Let’s face it—managing international payments from Nigeria shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle blindfolded.

But it often does.

Foreign bank accounts are expensive, difficult to access, and have a maze of paperwork. And even when you get one, funding it? That’s another story.

According to a 2024 report by Statista, over 63% of Nigerian freelancers and digital entrepreneurs struggle with payment access for global services. That’s a big number—and a bigger problem.

That’s where the Nearpays Virtual Dollar Card comes in.

It’s simple. It’s local. And it works globally. Whether you're a freelancer paying for tools, a business owner managing ads, or just someone who wants to shop on Amazon without begging a cousin abroad for help, this solution was built with you in mind.

In this article, we’ll break down why Nearpays might just be the smarter, faster, and far more accessible alternative to traditional foreign bank accounts.

The Problem with Foreign Bank Accounts

Opening a foreign bank account from Nigeria? Good luck.

You're looking at:

• Long approval times
• Excessive documentation
• High maintenance fees
• Cross-border transfer limits
• Unpredictable exchange rates

And for many people, that process ends before it even begins.

Whether it’s for receiving international payments or funding a card for online purchases, most Nigerians simply don’t have access to reliable dollar banking. That’s not just inconvenient—it’s limiting.
