Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by HardMirror(m): 5:48am On Nov 22, 2022
I went to a Wema bank branch yesterday to withdraw from my Domicillary account, but i was told they have stopped giving dollars. I wanted to make transfer and they said that was also impossible.

Who else is facing this challenge?

Note i still was able to withdraw last week. Could this be from CBN?

This government is so messed up and every of their policies has always been in line to exterminate the common man. Right from closing up the borders which lead to an unimaginable hunger all round to realising terrorist back into the society which lead to worsening insecurity to numerous financial jargons.

You send money to an account the sender pay charges while you as the recipient also pay, all of a sudden they stopped direct international transfers to local accounts saying you have to go and get your dollars by hand and now they are saying you can't get the Dollar again so what do they expect people to do now

You should be able to withdraw or transfer. Possibly maybe wema bank has issues. So, what did they expect you to do with the money? Are they forcing you to sell at NIFEX rate or dash them? Atleast there should be an option unless your account has issues

That is laughable. Highly ridiculous. I can still tell you that; it is either your branch has an issue or something is wrong with Wema bank. Why won't they give you access to your account. Try to make an official report. If the branch said they don't have USD, that is acceptable but also denying you transfer is highly ridiculous.

Try to find an importer that needs USD, agree terms wity each other and then submit form m

the issue is from your bank. I sent about 250 usd to dedipath and digital ocean to clear pending server payment and the transaction was smooth without any issue.

This is half baked truth. No bank will deny a transfer for the reasons you stated, after all it's electronic money.
What if you had opened your online banking app and done the transfer? Will the bank stop and reverse it?
You probably did not listen well or you're just spewing false claims. People still withdraw money over the counter

It's terrible. I've been trying to make a $100 payment but cannot because they've placed a miserable $20 limit on my naira account. For the USD account, they're saying they have no card for now. GTB is near useless.

Nigeria is not making enough dollars.

Of the dollars we make, most of it goes to pay off our debts, or to pay for imported fuel and the subsidy we pay on it.

That's why when voting...if your candidate does not have a plan to get us off oyel....don't vote for them (Especially APC).

Truth, they've stopped giving it. I was in a union Bank head branch in ibadan two weeks ago and I asked to withdraw dollars too, instead they asked me to go to bureau de change to withdraw it that they don't have. I wonder why I keep a dollar account sef this days

Naija is a crazy place.... why would you not be able to withdraw the same dollars you deposited in cash?

That's why investors will be uncomfortable bringing funds to Nigeria as your funds could be trapped.
