We created Barter to solve a global problem — the problem of tracking and understanding expenses as an individual, team or corporate. Barter’s solution is a virtual card creating platform where people can create cards for specific use cases and track the spending on those cards.
Our technology partner for the payments part of our solution is Flutterwave. If you’ve not heard about them, you should totally check them out; they’re doing great work in the African payments space. We chose Flutterwave because expanding to Africa was a key part of our strategy. By leveraging on their technology, we get to spread the goodness of Barter to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa.
When we started our research on the Nigerian Market, we realized that there are a lot of constraints around using regular Naira debit cards to pay for things online. That, coupled with the $100 cap on monthly spends on most local cards, spelt a real problem for a lot of people. So seeing Barter become a real solution for Nigerians has kind of become a special thing for us.
In the last week, we’ve conducted extensive tests on our cards with the help of some of our Nigerian users (thanks guys!) and they’ve helped us identify bugs, but more importantly, they’ve made us pretty knowledgeable about how to use Barter cards on a lot of sites.
We’ve put together a handy “How To” guide that covers most website types so you also know how to use Barter cards on the sites you love. If you find that you need more help with understanding how to use Barter on a particular site, please leave us a comment and we’ll help you through the process.
This is part of an ongoing series on how to use Barter cards on multiple websites. The first in the series is how to use Barter cards on Apple music, then there was Netflix, then Uber, then Amazon, followed by Asos and now, Netteller.
Please read and share.
