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 ? |

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. 1 Like |

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. 1 Like |

Pidggin: 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. 1 Like |

yhemsy62: 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? |

yhemsy62: 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. |
