The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has taken a significant step toward a cashless economy by introducing four digital payment options for airport access gates across the nation. This initiative, dubbed 'Operation Go Cashless,' aims to streamline processes and reduce the reliance on cash transactions, aligning with Nigeria's broader monetary policy goals. With the introduction of these payment options, FAAN hopes to facilitate a smoother entry experience for travelers while modernizing airport operations.

The four available payment methods cater to different user needs, enhancing convenience and efficiency. The 'FAAN Go Cashless Card' offers the quickest and most seamless encounter, while the 'E-Tag' caters to frequent users by allowing automatic deductions without the need to stop. Additionally, a 'VIP Sticker' is available for authorized vehicles needing approved access at airports. For those preferring traditional means, ATM and debit cards can be utilized on-site via point-of-sale (POS) systems, although processing times may vary depending on the banking network.

As FAAN promotes these options through announcements and accessible services, it emphasizes the importance of obtaining these cards at their commercial offices and designated access points. This strategic shift not only aligns with global trends towards cashless transactions but also aims to enhance user experience and operational efficiency at Nigerian airports, showcasing a commitment to modernization in the aviation sector.
