Cinemas can collect payments easily with reliable alternate payment options…
The rapid growth of Nigeria’s movie culture means cinemas attract many moviegoers seeking to enjoy the latest movies on the big screen daily, leading to massive transactions.
However, with the advancement of CBN’s cashless policies and more Nigerians depending on digital payment methods for their transactions, cinemas will have to reduce their reliance on cash payments from movie lovers.
Although common challenges of digital payments, including card failure, technical interbank network issues, and delayed payment notifications, can lead to frustrations or, in the worst cases, cause loss of sales, cinemas can adopt and provide customers with reliable digital payment options.
