Over the years and as recently as 2020, their Black Market Yakata sales have been hugely successful, outstripping sales expectations by quite a margin. So you can be certain that you are spending your money on products you can bank on and items you can trust.
But you have to hurry. This offer is only available for a little while – from November 18th to December 2nd 2021.

What’s there to not love about this year’s Black Friday on Konga?
Speaking on the promo, Cherry Eromosele, group chief marketing and communications officer, Interswitch Group, explained that the offer was introduced in acknowledgement of the cardholders’ loyalty, and to fulfil the brand’s promise to increase platforms and channels on which the card can be used.
Eromosele noted that while Verve will continue to provide innovative payment solutions to the financial community and Verve cardholders, the brand is also attentive to its cardholders’ passion and lifestyle needs and will continue to support them.
“This partnership with Konga is one that we are thrilled about because it is an opportunity to treat our loyal cardholders to discounts and gifts for shopping. The partnership also increases usage touchpoints for our cardholders to use the Verve card. We assure our cardholders that shopping this season will be seamless, convenient and secure.” she said.
