To cut the story short, I need to send money to someone who is not in Nigeria. I've been to over 20 banks they all say they've exceeded their outbound limit of western union, RIA and money gram.

What do I do?

Bitcoin? The person is not tech savvy.

Talk to your accounts officer. They haven't exceeded any limit, they have reserved the foreign money for special customers. You could also pay the money to your alternative account and send the ATM CARD to the person in that country so they can withdraw the money using your card. That's what I did anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply. Please what's an alternative account.

Also my brother works in the bank, he said there's a new CBN policy that you must have 16 inbound transaction for 1 outbound transaction. And they already have over 100 people on the waiting list

An alternative account is when you have more than one bank account. For example, you have accounts with GTB, UBA and FCMB. GTB could be the one you use the most and the others are just accounts you opened because one fine girl came to you as a marketer to open account. Now you might now have lots of cash in the other two accounts because you don't use them often so if you transfer the money that you want to send to this account and spend the ATM card to the person by DHL, then they can use the card you send to withdraw. I know GTB reduced their oversea spending limit to 100 dollars a while ago, I don't know if they have reverted it.

I know that waiting list is protocol but these bankers know how to send money without following the waiting list protocol.

That person will be stranded the same way I am stranded.

No withdrawals on foreign ATM with Nigerian Debit Cards. At least, I'm sure of GTB and First Bank.

I am having the same problem as Op. Pls who knows how to deposit into neteller account. ATM method is not working.

O boi!

I have 3 different bank cards here in Nairobi but no withdrawal!

Your person there should look out for Nigerians who wants Naira back home that is how many Nigerians in Kenya are coping.

What of using Paypal or Skrill, those ones are not as 'esoteric' as bitcoin to a non-techy user, and you could easily give them instructions on how to sign up, and then send the money to them through that.

But you'll need to find out whether they can receive Paypal/Skrill payments in Ethiopia though.

I was going to use Skrill, then he told me Internet has been blocked in Ethiopia.

It's year 2016 and governments can still wake up and block people's Internet.

I told him to go to the embassy so they'll advice him on what to do.
