Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell a US-issued Greendot gift card for Naira in Nigeria?

Yes. Greendot cards issued in the United States can be sold on Cardhorse even if you are based in Nigeria. You submit the card details online, receive a Naira rate based on live market conditions, and get paid once the card is verified. You do not need to travel anywhere or find a local buyer yourself.

How is the Naira rate for a Greendot card determined?

The rate reflects current exchange conditions between the US dollar and the Naira, adjusted for the card type and denomination. Rates move with the market and are not fixed day to day. Checking the rate at the time you want to sell gives you the most accurate figure — quoting a rate from a few days ago may no longer apply.

How long does it take to receive Naira after selling a Greendot card?

Payment is processed after your card is verified. The time depends on how quickly verification is completed, which in most cases happens within a short window after submission. Having your card details accurate and complete the first time avoids delays.

What should I do if my Greendot card shows a zero balance unexpectedly?

First, check the card on the official Greendot website or by calling the number on the back of the card to confirm the balance directly. If the balance has been drained and you did not spend it, the card may have been compromised. Do not attempt to sell a card with a disputed or zero balance — contact Greendot support to report the issue first.

What are the most common scams involving Greendot gift cards in Nigeria?

The most frequent scams involve buyers who claim a card was rejected or used after you send the details, then disappear. Others involve fake payment screenshots or platforms that collect card details and never pay out. Selling only through established platforms with a verifiable track record, and never sharing card details over WhatsApp or social media with unknown buyers, significantly reduces your exposure.
