I’m UK based and I would like to know how I can access my funds in my Nigerian bank account?
I currently have some funds/small savings in my Nigerian Naira Bank account, Zenith Bank to be exact. I also have a Diaspora domiciliary GBP account.
Is there a way to withdraw in the UK or any other way I can access my funds?

Does anyone know how I can access my funds within the UK. Or is the only way to travel all the way to Nigeria?
Please does anyone have some ideas?

You get someone in the UK that needs Naira and you will exchange for pounds. Then you transfer naira equivalent. Please engage in f2f transaction. Which part of UK are you? you can get intouch o7565 314 537

I don’t really understand.. it doesn’t make sense.

I have Naira funds in my Zenith Nigerian bank account in Nigeria. I’m UK based.

One relative of mine is travelling to Nigeria in 2 weeks.. is there any way she could help?

That's exactly whet he's saying.
You: Hi bro. Please can you give me £1,000 and I send u it's equivalent in naira?
Your relative: Yea sure

You then use Zenith bank online app to do the transfer to his local bank account

Do you have the mobile app of your bank on your phone and can you access it?

If yes, then you're clicks away from exchanging your Naira to Pounds.

Contact Omopapa or Lexusgs430. They are tested and trusted with exchanges.

You'll send the Naira to their Naira account and they'll credit your UK Account with the equivalent pounds, after you two must have agreed on a price.

If you need further assistance on living in the UK as a Nigerian, then follow this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6719932/living-uk-life-immigrant-part-2/297

Best wishes.

Yes!

I'll suggest you speak to your account officer or bank for their advice.

My bank that I use now is not too convenient for easily sending money in different currencies to different accounts. It's mostly personal transfers, not business transactions. Maybe there is a better solution?
