Jumia Uganda, the online retailer is now giving you a third option; pay with your bank ATM card dubbed “Card on Delivery”. It works just like cash on delivery where you pay physical cash when the item is delivered to your premise, except this time you use your card to checkout. The Jumia delivery guy comes your product along with a Point-Of-Sale(POS) terminal similar to those you have seen in major supermarkets and restaurants. You then swipe your card on the machine, enter your PIN and if you have enough funds in your bank account, the transaction is successful. A receipt is delivered to you along with your item before the delivery guy leaves. It’s kinda like the supermarket coming to your doorstep. Jumia says they’ve partnered with Barclays for their Card on Delivery service which accepts Master card, VISA, Maestro and American Express. All charges included in the transactions depends on the card and bank you use.
