Thursday evening, the bank, which is one of the biggest in the country,
said its debit and prepaid cards are now restricted from carrying out
such transactions.
“We

Bank’s debit and prepaid cards from carrying out transactions with
merchants that are transacting on the following business categories;

“This
has become necessary with the increased need to protect our customers

the bank said.
