Dollar scarcity: Banks suspend usage of Naira debit/credit cards for transactions abroad

As part of efforts to manage the dollar crisis, Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria have sent out messages to their customers notifying them that they cannot use their Naira debit/credit cards for any transaction abroad for now.

A message sent by one of the banks pictured above, states that all transactions done outside Nigeria will henceforth be via a dollar debit/credit card.

The implication of this is that Nigerians who are to do transactions abroad, this include students studying abroad, will have to open domiciliary accounts and fund the account with dollars, pounds or euros purchased from the parallel market at the prevailing exchange rates.

This is bad for businesses especially the ones that are just coming up. These people holding us to ransome aren't they tired yet? I still hold the opinion that thus recession is man made simply to favour some people. The common man has no hope in this country, he's used as a pawn by some heartless players who don't give a damn if the common man lives or dies.

Of course , in fact online shopping is the reason why they probably did it. This is not good especially for me, it will affect my business, I don't like this at all. Not to talk of customs increasing their charges every now and then.

The price of dollar has been going down hope this won't push it back up

And that will increase demand for dollars,thus it will skyrocket. mark my words dollars will soon be above 500. Can't this people think. Instead of easing off the demand you are adding to the burden. Cbn governor and finance minister shd be sacked. They know nothing.

Unknown said...

not again!!!! are there even any moves made to ease the pressure on the dollar? what is wrong with this administration? is there a Minister of finance in this country? everyday president was in a meeting with economic and financial council....what do they talk about?? Lord!!!! does the CBN governor really understand what he is doing??
