Virtual USD card issuing for other African countries
Our USD card issuing service is now available in new African countries. Your users in countries like Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, and Rwanda, can now get a virtual dollar card to make international transactions or pay for their subscriptions online. Here's how the Mono Issuing API works.
New KYC requirements for virtual USD cards
We have made an important KYC update for our virtual USD cards. When creating a virtual dollar card, users are now required to submit additional identity information to complete the KYC process.
Nigerian users are required to upload an image of their NIN slip, International passport, or Driver's license while users in other countries are to submit an image of their international passport before they can make basic card operations.
Improved card features for virtual Naira cards
Card operations on our virtual NGN cards have been significantly improved. You can now temporarily disable or re-enable their cards, permanently delete them, and send available card balances back to your issuing wallet, if you prefer. Here's how these card operations work.
