Google lists naira as payment option on Play Store

Google has partnered with Verve, allowing Nigerian users to use Verve cards for purchases on the Google Play Store with the Naira currency.

With this collaboration, Google will process Verve transactions within Nigeria, and these transactions will be conducted in the local currency, Naira.

This means that the transactions will be treated as local transactions by Nigerian banking institutions.

Anthea Crawford, the Head of Retail and Payment Partnerships at Google Play, expressed excitement about the collaboration with Verve, as it will expand Google Play access for more Nigerians.

Vincent Ogbunude, the Managing Director of Verve International stated that the collaboration was a significant step towards achieving financial inclusion.
