So you’re wondering what the differences are between the USD virtual debit card and the FCFA debit card? Here are a few:

• Your new debit card provided by a partner has a currency in dollars (USD), whereas PaySika’s own bank card is in FCFA.
• The minimum top-up amount is $1 (But for the purchase of the card and the first top-up is $2) for the USD card. For the FCFA bank card, the minimum top-up amount is 100 FCFA.
• For the USD card, the minimum withdrawal amount is $1, but make sure you leave at least $1 in your card for the withdrawal or payment to be successful. The PaySika FCFA debit card is linked to the PaySika account. We can therefore say that withdrawing money from the FCFA card is linked to withdrawing money from a PaySika account.
• The top-up fee for the USD card varies according to the amount. The PaySika FCFA debit card is linked to the PaySika account. The top-up complies with the requirements for a PaySika account top-up.

However, some of the functions of your FCFA bankcards can be found on your USD bankcards:

In both cases, you can block and unblock your card yourself.
Both cards are valid for 3 years.
In both cases, your data is encrypted and cannot be hacked. But you can of course see your card details without any problem.
