If you use Zoom for online meetings, webinars, or virtual events, you know the value of Zoom’s paid plans. It offers extended meeting times, cloud storage, and advanced controls. But unfortunately, Nigerian users can’t pay for Zoom subscriptions because Naira cards get declined.
That’s where Swyftpay comes in. With Swyftpay’s virtual USD card, you can easily pay for Zoom plans from Nigeria without getting that “Payment Failed” notification.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to pay for Zoom subscriptions in Nigeria.
What You Need To Pay For Zoom Subscriptions In Nigeria
Before we walk you through the step-by-step process of paying for your Zoom subscription in Nigeria, make sure you have these things ready:

- A Swyftpay Virtual USD Card
Swyftpay has two virtual USD cards available to you — a Permanent USD card or a Flashcard.

Fund your USD virtual card with enough to cover both your Zoom subscription plan and any additional fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why Is My Nigerian Card Not Working For Zoom Payments?
Nigerian bank cards frequently fail for Zoom subscriptions due to CBN regulatory restrictions on international USD payments. Using a virtual USD card from providers like SwyftPay helps you pay smoothly for Zoom plans from Nigeria.
2. Can I Share My Zoom Subscription Payment With Others In Nigeria?
Yes, you can share your Zoom subscriptions with others in Nigeria. However, you will need a Zoom Pro or Business plan that offers multi-license options where you can add users under a single billing account (with a charge for each additional user).
3. Can I Purchase Zoom For 1 Month Only?
Yes, Zoom Subscription plans can be billed monthly or annually, so you can go for whichever option best fits your needs. You should use the Swyftpay Flashcards to make these payments. They expire after a month, helping you make purchases without having to worry about auto-renewals and unexpected debits.
4. How Can I Cancel My Zoom Subscription From Nigeria?
To cancel your Zoom subscription, simply log into Zoom, click on “Accounts,” and go to the “Plans & Billing” section, click on “Plan management,” and proceed to Cancel Subscription.
If you’re on a monthly plan, you will have access to the service until the end of the current billing cycle. And if you’re on an annual plan, you might be eligible for a refund based on the Zoom refund policy, but this varies depending on when you cancel.
