Why don't you open UBA dollar card.
I did that. You don't need any referee. As a matter of fact, you don't need to open an account with UBA. They will just open the special dollar account for you with Visa card. You can either fund it by transferring naira into it which would be converted at prevailing parallel exchange rate or you buy dollars outside and fund it.

Go to any UBA branch and tell the CC you want to open a dom advantage Account. If the CC rep asks of referees, tell him you are opting for savings domiciliary. Most of those CC reps are like robot, they mostly ask for those requirements by default.

When I wanted to open my dom acc, I visited the UBA website and found the Dom Advantage which requires no referees. However, on getting to a UBA branch, the first thing the CC rep asked for were the referees despite telling him the type of dom acc I wanted to open.

As I explained that I saw it on their website, he called another colleague who affirmed and help me to open it with just national Id, Nepa bill and a deposit of $10.

It is the acc I now use to withdraw my fund in dollar from payoneer.

This is how it works.
You make a naira transfer into it, then UBA do the approval.
If they approve it, they do the naira exchange rate at cbn rate and fund it.
The approval takes like 24 hours.
To be successful in this, we usually have uba staff who do the follow up. It is not easy.
I think max they fund the card/account is $4000 per annum if i can still remember before cbn placed a cap again on it.
Alternatively, if you can't wait for the uba/cbn approval and their wahalas, just pay in dollars into it. Shikena

Good. I think i will opt for this for my wife though the uba special dollar card does not even require a uba account nor referee.
