FAAN Unveils 70,000 Digital Payment Cards to Strengthen Cashless Systems at Airports

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the issuance of 70,000 digital payment cards as part of its strategy to enhance the cashless transaction system at airports across the country. This new initiative aims to streamline airport operations and improve the efficiency of services.

The move, designed to cater to both domestic and international passengers, will reduce reliance on cash transactions, making processes such as check-ins, baggage services, and flight bookings more efficient and secure. The cards will be accepted at multiple payment points within the airport, including lounges and service desks.

With the growing emphasis on reducing physical cash exchanges, FAAN is working to align Nigeria’s airports with global best practices, ensuring smoother travel experiences. Officials believe this step will also contribute to improving the safety and security of travelers and airport staff.
