Shop globally without card declines. With the Bitnob Virtual Dollar Card, pay for subscriptions, ads, and online purchases instantly and stress-free.
Online shopping has evolved from what it used to be. It’s no longer about convenience, it’s a lifestyle. From paying for Canva or Netflix, to grabbing discounts on AliExpress, or ordering something special from that website that doesn’t even ship to your country, Africa’s digital shoppers are more global than ever.
Yet, there’s a common frustration that keeps breaking the flow: your local bank card gets declined. You try again, still no luck. Not because you don’t have money, but because your card simply wasn’t built for global payments.
You’re not alone. According to McKinsey’s 2024 more than 60% of online buyers in Africa have experienced failed or delayed international transactions due to card restrictions, currency barriers, or cross-border limits. For anyone who shops or subscribes internationally, it’s a reminder that convenience shouldn’t be complicated.
That’s where the Bitnob Virtual Dollar Card comes in a simple, secure way to shop, pay, and subscribe on the platforms that matter to you, without the usual card drama. Whether you’re a freelancer paying for tools, a student streaming your favorite shows, or a small business owner managing ad spend, this card was made for you.
Why a Virtual Dollar Card Changes Everything
Think of it as your global pass. A card that lives inside your Bitnob app but works like any physical card, only better.

- Pay for subscriptions like Netflix, Canva, Spotify, Coursera etc without worrying about failed payments.
