Most of you already have cash in the bank. When you want to pay for goods and services, you have about two options; withdraw the cash from an ATM or from the banking hall and then pay the vendor physical cash. Or you could pay with mobile money if you have enough money in your mobile wallet and if the merchant accepts Mobile Payments.

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.

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.
