The money is definitely with the bank - I can speak for GTB and Zenith - They already sent mails out to the Relationship Officers of beneficiaries.

The relationship officers might delay in relaying the info to you.

However for other banks since the wire transfer was done via SWIFT, they definitely have the funds.

So please go to your bank tomorrow morning.

You might be required to fill a form ( Proof Of Funds ).

You can print out the mails/docs from deloitte.

I don't have Euro account , so am settling for the banks rate.

Congrats again.

The mail that indicates you were successful/shortlisted for the grant and also your acceptance offer letter.


Just in case your bank asks.

are you using GTbank?
Re: Facebook's N500m Grants Programme For Smbs - Updates by spiceeamiee(f): 9:25pm On Nov 26, 2020
We would be losing close to a 100k using CBN rate. Wished this was paid in USD. Would have been much better.

Go to the bank and ask for your account officer and ask him. My account officer called me to let me know. I want to explore all possible options before either asking them to open an Euro dorm account or ask them to convert it.

Since I have started reading comments, this is the only helpful and detailed comment I have seen.
People just keep giving half information e.g those acknowledging they’ve received it. They all failed to mention the name of their banks- atleast that way others will know the banks that have processed for real and have a clear path on how to go about the challenge- just instructions of “go to your bank” if you got email notifications or got called to be informed please state it clearly with the name of your bank included. If we want to be helpful let’s be helpful to the core. I called my Relationship Officer (GTbank) but he kept giving me reasons why it should drop without an protocol since I have all the dorm accounts ($,€,£,¥). But some people here claimed that Gtbank and Zenith bank have paid (or paying). I don’t know what to believe. Gists here reminds me to always trust my google map for directions other than listening to someone telling me take your right, turn left, walk straight

Lmao. People claimed? Na wa o. So I will come and lie that Facebook paid me if they did not when we have all been here on this thread anticipating the money? And if you read my first payment post you will see where I clearly mentioned Zenith. The other person that confirmed mentioned GTBank. I also clearly stated that my bank called me so what other information do you want? Na wa

If the bank converts with CBN rate it's about 395k but using black market rate is about 480k. Thing is you can't withdraw it over the counter so you can't even sell it to Aboki sef. Na to use either bank rate or just leave it in a dom account.

Just called my Account officer at Access Bank and she told me that nothing has dropped. That if actually it has they will notify her and she will definitely get in touch with me. So to all Access Bank Users please take note. Thank you

Please what other options do we have to convert this money besides CBN rate? My AO told me I cannot withdraw it over the counter to sell and using the CBN rate will give 395k. Is there any other way to go about this?

Please those that have received fund in their banks. Did you get emails from Deloitte to that effect?

And again, what about the Ads Credit; did you confirm yet if your Ads account has been credited?

You can't transfer from dorm account so the money is going to stay there until CBN changes the rules but for now, you can't transfer or withdraw from dorm account.

Re: Facebook's N500m Grants Programme For Smbs - Updates by spiceeamiee(f): 12:45pm On Nov 27, 2020
CBN policies. You can't transfer or withdraw from dorm accounts. This has been on for over 4months now.
