Well, I am telling you what was obtainable just before the CBN banned foreign payments with Naira MasterCards entirely.

a) You receive Moneygram or Western Union: you MUST receive the cash in Naira at the official rate. In other words, the banks buy it off you at maybe N198 to $1.
b) You use your foreign cards on a Nigerian ATM. You are paid official rate or even less (Payoneer is about 193). So the banks again, have earned dollars on the cheap as the foreign banks must settle the transaction in USD.

Now it gets interesting.

a) You make a PayPal payment from Nigeria. You are billed at N283 (what UBA charged me last week of December.
b) You make a cross-border payment on a POS or website. You are billed at black market rate.

So when the Nigerian banks now have to settle the foreign merchants, they do so using your acquired dollars they got at official rate and sold to you at black market rate. So the banks are making a killing off the differential.

Until a banker comes here to counter what I have said, this is my understanding of the situation.
