Mine is a GTB dollar account, not domiciliary. The fee is ten dollars per year and you only need bvn, photograph and id card to open it.

Gbagura:
Does the dollar account comes with a dollar card? What's the difference between a Dom and a dollar account with gtbank? Thanks baami, ba i sí

Olamak1:


You can't operate domiciliary account in a bank unless you're an existing customer of such bank. But Prepaid dollar card is issued to interested persons whether they're already customers of the issuing bank or not. An account number (written on the card) is usually attached to the card. This is the number you use when depositing dollar into the card.
For instance, I went to UBA last year to request for dollar card, and in less than 2hrs, without submitting any documents and filling any account-opening forms, I picked up the card ( Mind you, I don't have account with UBA, even up till now). If I had requested for domiciliary account, then I would have been told to open current account first.....

Broskyjames:
$8 for card creation and initial deposit. A bit steep imo.

Broskyjames:
No i wasn't given. They just ask for my acc number with them and that was all. The guy basically just filled in the form, verified my BVN and told me to wait for a text with the account number.

Please, how will you be funding the dollar card? Will you have to buy at black market or CBN rate?

Psalmspsalms:
Good afternoon everyone. Please can I make purchases on AliExpress using my chipper cash virtual card?

Reports reaching Nairametrics indicate the Central bank has given commercial banks and dealers in the forex market the green light to sell forex freely which is at a market-determined rate.

This is in line with the promise of President Bola Tinubu to unify the multiple exchange rate in the market.

The initial understanding of this message is that banks can now sell forex at market-determined rates, suggesting Nigeria is now operating a freely floating exchange rate.

Nairametrics confirmed this from multiple sources at the central bank and from traders with knowledge of the matter.

What I got after funding, I just fund right now


Wanted to send my money back and got this response

Broskyjames:
Exactly!.. It's basically the same KYC!, No need for an extra documentation, i doubt some of the CC reps finish the courses before they mount PC and be answering "Customer Care".

Babalegba:
The cashier told me I would not be able to transfer into it but people on this board have told me that she was wrong as they were able to transfer into it. I did not pay upfront and they deducted from my first dollar deposit which was very annoying at the time. There are no transaction fees,all you pay is the annual fee.

Nipost now charges 1k for pick up

You'll need to. When I opened Dom account last year, I was asked to fill a new form and 2 guarantors. Mind you, I have savings and current accounts with them since 2009.

icon91:



What does this news mean for a common/lay man??

Both in short/long term, better days or more pending doom??

Those that understand this Fx & all these economy stuff very well should throw more light on this issue so that man will know his stance well & get prepared for what's coming

dipson4:


Your package eventually arrived?
Did they call you or you went there?

ganie:

All my packages have arrived ooo....both Speedaf and Nipost.

I just picked up the Nipost today and I can say it was very fast if we go by what people have been saying here. I was called tocome pick up and it's the Nipost office inside my estate. So I was even happy to give the woman the 2k she requested for (2pcs of phone) because they came separately.

sheggsliveth:



Hello bro, please have you used this on AliExpress before? Am about funding it

IAmRoot:

ganie:

Yes, it is Lagos...this is the timeline
