How Students Can Use MoniCard for Online Learning & Subscriptions

How Students Can Use MoniCard for Online Learning & Subscriptions

For many students in Africa, the dream of learning online or accessing global digital resources often runs into one big roadblock: payments. Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, Grammarly, Canva, and even Zoom require international cards that most local banks don’t provide.

This is exactly where MoniCard’s virtual cards make the difference. With MoniCard, students in Cameroon and across Africa can access e-learning tools, pay for subscriptions, and unlock knowledge — without worrying about payment rejections.

The Challenges Students Face

Limited Access to Bank Cards
Many students don’t have access to traditional debit or credit cards that work globally.

Mobile Money Restrictions
MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money are great for local use, but they often don’t connect directly to global platforms.

High Costs & Hidden Fees
Banks charge high fees for international transactions, making it expensive for students to pay for courses or subscriptions.

How MoniCard Solves the Problem
