verify
It is sad that its only you who have the information you want others help you verify and which is impossible. Your concern raises many questions. How did the email sender know that it was you? How did it all happen? Who put the money for you? And so forth. It will be better to Contact UBA bank branch near you so you can verify.
Sorry i asked you to help needless to say you are not helpful at all. Why bother telling people to ask for help when you want to give none. Shame on you
You are so rude. Nevertheless, I am not a UBA bank staff and which means that I can’t help in telling whether the email you got is genuine or not. Like I said, visiting the UBA bank branch nearer to you will be helpful. Besides, you did share the email of the sender. How do you expect someone to say that its valid or not? Check this post and confirm if some of the contents of the email are like what many others have gotten in the ongoing scam..
Is it possible to link a UBA master card to PayPal?
Yes please. UBA has eBanking and which you can log in and get your PP code.

This to me looks scam besides the fact that it is signed with uba link. I would suggest that you contact uba bank directly and inquire if this is legitimate. I really wonder why you at asked to send money through such a way. Please don’t fall victim, inquire before that….

Siki,
In my country is non UBA but me have a africard visa credit card approval and the africard in my but me received by DHL without the envelope with the PIN CODE withdraw or passcode I receive only and only the africard visa card and the card is blocked in Senegal
You need a pass code in order to log in to this portal where you can create the ATM pass http://www.myubaafricard.com. All I can recommend is that you check out the envelope where you card came since it contains all required information. In case it doesn’t, then contact the Senegal bank which issued the card. You can simply email them.
I live in Pakistan. My friend leave visa ATM card in uba bank for me.DHL courier fee 410 dollars.but I don’t know what is your currency rate in Pakistan.can u tell me something in this matter.

Hi ,
about applying for the visa card. I am a Ugandan citizen but am not in uganda right now. And will not be for the next year. In addition,the country am in does not have UB.i urgently need to apply and get a visa card . Is it possibe for me to do it online ? And if it is..how do i do it and how long will it take?
Thanks for the comment. Please visit Uganda UBA Bank Website and get their customer helpline number. As the details you want and you will be responded.
With this UBA card, I have been able to purchase free things online. Thank you for this valuable information, it will be helpful for lots of Nigerians looking to shop online.
I have really learned new things through your blog post. One other thing I have seen is that typically, FSBO sellers will reject a person. Remember, they’d prefer not to use your providers. But if anyone maintain a comfortable, professional romance, offering support and keeping contact for four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win a discussion. From there, a listing follows. Thanks a lot
UBA free prepaid visa cards are great. They help you spend what you add. You can use it anywhere including verify PayPal and many others like Skrill. You made the research. Hmm, just for laugh – Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPhone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a YouTube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone! Good work done.
Oh my God, a free debit prepaid visa card from UBA? Thank you so much. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate to this superb blog! I guess for now I’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way! Good work.
