no anyway at all bro!

in fact, they are even trying to frustrate international fintechs from doing any type of operation in Nigeria.

am thinking of traveling to kenya and open an account there to be receiving funds.

then maybe whn the funds accumulate, i will go over there withdraw them, buy either gold or diamond, come back home and sale them for cash.

Thats too crude

Receive it to ur wise account, use rhe wise to buy crypto, sell to naira bank

Hi, but they won't get blocked if you try sending through Dom or Payoneer, isn't it?

Ermm, if I get you, you are asking if my firm won’t get blocked if they send directly to my dorm? So far there have been no issues. We have never tried Payoneer. I only use Payoneer for Upwork payments.

Hmm, and i am hearing Access bank has issues receiving money thru Payoneer, is it the same thing thru Deel? cos ...i am loosing it already as I see it.
I am signing up for a remote job with a bigger company and they use Deel. is this going to be a problem or.... shay na to pack my load day go final final...

Nowadays i receive about 80% of my payments via Western Union and WorldRemit.

Flutterwave payment works,

Paystack works for those in USA too

Crypto for those in the Baltic's,
Alternatively,use an euro bank account from grey,
Plus others,
Use Payoneer for those who wish to pay you via Payoneer,

Some crazy customer Will prefere wise..have that too,

I
By the way,

The only country I haven't taken payment from is still unknown,

Alternatively,I can tell you how plus company registration for a fee

Okay.

I have payoneer, Grey and Wise.

Payoneer for the past three years

Payoneer doesn't release your funds if not up to $5000. Isn't that a huge restraint? What if I'm getting paid only $2000? I have to wait to get $3000 more to get my money out... Not cool at all... Nothing is cool about Payoneer

I believe there is a way around it if you discuss with your client

This a typical example of Nigeria's problem. So because I earn in $$ I shouldn't complain where Government is sapping me off my hard earned money? I would not blame you though. The hardship in the land is speaking through you.

pls just ignore the guy. His comments stinks of jealousy and envy. No reply am. He is below

Not true I have received ordinary 50$ from payonner,but u can't go below 50$

I use GTBank dollar domiciliary account

Payoneer

pocohantas:
Everything has been said. You just have to keep moving and have multiple payment options.

Currently I have three dorm accounts, GeegPay and Payoneer. I get some funds directly to my dorm, I get some through GeegPay. I haven’t used Payoneer in a while.

It is not even the government, it is our reputation as a people. If you want to send money to Nigeria, the system over there would block it. To them they are protecting the sender from getting scammed, because which normal person sends money to Nigerians.

Does geegpay allow you to receive from an individual bank account, and not only a business account?

That's one of the limitations of Payoneer, their Dom accounts will only receive from a business account.

IMAliyu:

No they don’t. Majority of them do not allow from individual account.

pocohantas:

That's unfortunate,
This thing has been frustrating me, I've lost out on decent money for small art commissions, because of this.

Every problem as a solution. Look for someone that can trust your line of work, they can pay into the person's account and that person can remit to you. If you give the person a small cut, its a win-win. Say you make $2000 a month, and you agree on a 10% cut, he gets $200 and he remits $1800 via western union or worldremit, you get paid and no blockage. Your Oga wont want to be doing all these app transfers...think outside of the box my people.

tensazangetsu20:
Bros its not a joke. I remember when I started working my boss tried more than 4 payment platforms and after using it like 2 times he would get blocked cause he's sending money to Nigeria.

We currently use crypto as a means of payment after we exhausted all options but not every company can use this because of the tax implications.

I know 2 people who have lost jobs because the companies couldn't figure out payment methods and not every company wants to do dorm account transfer. Sometimes the stress is so much especially if it's a small company and it's an individual handling that while your colleagues in other countries are paid through PayPal. I just pity those who have given birth in Nigeria. If things are this bad only God knows how they will be in 20 years.

Paysend....Those in Europe, Israel especially etc, enters into your account ( eg current account)

Worldremit

Western Union/Moneygram: Let them remove charges from your money

send wave and some others from USA...

Problem in Naija is payment( paying for things from Nigeria), so u are forced to patronise fintechs whether or not you trust them.

LMAOOOO! Most foolish suggestion ever. You think humans can be trusted with $2000? Besides why would people be loosing out $200 every month on top of transfers when they are other ways of legit receiving money you're totally in control of.

Your agency is suppose to have a viable non-stressful way of allowing you to receive money globally. They are suppose to carry that heavy burden & not you looking for several means to solve problems when agency is taking a percentage of your actual income.

I never told you to follow the suggestion, I just gave you one...but the most important point was that every problem has a solution. When you order food on the app in Nigeria, the service charge before delivery is 10% then you pay for delivery. You don't think of it as stupid because they are offering you a service. You can negotiate 5% with the person, but if you want someone to allow the use of his account at no cost, then that makes no sense.

If you see Crypto as a better alternative, go for it...but hey, FTX was a warning to you. Like a Yoruba adage always say...if you see a sign of bad thing, think of it as a warning. I am still amazed at how many people will pick Crypto with no backup over doing transactions with their own kinsmen. A word is enough for the wise. By the way, we do millions of dollars of transactions daily outside of the country ...you send dollars to people, and they send Naira to your account in Nigeria effortlessly. They will do it at a reduced rate, but it's faster and makes more sense than sending dollars and waiting for pickup and Sabo market. Every problem has a solution. A word again is enough for the wise.

I have heard from people who's money got to our "kinsmen" abroad for payments but they ate it and never remitted. Crypto exchanges don't crash every day.
I think most freelancers would prefer to receive USD and change by themselves because you get the best conversion that way.
Losing 3% to withdrawal fees is distressing enough to someone like me, I can imagine that guy or any freelancer for that matter would be sorely pissed to lose 10% of their income monthly to an intermediary.

Na so oo.

Be like you're just waking up? So if you work for a company that pays its staff via paypal and you're the only one that is having issues with payment and you still want a full and functional company to bend it's process because of you? Think very well before you post on public forums.

I was the first Nigerian to join so it was algebraic expression to pay me. It was all Europeans previously.
