Opened my Dom account using voter's card with UBA. You'll need 2 references, utility bills, passport during account opening.

Nobody is cheating you here. Banks operate with the official rate of N305/$. So, if you must have your dollars converted by them, that's the going rate to be adopted. There's NO way you'll get your money converted at black market rates by the bank. And there's no way the bank will hand you dollar notes in cash, since you submitted a local bank account to Adsense.

There's only one way to have your money converted at black market rates. And that's through a domiciliary account. With that, you'd be able to withdraw your dollars in cash and convert at black market rates with any BDC operator.

The only way out now is for you to instruct your bank to decline the transaction from Adsense. The money will reflect back in your Adsense account, and Adsense will attempt to pay it again after one week, before which you should have opened a domiciliary account and submitted its details to your Adsense account. But I doubt if your bank will agree to decline that transaction.

If I were you, I'll accept my loss for now and work hard to get my domiciliary account before the next payment date. No bank will accept that national ID slip from you. When I needed my domiciliary account back then, I had to invest in getting an international passport, which cost me N27,000. That's the only widely accepted ID that you can get in one day here in Nigeria. And it has served many other purposes for me since then.

Better yet, if you have a trusted friend or relative who has a domiciliary account, you can submit their account details to your Adsense account and have your earnings sent there. But bear in mind that your access to your own money would hinge on the person's readiness to help you go to the bank for the withdrawal and, more importantly, the person's trustworthiness. So, your best bet is to get your own account ASAP.

bluntjudge:

Savings account to dorm Account?...who told you this kind lie. Dorm accounts are current accounts bros. And to open one with gtb all you need is 2 referees and a Valid ID. No need to pay any money.

H8ta:
If you do not have two referees, you can't upgrade.

ViVaMadrid:


2 referees, meaning?

Compliant:


so you dont talk just 2 people wo own just a current account to stand as referee ?

i upgraded a gtbank savings account to dom account by providing 2 access bank current account holder

In terms of prompt crediting of funds to your account, GTB rocks. As for First bank, you have to mail them sometimes before they credit your account.
