What you should know

Lately, a memo passed by Nigerian banks says; “The naira master card will stop working for international transactions as customers need to get a dollar card for subsequent online transactions starting Sep 30th 2022”. It went so bad for many Nigerian banks as they could not meet the dollar demands of their customers as low as 20$

Few banks that still held their stand are sterling bank, who offer a 100$ spending limit last month, fidelity bank 50$ while others are stuck at 20$ or 0$

All this struggle is due to the scarcity of FX in the economy as CBN has given a mandate to all Nigerian banks to source FX proceeds themselves to meet the dollar demands of their customers.
