Enable International Transactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a Nigerian card, this step is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most banks block <a href=\"https:\/\/evertry.co\/blog\/pay-international-services-nigeria\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foreign payments<\/a> by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your banking app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for \u201cinternational transactions.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn it on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t see it, <a href=\"https:\/\/evertry.co\/blog\/how-do-i-contact-temu\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact support.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.
