Nosh Adds $1 eSIMs and International Bill Payments for Nigerian Travelers

Nosh has widened its travel-focused services, adding eSIMs from $1 in January 2026 and international bill payments in February for users in Nigeria and Ghana.
The move targets two common pain points for Nigerian travelers abroad: bank-card restrictions on foreign payments and delays getting mobile data on arrival.
Nosh says users can pay airtime, data and utilities in naira or cedis, while its eSIMs offer local, regional and global coverage across more than 136 countries.
Company usage trends show demand for both services has risen steadily over the past five months, with hundreds of eSIM purchases and cross-border bill payments already processed.
The expansion tracks a wider travel-fintech shift as more than 85% of travelers use digital payments and global travel eSIM users are projected to jump from 40 million in 2024 to 215 million by 2028.
