Disadvantages of using a dollar dominated Facebook ads account Easy steps on how to run your Facebook Ads in Naira

In the past, people have to use a dollar account before they can run ads on Facebook. This can be a herculean task as the stress of funding a dollar account and the service charges you pay for such account and card maintenance could be converted to more advertising costs to boost more leads/sales.

An excellent method of payment is through virtual cards for Facebook advertising from PSTNET. These cards are Visa/Mastercard in USD and EUR. Low top-up fees starting from 2%. The first card doesn’t require any documentation. They can be recharged using cryptocurrency, bank transfers, and cards. The risk of blocking and payment rejection is minimal due to the US and European BINs (25+) and 3DS (codes are sent to the personal account or Telegram bot). The best terms are offered to teams and individuals with significant turnovers through the PST Private program.

Now there is a way to run your ads on Facebook and pay with your debit card in Naira without stress. The solution is “payU”.

Point to note

Please note that before you can pay with PayU, your Facebook ads manager currency must be set to “Naira” and you must see the “Local Cards” option in your Facebook Ads manager payment methods.

If you change your FB ads account currency from dollars to Naira, you might not see the PayU option in your payment methods. Hence, you might have to create a new Facebook account.

In addition, some banks Master cards like Zenith bank, Access bank master card, UBA prepaid card, FCMB card and some say GTB worked for them without payU. I had issues using my GTB Master card but my Zenith Master card worked seamlessly without even switching to payU.
