Would I be charged a fee if my Chipper NGN Card gets declined due to insufficient funds?

To avoid this fee, kindly ensure that your Chipper NGN Card is always sufficiently funded in advance to cover all your one-time and recurring (subscription) online payments.
Is my Chipper NGN Card directly connected to my Chipper Wallet?

Your Chipper Card would need to be funded from your Chipper Wallet before it can be used.

You can spend the card online anywhere cards are accepted locally (within Nigeria). This includes merchants such as Bolt, Jumia, Konga, and so on.
