Receiving dollars from abroad<\/a><\/strong> doesn’t always require opening a domiciliary account with a Nigerian bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these accounts remain useful for international payments<\/a><\/strong>, the documentation requirements, transfer charges, and processing times can make them less convenient for people who simply want to receive money from family<\/a><\/strong>, international clients, or employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, you can receive international payments<\/a><\/strong> through online transfer platforms, digital wallets, stablecoins like USDT and USDC, and other financial services<\/a> <\/strong>without necessarily opening a domiciliary account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best method depends on whether you want to hold actual US dollars, receive dollar -pegged digital assets, or access the naira equivalent of your payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With TransferXO’s cross-border payment solution<\/strong><\/a>, you can explore supported international transfers, direct bank and wallet payouts, and other payment features that make moving money across borders more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But which alternative works best, and when would you still need a domiciliary account?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we’ll explain what a domiciliary account means, how it works in Nigeria, four alternatives for receiving money from abroad, and how TransferXO can help you manage eligible international payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
