Cardtonic has introduced a new eSIM service, expanding its fintech ecosystem with a connectivity solution now available to users in more than 140 countries. Launched in October 2025, the feature offers travellers, students, and professionals a simplified way to stay online globally without relying on physical SIM cards or international roaming.
As a leading fintech platform serving users in Nigeria and Ghana, Cardtonic is recognised for solutions that include gift card trading, bill payments, virtual dollar cards, and access to premium gadgets. The addition of eSIM capability builds on this foundation, providing a streamlined alternative for individuals who require reliable internet access while moving across borders.
And now, the brand is switching things up with the recently added eSIM service. At a time when Africans need a better way to stay connected anywhere in the world, Cardtonic has stepped up to help.
This development represents more than a feature update. It marks Cardtonic’s move to meet growing eSIM in Nigeria and across Africa, supporting a shift toward more accessible, travel-ready connectivity for everyday users.
Driving Digital Innovation Across Africa’s Fintech Ecosystem
Cardtonic’s eSIM launch represents a meaningful step forward for digital connectivity in Africa. Reliable internet access has long been a priority across the region, and the introduction of flexible, secure, and accessible eSIM options supports that ongoing progress.
The fintech brand didn’t just launch an eSIM feature. It lowered barriers to online participation. With convenient and instant eSIM activation in Nigeria and Ghana, users can now use their favourite financial apps, conduct remote business easily, and stay connected whether they are in Paris, Accra, Dubai, or New York. This eliminates the hassle of physical SIM cards, high roaming charges, and airport activation queues, giving users a simpler way to maintain seamless online access.
When users have stable, affordable internet access, the adoption of mobile banking, trading platforms, payment apps, and digital marketplaces increases. It’s safe to say that Cardtonic’s eSIM is here to strengthen digital infrastructure and boost fintech adoption in Africa and beyond.
This development reflects Cardtonic’s consistent approach to innovation in Africa’s fintech landscape. The fintech brand redefined gift card trading, bill payments, virtual dollar cards, and online shopping. Its move into eSIM services follows the same direction — shaping a more connected future for users in Nigeria and beyond.
Empowering Users With Secure, Flexible, and Future-Ready Connectivity
At Cardtonic, every new feature is built to simplify life for users, and the introduction of the eSIM service reflects that same approach. Travel already comes with enough planning and expenses; maintaining stable connectivity while abroad shouldn’t add to the stress.
Cardtonic’s eSIM ensures users can instantly get and activate an eSIM for use in any country they find themselves in. No paperwork, no stress, no queues, just a secure eSIM for their connectivity whenever they need it.
Flexibility is a core part of the service. Whether users want an eSIM for a specific country, a regional eSIM covering multiple countries, or a global eSIM that can be used in 140+ countries, the choice is theirs. Data packages are designed to remain accessible, offering practical choices without steep costs.
By introducing Cardtonic eSIM, the fintech company has eased the burden for travellers by putting reliable connectivity right in their hands.
