You can create Payoneer Account and buy funds ($) from exchangers (cheaper than aboki rate). Payoneer will give you 4 different accounts (dollar, pounds, euro and yen). In your Payoneer, you can manage (convert) currency from a dollar to pounds, from pounds to euro, in fact, you can manage funds on all the 4 accounts Payoneer has given you. If you have a domiciliary account, you can add it and withdraw your money from Payoneer to your bank account. You can also add your UK account to your Payoneer and withdraw as long you have converted your funds in Payoneer. You can add up to 3 different bank accounts you want to use to withdraw. You can check their website for more. I have attached a few screenshots to show you what I am trying to explain.


PS: Processing withdrawal fee is 2% of funds you are withdrawing i.e $2 for $100

Hey guys I’ve been thinking lately . If we arrive Uk and open a Uk bank account
How do we transfer our funds from our Nigerian bank account to d Uk bank account ? Considering we can no longer use form A

Thanks

slimdolyin:
You can try stanbic bank but make sure you submit the FORM A at their head office in VI within 3 to 5days you will be debited.

Here goes Justwise. I'll update as necessary.

Under the new student visa rules, you can apply for your visa at most, 6 months before your course start date but you can only travel at most, 1 month before your course start date.

3. Academic evidence and documents detailed on CAS.

The money must be be kept in the account for 28 days before application; the end of the 28 days must not be older than 31 days before your application.

The only family members that can sponsor you (give you their account statement to use) are your parents or legal guardian.
If using your parents' account(s), you need your birth certificate which has your parents' name as your parents to prove your relationship to them.

If using your guardian's statement, you need to include court document appointing the person as your guardian. This guardian must have been appointed by the court when you were below 18 years.

8. Consent letter: You'll also need a letter from your parent(s) or guardian that states that they consent to you using the funds in the account for which evidence has been submitted. This is only applicable if using their bank statements. See sample here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.westminster.ac.uk/sites/default/public-files/general-documents/Example%2520of%2520parent%2520consent%2520letter.doc&ved=2ahUKEwjVuYnvs9rtAhX7UxUIHR04C3cQFjALegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw23ibrOLrlQod4FOobTdsJp

9. ATAS certificate, if your course requires it.

10. Consent letter: Under 18s will also need a consent letter from both parents or their guardian consenting to their visa application, their living arrangements in the UK and their travel to the UK. See example here (edit as required): http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=29499
