Pyypl has the best rates, followed by klasha for now.

As at today, these are the rates for the different providers I have personally tried myself. I tried them both on Alexpress app and the web version of aliexpress to be sure, since some cards don't work on the app for the first time.

CashEx:
Conversion To USD: 1 USD = N742
Conversion From USD: 1 USD = N734
They Charge $1 for transactions btw $0-$50, $1.5 for transactions btw $51-$100, $2+0.5% for transactions over $100
They Charge $2 for deposits, first deposit per month is free.

Chippercash:
Using dollar card, rate - 765/$
On apple payment using dollar card, an additional conversion rate charged is 448.5/$ after previous dollar rate charge, because Apple charges in Naira. I am thinking the solution is to use the naira card on the Apple payment since the charge from Apple is in Naira but I don't know if it will work because haven't tried it yet.

Klasha:
751.11/$ with a minimum first card balance of 5$, no hidden charges for both deposits and transactions.

Kudiwave:
774/$ but doesn't work on Aliexpress.

Tribapay dollar mastercard:
770/$, minimum balance - $2, has other charges, i don't want to talk much since it is expensive already compared to others.

Grey:
Dollar card rate - 770/$, so high, won't talk much mbok.

Gomoney:
Owned by Sterling Bank, Discontinued, stopped working on international transactions.

Gotok:
It has not worked from my end as at today, some people have said it worked for them, me it has never since i created and funded the account weeks ago.

Pyypl:
748$ above. I topped up the dollar from my binance account, top up your binance by p2p. The Master dollarcard works flawlessly for aliexpress, hidden charge of 2% for international purchase (say from aliexpress) which is very small. Means if you order an item worth $10 you will be charged 2% of $10 which is like $0.2. No withdrawal charges, same amount when you withdraw to your binance, not tried but am sure.

Spendwise.ng:
Dollar card rate - 771/$, high, no further analysis.

After practically opening, and trying these several accounts, the above is my analysis.

Please if you have any cheaper or better idea, do let us know. I hope this my little info helps.

I used Bitmama virtual dollar mastercard. You can also request for a physical card dollar card using the app. You can fund it directly with USDT from your crypto wallet (I transferred USDT from my Binance account to Bitmama)

Charges:

* 1.5% card funding charge
* $0.42 maintenance charge
* No transaction charges

Let's say you want to buy something worth $100 on AliExpress, you will have to deposit approximately 102 USDT on Bitmama.
i.e.
100 + (1.5% x 100) + 0.42 = $101.92

Verification can be a hassle angry

ID and address verification is needed before you can request for the card

For address verification, I didn't have utility bill so I used my GTB bank statement.

The app doesn't support uploading of pdf files for address verification, so I converted GTB account statement pdf file to image file using another app before uploading. The statement period has to be very short (1 or 2 days) so that everything can fit in a single page.

Your bank? Which bank still allows international transaction? Are you using a Dollar Card? If not, none works anymore as they've all invested hugely in the fintech market.

The size is not up to 2tb turning to 32g. The customers that bought the product and have actually used it are seriously complaining bitterly in the review.
Dunno know why AliExpress are allowing them or are they not aware?

When you buy from Aliexpress (in dollars) using Dollar cards from commercial banks in Nigeria, there is no special charges. The total cost of your item is exactly what will be deducted from your dollar card.

What you're supposed to be concerned with is, how much you bought the dollars from the black market.

The problem with the GT card is the 10usd surcharge on card issuance. I think that's on the high side. Although I heard that UBA is worse sef with 20usd as annual surcharge.

Then the problem of going to Aboki physically and also walking into the bank to physically deposit OTC may be undesirable for some, even though you may end up buying from Aboki at around 745 naira as at today versus 771 naira for some of these online apps.

Nonetheless,the ease of just fund transfer from your own bank on your phone and subsequently having a loaded virtual dollar card usable anywhere is a comfort one might not mind sacrificing physical dollar card for.

Using bank dollar card is far better in terms of security. Nairalanders, don't Put too much money into all these virtual card, the operators of these fintech company can disappear with your money. Most don't have traceable address. Just transfer the amount you need for your online purchase convert to dollar and use, leave nothing in your wallet. Nothing stays long in this country again no matter how reliable they claim?!!

Lol. You'd need to create a dollar Card from apps owned by fintech companies like Kasha, Geegpay dot Africa, Chipper Cash, Grey dot co, etc. You'd need to do your research, choose one, sign up and create the card.

8tb or 8gb? If 8tb, Did you test it? Please don't rely on what size is being displayed on your pc, you have to actually test the capacity

If its like 500gb that has been edited to say 8tb, you can continue copying files under 500gb. If you copy files over 500gb, it will copy but files above 500gb will display 0.00 Byte after copying. Use h2testw to determine actually capacity

Well, @ bolded is what I do. It was only during the days of Barter that I comfortsbky left so much saved there in dollars and I made profit when I cashed out in naira upon discontinuation of the platform.

Ever since Raven showed me shege last year and it dawned on me that theor only contact was online as they had no physical address, I have learnt to fund online wallets only as needed.

That annual surcharge is the main ish, else this physical cards from main banks are cooler.


You can always fund your UBA Prepaid Dollar Cards online, just look for a good vendor, I am one o just incase, it's fast and easy..

Both Zenith and GTBanks Prepaid Dollar Cards can also be funded oo, but it's not instant cos I'll have to go to the bank to deposit the dollars.

1. The error is yours, hence, not sure the seller will go through with his words.

2. If you follow seller's advice:
a) if you select 'you don't want it anymore', return charge will be on you, even if the item is eligible for free return.
b) you'll be asked to provide the courier used and the tracking number for the return. It'll automatically enter their tracking page. I don't know if AliExpress will monitor the tracking but you'll definitely be at the mercy of seller confirming receipt of package.

3. My take is, order the weight you need. If your incomings are via Speedaf, don't receive them and you'll get your refund later....it might just take a little while.
Thank you so much. Even though stupid me have done as the seller suggested. I really appreciate.

I do not understand num 3 sir
