When Michael received an email from his client saying, “Kindly send your USD account so we can process your payment,” he froze. He had no idea what to send.
Many Nigerians like Michael had been working with international clients for months, but never had a USD account in their name. He’d been relying on friends’ Payoneer details, local bank workarounds, or third-party accounts, each one slow, unreliable, or flat-out blocked after deposits. At that moment, it hit him: earning in dollars is pointless if you can’t receive it properly.
The reality is, you never know when you’ll need a USD account. It could be a surprise family gift, an online purchase you can’t make in Naira, a customer from Dubai who wants to pay for your hair brand in dollars, or a friend asking you to help them collect and hold funds in USD.
Whether you’re a small business owner selling to customers abroad, a student with school bills in dollars, or someone receiving money from family overseas, a personal USD account gives you control to transact globally. You can receive funds via ACH, RTP, SWIFT, or Wire, and your name is on the account, not someone else’s.
This isn’t about having a fancy account for show, it’s about being ready.
Ready to receive. Ready to send. Ready to move money when you need to, without stress. Because again, you never really know when opportunity comes knocking.
