The bank also issues the Platinum Naira Mastercard to serve high net-worth customers. The Platinum Naira Mastercard is a Naira denominated international debit card issued in partnership with Mastercard Worldwide, and enables transactions all over the world wherever the Mastercard logo is displayed.

The Platinum Naira Mastercard is accepted worldwide at over 29 million merchant locations and can be used for transactions over the WEB or POS as well as cash withdrawals at over 1.8 million ATMs, in over 200 countries. The card is secured by Chip & PIN technology and is issued within 15 minutes at FirstBank branches.
