What is the Giftcard Service?

Mabro lets you trade giftcards in both directions. Sell a giftcard you already have and the naira value is credited to your Mabro wallet, or buy a giftcard you need and pay for it from the same wallet.

If you have ever searched for "sell giftcard", "giftcard to naira rate" or "where to sell Amazon gift card in Nigeria", this is that service — but with the rate shown to you before you commit, and no stranger to negotiate with.

Sell a giftcard for naira

The usual route for selling a giftcard in Nigeria is to hand the code to a buyer in a WhatsApp group and hope the transfer lands. If it does not, there is no one to appeal to — the code is already spent.

On Mabro you sell the card to Mabro. You pick the card type, enter the details, the app shows you the rate and the naira you will receive, and you confirm with your 6-digit PIN. The naira is credited to your Mabro wallet.

Buy a giftcard

Mabro also sells giftcards. If you need an iTunes, Amazon, Steam or Google Play card, you can buy it from your Mabro wallet instead of hunting for a seller. Fund the wallet from any Nigerian bank, buy the card, and the details are delivered in the app.

What the rate depends on

A giftcard's naira value is not one number for all cards. It depends on the card brand and the face value, because demand differs by card type — a popular card is worth more to us than an obscure one, and larger denominations usually get a better rate than small ones.

That is why Mabro does not publish a single headline rate. Selecting your card in the app shows the rate that actually applies to it, before you commit.

How to trade a giftcard, step by step

  1. Open the App

    Launch Mabro and choose Giftcards from the home screen.

  2. Buy or Sell

    Pick the card brand from the list, then choose whether you are buying or selling.

  3. See the Rate

    The rate for that card is shown before you commit, together with the naira you will receive or pay.

  4. Confirm with Your PIN

    Review the details and confirm with your 6-digit transaction PIN.

  5. Done

    Selling credits your Mabro wallet; buying delivers the card and debits the wallet.

Where the money goes

Selling a giftcard credits your Mabro wallet, not your bank account directly. From the wallet you can pay bills, buy airtime or data, make transfers, or move the balance to your own bank whenever you choose.
