How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Posted by Felix Okoli on Tuesday November 6, 2012 at 9:11:38:

Having a domiciliary account is a good thing as it allows you to save foreign currencies in your account and use them when you want.

If you've been saving or transferring funds into a domiciliary account in Nigeria, you may at one time need to make a withdrawal. How do you make that withdrawal?

There are many ways one can make a withdrawal from a domiciliary account and this depends on the type of domiciliary account: Savings or current

How to withdraw
1. Submitting a written application for withdrawal:
- You can just write an application for a withdrawal addresses to your bank branch's manager and you'd be able to get the money, same day

2. Making use of a withdrawal slip:
This works for banks as a normal withdrawal slip. You can get one across the counter, fill and wait to be paid from the foreign currency teller.

3. Using a cheque (For currency domiciliary accounts):
Writing a cheque to withdraw from your account is quite easy. Just indicate the amount the you want and your usual signature. You can cash the cheque over the counter or pay into another domiciliary account and you will be paid in the foreign currency.

4. Wire transfer:
You can simply do a wire transfer from bank to bank either for local or international and the funds would be transferred within a week.

5. Using an ATM card:
If your domiciliary account is tied to an ATM card like Visa or Mastercard, you can easily withdraw from any globally connected ATM in Nigeria in the local currency or abroad in the country's currency. It normally comes with some charges

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

is there any difference between nigeria domiciliary acct and USA domiciliary acct

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I'm not sure about your question but I know of these types of domiciliary accounts:

- Savings domiciliary account
- Current domiciliary account
- USD domiciliary account
- GBP domiciliary account
- Euro domiciliary account.

A domiciliary account is simply a bank account held in a foreign currency and not in Naira.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I have $300 in my ACCESS bank account, and I withdraw $50 ... Why my balance is below $238?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I think there is normally a withdrawal charge for domiciliary accounts in Access bank. Last time I checked, they charged me $20 per withdrawal. However you should know that it is not all banks that charge you for withdrawals.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

You can make payments by doing a bank to bank transfer to the seller's bank. You just need to know the beneficiary's bank details

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

i operate a savings account with both first bank and Gtbank, pls, can i open a domicilliary account with GTbank without opening a current account?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

You don't need a current account to open a domiciliary account. A savings account will do

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Can i make a transfer from my domiciliary account to my local account?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I think it is possible but the issue is whether your bank would use a good rate.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Hi felix,I just opened a dom cct with gtbank jst a week ago with no amount but jst yesterday I sent someone to make a deposite of 100dols for me.i didnt receive any alert but checked my balon online and saw dat av bin credited.was actually wondering while I got no alert cos I filled to be alerted in d form,secondly when I checked my bal I saw dat it was written dat my dom is a current acct.so I jst want to confirm if all doms are written as currentacct cosi filled savings in d form.tnks await ur reply

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

There are 2 types of dom account - a savings and a current account. You would get to decide which type of account you wanted to open. If you already had an existing current account with the bank and request for a domiciliary account, they would automatically open a current dom account for you. As for not getting the alert, you may need to subscribe again specifically for the alert. It seems they've not set it up yet. Alternatively, you can also have them send you an email alert if you have an email.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I don't know the exact rates but you will be charged a COT based on your withdrawal.

You can do online banking with your dom account.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

how long does it take for bank wire transfer internationally to reflect in my FCMB dom acct and wat is the charge

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I think it takes about 3 to 7 days and there are some small charges.

Good one Felix!!! Pls I need to know if it's possible to pay Naira in one's local savings acct(Zenith Bank) and withdraw or transfer dollars in the dorm acct and if that's possible what are the charges like? Thanks man

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I don't think banks offer that service right now. Not possible yet

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Please, can I make deposit to my Nigeria domicilary Account when I'm in abroad? Solomonj24d@gmail.com

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Yes you can. Just ask your bank for the exact trasnfer details for your bank account before travelling or you can send them an email. You can transfer from other countries to Nigeria using what we call a Wire transfer but the currency has to be in the same currency as your domiciliary account e.g. USD, Euro or GBP.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

If I Open An Account In Nigeria Here, Can A Friend In Uk, Give Me Money Through That Acct?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

What I Mean Is Dat, If I Send My Acct No To My Friend In Uk, Is It Possible For Him To Deposit Money For Me There And I Take The Money Here Through The Same Acct Easily?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Yes he can send money to you from the UK. Just open a domiciliary bank account in GBP currency

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

hi felix, how can i used my check sent to me via my online biz, for it to be deposited into my dom acct?. Is it possible,.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Foreign cheques can be sent using postal system or courier service. I think courier service is better since it is faster and safer. An international bank transfer would even be better since the money would go straight to your dom account.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Pls, which bank charge lowest or doesn't charge atall when withdrawing from a dom account?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I am not sure which of them has the lowest fee but I'd recommend going to those banks that don't have too much customers

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

If I mail out let's say a check of $10,000 and include the name of the dom act holder in Nigeria. How much will be receiver get from the bank? Is their any charge for presenting that check in Nig.?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

They would be a charge on the cheque. Some banks charge courier fee and also some bank charges on foreign cheques. Instead of sending a cheque, why not send a bank wire straight to the person's dom account in Nigeria? That would save you time and you also get to know how much the bank would charge in advance. The receiver would not pay any other charges for bank wire.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Pls, if I do bank wire how long does it take for the receiver to cash it? How long does a bank wire take before it gets to the destination and cashed? Thanks.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I think it normally takes about 3 to 7 working days

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Hi Felix,
I am thinking of sending money to family in Nigeria from US, through wire transfer. Except Acct number and Routing number, are there other things they may require. (Not Dom account). and does it take same 3-7 days? (UBA). Will the amount just reflect in the persons account in Nigeria or are there protocols/paper works again to do at their end or what?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I think those are the basic things you need. You'd also need to know the account number and sort code for the bank. The receiver doesn't need to do any other thing other than wait for the money to reflect in his account

Can you help answer a question? I need to transfer money from my bank in the United States to a domiciliary account at GTB bank. Will the recipent recieve the money in USD since I am transfering from my USD account? Just wanted to make sure. Also apart from the account number whatelse do I need? Swift code maybe? Thank you very much.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Yes, the person can receive the money in USD if the destination account is a USD account. Yes, you will also need the Swift code for the destination bank before making the transfer.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Hello Bros,

How can I transfer money to my brothers GTB's domicilary acct. Bcos in my net banking cross-border payment form is totally different from the information above. I only have spaces for Beneficiary information and Beneficiary bank's information. No space to put the destination acct and BENEFICIARY�S A/C NO.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Under the beneficiary's information, you should put the person's name and bank account number. Under the bank information, put in the bank name.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Hello Felix, is it possible for me withdraw money in China with my Mastercard from a naira savings/current account?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Yes. Nigerian Visa and Mastercard now work around the world. Some banks might however lock these cards and so I'd advise you tell your bank first to enable you to make withdrawals and payments abroad before travelling with your Visa or Mastercard.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Hello felix
There are two questions I pls need answers to: (1) can I receive money directly into my Nigerian saving account which is not a dom account? If yes, do you know if the sender will be charged more compared to using western union?
(2) If I have a dom account and am to receive money from the US, will the sender be charged for sending money to my dom account? If yes, will the charges be as much as that if he was to use western union?
My dad says western union is become to expensive for him to send money thru so I need a means cheap enough for him.
Thanks for been here for us felix, u are the best.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

1. Yes and sender will be charged a small fee

2. Yes, the sender will also be charged a fee.

As for it being less costly than Western union, I think it depends. Sending money internationally through bank to bank is better than Western union if you were sending about $1000 based on what I know. Western union is only good for people who send small amounts of money, perhaps under $300. If you are sending large amounts of money say $500 to $5000, Bank wires are better and cheaper.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

Dear Felix, i would like your help in answering two questions: i am expecting a wire transfer for payment from a client. 1, i don't know the routing no of my Dom account or it's iban no. Will the client still be able to make payment into my dom account

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

The sender will need to include the routing number and bank account details when sending the bank wire. You can ask your bank and they will give it to you. It is the sender that will provide the details to the bank when applying for an international transfer.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I have a domiciliary account with gtb and i intend applying for the domi card. if i make online payment with my card can i also receive money to my card without doing a wire transfer?

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria

I don't think you can receive money directly to your card. You can receive money first to your bank account and then be able to use it on your card. So, the money has to go first to your bank account.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Monday August 11, 2014 at 5:12:56:

You will be able to withdraw in the same currency as the account e.g. US dollars, British Pounds or Euro. For now, its a smart way of collecting hard currency from the bank after the CBN stopped banks from paying foreign currency through Western Union.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Wednesday August 20, 2014 at 15:40:7:

Well Chukwuma, you are allowed to use a personal or business name to open a domiciliary account. It depends on what you want to use it for. If the person who is sending money to you from abroad is a business contact, then it may be good to use a business name else you should just use a personal account.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Tuesday February 10, 2015 at 10:25:13:

Funds like that tend to get delayed or flagged at the bank because it's considered to be a high value transaction but that doesn't mean that you won't eventually receive it. Just ask your bank the status of the transaction.

Yes you can use it but first of all you need to tell your bank to activate it for use outside Nigeria. Some banks disabled card usage outside Nigeria for our safety. SO just tell your bank before you travel. It's actually a smarter way to carry money when you travel.

The big question is if the person actually sent the money. If he did, the money should be in your bank account within 7 days. If he did, he should send you a scanned receipt of the transfer to your email and you can take it to your bank to verify.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Sunday March 29, 2015 at 2:24:57:

You don't necessarily need a dom account just to receive wire transfers from abroad as you can even receive it to your Naira account. Sure you can receive it within 7 days of him sending it. The only thing is that if it was a dom account, you can receive in the same currency.

I heard that GTBank doesn't charge anything to open a domiciliary account. You may however bring an initial deposit amount of say $100. I don't think they will charge yoy for withdrawing from your et365 account if it's a foreign bank wire transfer but they may charge transaction fees if you use a cheque to withdraw from your dom account or for making foreign cheque deposits from bet365.

You don't necessarily needa domiciliary account as you can also withdraw using a savings account. Payza can pay you using wire transfer if you have funds with them. If you want to use a dom account, then make it be in the same currency as your payza account.

Hi Felix, i just stumbled on your site and i must confess that i am impressed with your responses to questions. Well done sir! My question is this, i am traveling to France in a few weeks and need you to confirm the cheapest way to carry money without being charged too much during exchange rate. Is it wiser/cheaper to just use my ATM card directly in France. If yes, any idea what i will be charged extra when i make withdrawals overseas. Or would you advise me to change money in Nigeria to Euro cash and take along with me. The exchange rates in d black market is scary (almost N250 to one Euro!) and i need to get very good value for my money. Thank you

It's best to carry your ATM card(Mastercard or Visa) abroad since it would allow you make payments in foreign currency at a good rate than if you were to buy it in Nigeria from the black market. If there are any charges, it would be nothing compared to the black market rates. You should only carry some small cash just for emergencies such as your card not working. You are entitled to $50,000 a year on foreign trips as a Nigerian.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Sunday July 12, 2015 at 21:33:17:

Foreign cheques don't clear immediately in Nigeria as it takes about 21 working days. It's better to just carry along a credit/debit card powered by Visa or Mastercard.

Hello felix, I have a dom account with GTBank. The question is what is the minimum amount that could be left in the dom account? or can i withdraw everything?

Thanks

108

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Sunday August 2, 2015 at 15:15:25:

I don't think you can withdraw everything. I think the minimum should be around $150

Hello mr felix, I need you to tell me the easiest way to get my money to the USA, I would be traveling to the USa in a month time and I just got in the news that banks have stop saving in Dollars and transferring money through Domiciliary account, how can I get my money to the USA I'm talking about a large sum here , thanks for your reply me felix

110

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Monday August 3, 2015 at 13:31:23:

I think the other option would be to get a debit card such as Visa or Mastercard. What I heard about dom accounts is that banks are no longer accepting deposits but are allowing withdrawals and so I think you can always make fund transfer to your US bank account from your dom or Naira account.

Hello felix, I just opened a domicillary account 2 months ago, when I sent the diamond bank details to my brother-in US- to transfer cash to me he said he was confused. Now he wants to try again; how do I confirm that my dom account is functional?

112

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Tuesday August 4, 2015 at 16:30:28:

You will need to give him the account name, account number, bank, country and swift code. I think swift code for Diamond bank is DBLNNGLAXXX

Good day Felix. Please I want to confirm. Some money was transferred from access bank Uk in GBP to my Ecobank dollar account here in Nigeria since August 3rd. The transfer process was succesful in the proof of payment sent to me. As at today It is yet to reflect in My dollar account. My question is can the GBP reflect in dollar account if yes how many days pls. Thanks

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Tuesday August 11, 2015 at 2:55:16:

International Fund transfers shouldn't take more than 7 working days. Contact your bank and ask them about it. it may just be delayed at the head office or something.

thanks

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Wednesday September 16, 2015 at 2:16:41:

You can also deposit money into a Naira account. It doesn't have to be a domiciliary account. If you send to money, the bank will just convert it to Naira and credit to your account.

117

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Wednesday September 23, 2015 at 21:26:48:

I hear transfers from dom to savings is possible in Gtbank but most banks rarely do that and most customers rarely patronize that because banks offer lower exchange rate. Yes you can use online banking platform on some banks to transfer from dom to naira but it's rare. If you are outside Nigeria, you can transfer money from a foreign bank account to a Naira account directly. Also, on the issue of withdrawing from a dom account, it is still possible. The only thing I know is that banks don't allow one to deposit cash into a dom account for now.

Re: How to withdraw from a Domiciliary account in Nigeria Reply by Felix Okoli on Wednesday September 21, 2016 at 16:24:53:

Was it sent through Western Union? I think that's the policy on Western Union to pay in Naira. However, when I do receive money from a foreign fund transfer directly into my bank account, I normally get paid in dollars. Which bank did you use? If your bank doesn't want to pay you in Dollars, you can choose not to collect the money.

Yes, it can withdraw in Canada and it will be in Canadian dollars. However, due to limits with Naira cards, you will only be able to withdraw limited funds from a Naira card in Canada but if you have a Dollar card, you will be able to withdraw up to the amount that it is in your account..
