What bank card still works on Aliexpress?
Does GTB, UBA and Stanbic still working?

Zenith Bank Master Card still working too

Encitee3991:
Will have to get one too.
What's the requirements, identity card, passport photograph, etc.

Means of identification and utility bill. I made use of NIMC and current Nepa bill. They didn't ask for passport photograph, only BVN.

What are the requirements to open prepaid dollar account?

Does the deposit have to be in dollar or can u pay equivalent in naira?

Can international transactions beyond the 20$ limit?

The requirements here was only to have an account with them. Yes, all deposits have to be in dollars, and you can make transactions of even up to $1000

How long does it take to get the GTBANK dorm account and GTBank dollar master card

The GT bank prepaid dollar card took me 2 days. The first day to open an account and th second day to request for the card, which was handed over in an hour.

Praise God, I finally opened the UBA domiciliary savings account today. I checked another UBA branch, and they old required my passport to open the account. However, the customer care staff told me that I can't fund the account from the counter, that I can only receive funds with it. She also told me that when I make a total transaction of up to $2000, the account will be frozen, and I will need to upgrade the account to a full domiciliary account. For that I will need an ID, NEPA bill, 2 current account references from UBA, and nothing else.

Which one is better between Dom and prepaid dollar account?

PREPAID DOLLAR CARD IS DIFFERENT FROM DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT CARD.
Let me explain as much as I can.
Domiciliary account is an account you open in a bank for foreign currencies and you can get an ATM card for it. When you get an ATM card for it, the funds in your Dom account can be accessed through the card when u want to make payments via card.
Now to PREPAID DOLLAR CARD, this is a stand alone card that is not linked to any bank account. For you to use it, You need to pay in physical Dollars over the counter at the bank. You can also ask someone who has a Dollar prepaid card to sell you funds, he can transfer from his card to yours ; I use UBA Prepaid Dollar card and this is the method i use to fund my card 99% of the times(see the screenshot attached).

Now to make the distinction very clear, lets assume you have a UBA dollar prepaid card and you also have a UBA dom account,
1. YOU CANNOT USE YOUR DOLLAR PREPAID CARD TO ACCESSS FUNDS IN YOUR DOM ACCOUNT!!!
2. YOU CANNOT TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR DOMICILARY ACCOUNT TO YOUR DOLLAR PREPAID CARD!!!
The 2 are completely different and are not linked in any way.

I have UBA, Zenith bank and Access domiciliary accounts, ATM cards linked to the Dom accounts and dollar Prepaid cards for each bank.
Of all, UBA is the easiest to get.
To open a dorm account or get a dollar prepaid card with UBA all u need are:
1. Means of identification: NIN, Voters card, Drivers Lincense or Intl Passport
2. Utility bill
3. A passport photograph
That is all!!!
And you must make a deposit of atleast $5 as initial deposit (just buy from a Mallam close to you).
They dont ask for referees or any of those long process.
However, I have one issue with their Dom account, YOU CANNOT TRANSFER FROM YOUR DOM ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER DOM ACCOUNT.
Access allows me to transfer from my Dom account to another Access Dom account ( I av not tried transfering to another bank's Dom account before).

I hope this ends the confusion, Domicilary account ATM is not the same as a PREPAID DOLLAR CARD! They can both be used for international purchases but they are not the same.

This should answer you. For me, I prefer the prepaid dollar account, since it houses my AliExpress discount

My zenith card not working on AliExpress. Is this general?

Tried zenith MC, didn't work

No, Singapore post which is handled by nipost is also AliExpress standard shipping. You get about ninety percent chance of getting speedaf though when you choose AliExpress standard shipping.

Qsand:
25th of this month will mark 30 days of my package being in speedaf warehouse. I've tried severally calling the number attached to the mail to do door delivery for me since their warehouse is super far from my location. The number never picks or is always switched off. What do I do please

Best is to visit the office address to pickup.

Custom should stop this delays abeg

ItsTutsi:
Can both 1k for card issuance and 4k maintenance be paid in naira, or does it have to be in dollar?

Which one do u recommend for international transaction between prepaid dollar and domiciliary account?

It was 10 dollars for the card maintenance. 4k ish was the naira equivalent i paid in.
I only have dom account and i can send money to and from the card to the account easily because i also receive some inflow. I get the same Aliexpress discounts
