DM if you need your money paid to any account abroad. Cash and inflow.

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".

This.

He sent exact amount, but chose the option for you to bear the charge.

They have been charging this for a long time. Try doing a foreign transfer. You pay offshore charge, VAT, Telex charge and commission. FOUR charges!

Your sender refused to pay any charges, hence you were charged instead.

There's always an option for who pays the charges for Correspondence bank.

25usd/equivalent is the flat charge across board.

Tell your remitter to pay you the balance and move on.

It's $25. It's called overseas bank charges. I don't know if it is from CBN. I was charged that amount for making school fees payment in addition to other charges. seems like any FX transfer will incur that charge

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

It is called offshore charges, if you send to abroad, one will have to pay. Apart from the $25, you will pay 0.01% of the amonut plus N6000, if you are sending from Nigeria. Almost all banks charge these.

Very simple thing, the sender paid the exact money to receiver without paying international transfer charges. Hence, receiver bears the cost.

Offshore charges have been in existence as long as I know. The sender normally bears the fees and that has to be clearly stated on the transfer instruction. When the sender silent about it, its applied on the value of the transfer which is what probably occurred in your case @OP.

This is the more reason why we should embrace Crypto!

I used to spend mad amount of money on transfer charges to my UK account; commission, VAT, telex charge ... until i found a loop hole

I registered my Binance account using a UK number and used my UK address and ID to open it

I buy GBP on Binance and send this straight to my UK account for a fee of 1.5 GBP only.

In a future where the use of Blockchain and crypto becomes more common, we will see lower charges bypassing these Banks that love to profit excessively!!!

Gtb deducted N435 from my account yesterday. I've been gyming since morning, cuz I'm going for them by 3pm. If they fail to satisfy me with xplanation, those Men in Black may have to separate our fight in the bank.
Nonsense!

In the case of CBN promo, only funds received via International Money transfer operators like Western union, etc are eligible.

Wire transfers is directly from sender's bank account to beneficiary bank through their correspondence bank

$25 charge for wire transfer is pretty standard for US banks.

But if you're saying that the Nigerian bank deducted the money then I don't understand that.

I often wire money to myself from US bank to my GTB dom account. They always remove something from the total transfer. I took it up with them and they couldn't give me a good explanation. I later found out that Access bank doesn't remove any charges, I have been using Access since then for my wire transfers since then. I don't think it's any CBN rule. At first they blamed my bank in the US, I called my bank and I was told that's not true. They then tried to blame it on the intermediary bank. I just stopped using my GTB dom account.
Still love GTB but no more wire transfer to my dom account.
