    1. If you have a savings account, you still need a guarantor who is a current account holder. GT bank don't run zero domiciliary account. You should visit any of their branch for the limit. You don't need to upgrade you master card. Just register on PayPal website, verify your account with your master card and you are ready to go.

      Regards.

    1. They are both good. It depends on what you want. For payoneer account, individuals can't pay into the account, only companies. For domiciliary account, both can. But payoneer is more flexible, you can withdraw the money through ATM anywhere, convert it to other forms of currencies like Bitcoin, etc. Payoneer is mostly for those that want to receive money from companies.

    1. There is no way you can open a Dom account without funding it. Since it's for business, you can borrow

  49. Hello, please after opening the Dom account, do I neccesarily have to be with dollars before funding or I can give naira and it will be converted?

    Secondly, If I also send money in naira to the account will it be converted to dollars or it will be revoked?

    Lastly, if I withdraw from the account, am I going to be given dollars or it will be converted to naira?

    1. If you are in Nigeria, you can go with Naira to your bank, they will convert it to dollar and deposit it.
      You can't send naira to the account.
      If you are withdrawing, you can request for naira (when you're in Nigeria) or dollar.
