I went to a Wema bank branch yesterday to withdraw from my Domicillary , but i was told they have stopped giving dollars. I wanted to make transfer and they said that was also impossible.

Who else is facing this challenge?

Note i still was able to withdraw last week. Could this be from CBN?

Zenith bank still gives dollar...I suggest you maybe visit a head office of Wema bank around you

Ddworld:


That is laughable. Highly ridiculous. I can still tell you that; it is either your branch has an issue or something is wrong with Wema bank. Why won't they give you access to your . Try to make an official report. If the branch said they don't have USD, that is acceptable but also denying you transfer is highly ridiculous.

Try to find an importer that needs USD, agree wity each other and then submit form m

This government no get sense at all

Restricting dollars , while it makes things harder for people, and is not a solution to our problem...is the reason why one dollar is not equal to N2500 naira today.

Meaning that they offered to give you the naira equivalent at CBN rate?

I was told by GTBANK that the monthly withdrawal limit is now $1,000

And did you pay in dollars (cash) or was it "inflow"?

Does this apply to "inflow" to or just cash deposit?

Read a post about 2-3weeks ago that CBN has directed all banks to stop giving out dollars

HardMirror:
baba are u using wema bank? Abi u want me to send u screenshot? Wema dollar card had been down for over 2 weeks now. I have to go to the bank for transactions and right now they are saying they cannot do it. And no withdrawal over the counter. Abeg dont tell me about a problem i am ing through.
I just want to know if other banks have this problem i dont need you to tell me what my own bank is doing.

Since they started giving PTA of $2k instead of $4k, we should have known they are having challenges.

This serious oh

Do they have limits on deposits? Why are our banks so useless? I'm wondering why Emefiele hasn't been relieved of his position.

Where are you based?

I don't think CBN is releasing dollar to the banks

Banks have not stopped. My friend got after two days with fidelity bank. He needed to globetrot the fidelity branches in Abuja to find one that paid him.

Worthless banks. If a big politician comes and needs a large amount they will have to give him.
What a country called Nigeria.

What's their daily & monthly limit?

Those that don't operate a Dom won't appreciate this thread.

I have been trying to withdraw money from my First Bank Dom for some while now but has been unable to do it. The cashier usually tells me that there is no funds available whenever I visit their branch. It's really painful for someone to have money in an and yet, unable to withdraw it.

I just opened a dollar with access bank and paid in cash. They didn't tell me anything like that o.

I never do myself so?

You can deposit cash but you can't withdraw

2wks ago, I had $250 in my fidelity bank Dom so I decided to take advantage of the hike in dollars then to withdraw and sell it to aboki. I went to the only two fidelity bank branches in my state and they both claimed they don't have dollar in cash to give me. I later sha narrated to a friend my ordeal who told me that if I want, he can link me with a staff in one of the same Fidelity Bank I was told dollar no dey and that I'll be paid the $250 cash instantly if I'll agree to grease palms. I played along and got my $250 given to me after giving N12k bribe. Smh

But can be spend for online transaction?

I can Run Offshore to offshore for you
If you need dollars in the USA, come to me, rates is good, at least far better than Black market

There has been a severe shortage of dollars in circulation.

CBN is also not releasing dollars to banks for OTC payments

This started around April and now, most bank reserves are completely depleted.

It is not really a function of branch/bank, na national breakfast

YoobaNesan:

Yes, you can make payments online with your USD card

Lol you are very funny. You no just won hear story

HardMirror:
that is why i opened this thread to know if it is just the branch, bank or every bank. Thanks for the tip

go n report on Twitter on their official page not here. That's when you LL know if indeed the order is from above

Kobonaire234:
Nigeria is not making enough dollars.

Of the dollars we make, most of it goes to pay off our debts, or to pay for imported fuel and the subsidy we pay on it.

That's why when voting...if your candidate does not have a plan to get us off oyel....don't vote for them (Especially APC).

Dumb talk

. Very soon savings in dollars will be banned, Physical Dollars cash may also be banned, Naira value is getting eroded because people now use dollars like is our local currency, when travelling abroad you will have to buy travellers cheque from your bank.

Soon all your FX in dorm will be converted to Naira, there are over $20B dollars in dorm s, if this is converted to Naira dollar can be less than 200 Naira
