CBN has set up form A to cater to the needs of foreign exchange FX of Nigerians travelling and trading abroad for several reasons. This move ensures that travellers have access to FX cheaply where ever they travel.

If you study abroad, you must pay your fees in the dollar. Euro and pounds depending on the country where you reside. But most times, people buy at the black market rate to meet the school fees deadline.



Before now, Form A was a physical form you filled out and submitted to your bank. But now, CBN has disclosed that the new system will be fully automated online from start to finish. 

What is E-form A?

It is a particular form from the CBN that allows you to get FX cheaply from the CBN at the official rate.. as low as 425/$ instead of the usual parallel market rate of 750/$

However, due to the influx of applications of FX, processing through E-form A for most banks takes 60 days. So if you start applying now, you should get your Fees delivered to your school’s account in no time.

In this article, we will show you how to navigate the CBN trading monitoring system portal and register E-form A.
