It is a debit mastercard, yes it was issued by a bank. I tried 2 other cards, of which one is a visa card, and they were all declined. I discovered the problem is that the Naira cards are all restricted. They call it a DCC restriction. Which means all naira card cannot pay on appstore or any international platform.

I just want to know how does someone in Nigeria then pay on the appstore?

I believe I can't be the only one in this situation.
