The rate at which young Nigerians are leveraging the technological space to make money online has led to increasing need for ways to repatriate or move the money accumulated on these online platforms to Nigeria. This is further worsened due to the fact that Nigerians are restricted from platforms like PayPal and Skrill.

But then, there is also a hitch when it comes to opening a standard domiciliary or dollar account which makes it difficult for young internet entrepreneurs to open domiciliary account. So in this article I am going to be walking you through on some easy ways of opening dollar account online in Nigeria without going to the bank or even stressing so much. Before we get down to the main business, there is need to understand what a dollar account means.

What is a Dollar Account?

A dollar account is an account that can receive foreign currency more precisely, USD through fund transfer and even through deposit. The owner of a dollar account can always use the debit card to transact on websites that operate with the US dollars. You can also withdraw your money by entering the banking hall and filling a withdrawal slip.

Now the importance of owning a domiciliary account which can also be called a dollar account is that, you get to receive funds from international platforms in Nigeria. You also get a debit card depending on the bank to do online transactions without experiencing difficulties since one can’t use Naira debit card on websites that operate in dollar. It has myriad of benefits and as such, any one earning from the internet should have one.

How to Open A Dollar Account Online In Nigeria Without Visiting Banks

Currently only two banks in Nigeria provide bankers with the opportunity to create dollar accounts without having to visit the physical branches. Below are the banks that you as a young entrepreneur can open dollar/domiciliary accounts with and start receiving your funds seamlessly;

1. Sterling Bank 

Switch by Sterling Bank

The sterling switch is a multi-currency savings account that provides the customers with added value through an extended partnership network. You can have multiple currencies in the same account.

Apart from providing an opportunity for multiple currencies, you also get to access some investment opportunities and insurance. It is a super useful way for Nigerians in diaspora to send money back home without stress.
