How To Get Access Bank American Express Credit Card In Nigeria
Credit cards offer a wide range of benefits to customers, and now, Nigerians with a bank account with Access Bank can get their own personal American Express credit card.
Most Nigerians are only familiar with debit cards, which allow you to only spend the prefunded money available in your bank account. With credit cards, on the other hand, you can spend as much as you like and pay a small interest at the end of the month to clear your spending.
In addition to the flexibility of spending more than you have, credit cards also come with the added advantage of discounts and other perks for customers who clear their debts on time.
Access Bank has partnered with American Express to launch two new consumer credit cards in Nigeria: the Access Bank American Express® Gold Card and the metal Platinum® Card. These are the first American Express Cards to be issued in Nigeria, and they offer a variety of benefits.

Alongside dual-currency functionality (NGN/USD) and international acceptance, the American Express Cards include airport lounge access, car rental perks, Membership Rewards®, loyalty points, as well as insurance and protections. On top of these features, the Platinum® Card also offers:
