I tried to renew one of my courses yesterday through GT Bank. The dollar amount is 14$ which is about 7000 naira. However, I noticed my card was declined after so many attempts I called GTb and I was shocked that they disabled international transactions. People like me that have a website that the payment is as small as 20$ for renewals, I freelance on Upwork and we have to buy connect which are very small like 3$ per connect how on earth do I need a dollar debit card while I live and spend naira? The crazy part is most bureau the change will not sell below 50$ for you, plus the insane charges from the dollar cards. I was charged 4,189 naira for dollar card maintenance from Gtb bank that I had to run immediately to disable the card. This is a card I only spent from twice. Imagine if I kept using this card consistently how much more charges would I have been charged. The funny part is this charges are very high.
You wont be able to pay for online courses or even shop from Amazon, AliExpress or other international shops unless you own a dollar card, which requires a current account. Plus the insane charges that comes from this cards.

Why is Nigeria getting so difficult to live in. If we don't stand up and stop this crazy bank implementations now, it will be difficult when all other banks starts theirs.

How has the blockage of international transactions affected you as a Nigerian?

What other alternative can we use please.

If you freelance on upwork and you got funds there, you can move it to your gtb dom account directly or through payoneer into your gtb. Meaning that you have to go open a domiciliary account.
You then use your gtb to make your transactions.

this is not about me. But about every other person who wants to buy something as low as 10$ online. So they will have to open a Dom account, go out and find dollars, and fund their dollar account just to buy what they want. Some of these things like online courses are very cheap, some online courses are as cheap as 5$.

It's an unfortunate situation that we find ourselves.
It's just so sad, but we can we do?

pls I'm having a reference issue with my gt current account, I don't know if you can be of good heart to assist me pls as my account is currently restricted and my money stuck in the bank.

Move to better, international banks if you can afford them. Look them up and ask for their monthly fees, most often they aren't as expensive as y'all think. Yet they are very convenient and won't put you through stuff like these.
