I am looking for a Bank Account which you can operate in Nigerian naira currency, while abroad/diaspora. Which is the best option as Diaspora Banking Account?
By the way I'm UK based...

Thanks, I'm checking them out now! Are they internationally recognised incase of any emergency? And is it possible to transfer to a British bank account or do you think their Domiciliary will enable that?

They offer both diaspora current account (domiciliary) and diaspora savings account (local). They are internationally recognize and I have not had any issues transferring money from my US account to the diaspora current account (domiciliary). Caveat: It takes about 2-3 business days to complete each transaction. Hope that helps!

Most Access Bank Naira and USD cards are Visacards. Works seemlessly for me in about 7 countries in the past 4 months of travels- POS Payments/ATM card withdrawals. GTbank Mater cards also fine as well.
