Please, my fellow bloggers and digital marketers, I have a serious question to ask because I am very angry right now.

One of my partners sent a little dollar to my account through wire transfer on the 23rd of this month, on getting to my account I saw that $25 dollar was deducted from the money.

I contacted the sender and he told me that they send the exact amount which they also sent me the receipt, now I had to contact my bank (GTB) and they said that it's offshore charges and that it's a new law from CBN.

Please I am still confused right now, why will CBN issue such a law?

Please share your experience if you have ever experienced something like that before because it also means that Google Adsense payment might be deducted too

Gtb is all shades of useless and lootery.

I use union Bank and i don't get debited like this for charges. Even though AdSense payment comes in it regularly.
change your bank sir.

This is the first time am seeing this, imagine paying $25 for every money received in USD, that's equivalent of paying 12000

There is always offshore charge for wire transfers.

Usually, the sender bears the charge. I'm guessing this particular sender opted that the "beneficiary bears offshore charge", thus you were charged.

It has always been 25usd.
Next time, ask questions or you use Western Union to receive your money

Let me educate you a little. There is something called offshore charge when doing a wire transfer. When i do a wire transfer from Nigeria, i pay the offshore charge so that the receiver will get the same amount expected. I cam equally request that the receiver be billed the offshore charges. The same happens when doing a wire transfer from abroad. In your case, the sender ticked the checkbox that the offshore charge should be paid by you. Simple and short. As for the Adsense guy, check your payment history, you will see that you are paying full charge for the wire transfer from your adsense account.

Most Nigerian Banks are Rippers....though they (GTB) have a fast transaction process....
@OP what kind of account do you run in GTB.

Try upgrade or talk to your account officer for a much less tax induced account if you must keep using the said account for your transactions!
Howbeit you can open a gateway serviced accounts for ZERO FEE charges on foreign currency transactions.

My 2cent.
