This is ATM gone bad, CBN gone Awire and banks gone
A-rugged. 2 days from now, your ATM Master card
becomes useless on foreign site and abroad. I don’t know
how this policy is going to solve the dollar to naira issue
but it getting weird every now and then.
According to CBN , before CBN will start talking
of lifting the current restriction placed on
ATM card usage abroad and foreign
transactions, that the country must build
the foreign reserve to the tune of
$50billion. At the moment, it is $29billion .
That might take a long time before it will be achieve.
I made a transaction this morning and I was charged by
GTBank N270.50 per dollar. This is the highest so far
and it’s getting worst.
I don’t really know if it will affect PayPal account
owners since your account is already verified and it’s
linked to your Master card but there are lots of alternative
you might want to try out.

ALTERNATIVES

DOLLAR MASTER CARD – Those of you making use of
GTBank, and you have a dollar account, you card just
walk into any GTBank branch closer to you and demand
for Dollar Master Card. As at my last enquiry, it’s goes
for $50. With this dollar master card, you can do
everything online, foreign site and even withraw in naira
using the local atm machine.

ZENITH WEBSURFER MASTER CARD - Websurfer is a
moderately good brand of MasterCard issued by Zenith
Bank. Websufer is not a credit card that you can use to
withdraw cash from the ATM machine. It is a low limit
card that can only be used on the internet.
Things you will have before going to the bank are:
1. One recent passport photo
2. Valid National ID Card or otherwise
3. At least $150 cash
Walk into any head Zenith bank, meet their customer
service and request for a websurfer account opening form.

PaYoneer Master Card – This card is free of
charge and anybody who live in a house, has a smartphone
and browse the internet can simply order for this card
abroad for free. It will be deliver to your location
maximum 3weeks so long its not in Sambisa Forest.

OP , you are actually advertising payoneer


anyways , the thing is until the economy stabilizes for a bit , it's going to be hard to use any of your methods

First of all, You said people at home and abroad , I am basically worried about those Abroad, how would they request/register a new Dollar account ?


The same question goes for Zenith card

Now , the biggest issue is , In as much as you are living or using Nigeria issued / credit / debit card, CBN still regulates the exchange rate, you will still have to pay the equivalent conversion ratio ( even if it's 350) in Nigerian Naira since Over the counter FX deposit has been cancelled



Wait am i even making sense ?

OP, I am glad made reference and not like those fools who steal articles. Or maybe u are yomiprof cos I read this days ago on his site

This Is quite helpful. Thank you

Thanks for this information. This is what the government should have been making available to distressed citizens - this govt do not care about common people.

Most people's challenge is that transactions are appearing impossible at all, but with this information many concerned citizens will know transactions are still possible but are now more expensive.

@OP its not getting the cards that is the issue.

How do you fund those cards you mentioned? The banks dont accept dollar deposit. Or am i missing something??

How do you load funds onto the cards??

You cannot fund your card with Naira, Payoneer can only be funded by third party companies who are affiliated to them

Don't click on the link, he is an affiliate marketer.

I think its wrong to call an affiliate a scammer. All he did
was direct someone to his affiliate link,not ask them to pay him money for it...saying they shouldn't click the link was enough.

This is an issue affecting thousands. People have always been able to fund their account but not anymore. Do you have a way people can fund their accounts without third party?

I agree, there's nothing wrong with being an affiliate marketer, but some of the information you posted is not accurate, we cannot fund our Payoneer card with local currency.

This card issue isn't my problem at all.

I have been using a dollar visa card with skye bank.I cant fund it now cos of the new policy that does not allow dollar deposit.
So that's not an alternative for now
