Advantages of using Noupia HQ
I spotted out 9 advantages of Noupia over various credit card issuers which are;
- Noupia’s Interface is user friendly: It is very easy to navigate the dashboard and interface of Noupia even if you are a noob or a beginner in such stuffs, it will be very easy for you to use.
- Noupia is secured: On every new registration of a member in Noupia, they ask for a verification of your legal documents (National Identity Card or Passport Or Driver License) which will make your account unique for you. Do you know of virtual credit card issuers that do same? Obviously no. More so, you will be asked to verify your mobile number and email address. All these measures are implied to secure all informations and transactions for all its users.
- Withdrawal can be done from your Credit Card to Mobile Money account: You can withdraw your funds from your credit card to your MoMo account and top up from your MoMo to credit card instantly, easy and fast.
- Very small withdrawal fees: Noupia charges a fee of 1% on every withdrawal you do. Isn’t that awesome? many other providers put a fix rate even for small amount of money to be withdrawn and as such will tend to cut off your money but Noupia changes all of that and charge you 1% based on your withdrawal amount.
- Obtain a virtual credit card at a cheap price: Noupia offers credit cards at very cheap prices. If you are in Cameroon, you will need an amount of 5000FCFA to load in your noupia account. Note that 2000FCFA will be for the credit card issuing and 3000FCFA ($5USD) will be used to fund your credit card once it’s issued. So we can say you will pay just 2000FCFA for your virtual credit card which you will have to recharge with 3000FCFA. So 2000 + 3000 = 5000FCFA. That very cheap and affordable for almost everyone. We should note that banks issue credit cards at an amount of 12,500FCFA in Cameroon. So Noupia, helps you save an amount of 7500FCFA.
- Effective Customer Care Service and Assistance: The most important part of every company or business is its customer care service because that is where all issues faced by users are to be directed for assistance. Noupia replies instantly as they receive your worries and help you sort them out.

- Noupia is not country restricted: Country restricted here means it can only work in some specific countries specified by the company. Noupia breaks these boundaries and operates world wide in all countries to easily facilitate the transfer of money from abroad and your country and vice versa.
