Nigerian crypto exchange platform, Bitmama, has temporarily halted its virtual Mastercard services due to unforeseen issues with its provider. This move follows a trend of fintechs in Africa facing challenges with card services, including fluctuating exchange rates, chargeback fraud, and insufficient funds.
