I just realized that all the foreign currency transfer companies do not serve senders from Nigeria to the overseas. What could be the cause of this? I've always been receiving money from abroad but I had no idea I couldn't do it from here unless I go to the bank. Who knows if Nigerian banks will even let somebody send money abroad? I wanted to avoid going straight to the bank because I expect they'll charge exorbitant fees. I want to buy something from a US company that only accepts wire transfers only to find out that companies like Transfer Wise, World Remit, XE, etc. do not transfer from Nigeria to the USA. Any advice for me?

What bank are you using. Standard Chartered allows any currency

All commercial banks do wire transfer from Nigeria to any country in the world.

Used to be restricted but it's open now based on the new fx regulations

My point is you can't make online transfers without using your bank directly. I'm talking about forex platforms like transferwise.com and worldremit.com.

EXOUSIAng:

Tried using TransferWise, WorldRemit and the others. No show.

Of course they do. But My point is you can't make online transfers without using your bank directly. I'm talking about forex platforms like transferwise.com and worldremit.com.

1. From the bolded, it shows your question/point is ambiguous.
2. Just so you know, those platforms you mentioned are not fully licensed by CBN hence they might not be able to provide such service.
3. Furthermore, all Nigeria commercial banks offer online FX wire transfers (if that's your concern).

On a final note, always ensure to put out your statement, points and/or enquiries clearly.

Sorry sir to digress, just saw your coaster buses for sale post from July are they still available ? It yes where can I come and inspect them

Yes sir, 6 units still available out of 30 units brought in.

They are all 4 plugs, petrol engine, 30-seats, fully air-conditioned Tokunbo from 2008 to 2010 models.

All parked at Ikeja Lagos.

08188631785 for calls and WhatsApp.

About $150

Latini02:


Some platform do allow depending on the amount involved. How much is involved? Let's start from there.

Thanks for your response. I did go to my bank today and they told me I can't make international wire transfers from a personal bank account to a business account abroad. I guess that's another bottleneck.

fucking C.b.n new policy.. i can receive direct wire to my bank account from us no more. am still finding a way to sort this

That should work but I don't know how we can go about that.

Latini02:

Oh too small. Most platforms starts from $500 and above. Alternatively, what of if i use my GTB dollar business account to do it for you, will you be okay with that?

Why not? You should be able to receive direct wire transfers to your bank account in Nigeria.

see Miss OP, all these is long story, you can wire them the money asap. Beside 150$ is too small for the case of wire transfer. Buy bitcoin let the person you are paying open bitcoin wallet too. Wire payment in bitcoin if they not ready let them forget the money . That's all case close..even the people making payments From abroad to nigeria uses bitcoin payment method
I can help you out on how to make bitcoin payment

TransferWise still works. Received money with it just recently. You just can't send from here, that's the problem.

Naviystiles:

Not every business uses bitcoin payment. Besides, if I need to, I can pretty much handle that one myself. Nothing difficult there.

not every WTF.. let them upgrade, Btc is the future currency. u are taking this payment so personal, anyway enjoy the stress

Well, you won't understand why. Bitcoin is the future? When that time comes. Not today. And for your info. I have a bitcoin wallet already.

This is not true with all banks, I still transferred from my personal bank account to Copart USA on Friday.

MaryJane24:
About $150

Perhaps the amount is too small though (I am not sure).

Can you get the foreign company to split the $150 in two for you, so you can use your MasterCard and/or Visa bank card to pay online (knowing $100 limit per month per card).

Whois:
The op is right

Your attachment is completely different from what the OP is saying.

Thanks. This is a very good idea. Unfortunately, the receiver is rather strict on how they structure their payment system. Anything debit or credit cards are restricted to their US and Canada customers.

Anything debit or credit cards are restricted to their US and Canada customers. I think you're right about the small wire transfer amount. I'm sure even your bank will decline to transfer $150 from your personal account to a business account in the US. The thing just tire me.
