Discover how to receive international payments for your work at Fintech Summit 2022

by James · September 12, 2022

Nigeria is home to a young, tech-savvy population – many of whom are telecommuters.

Thanks to the growing number of tech professionals and access to freelance platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, many of these Nigerians now work remotely with international companies and are paid in foreign currency.

While ideally this is a fantastic feat, you’ll agree that the ease of securing cross-border payments continues to wear thin. This is a problem that continues to plague the remote work and gig work ecosystem in this part of the world.

From the challenges of securing foreign exchange (FX), especially dollars, to the processing time and possible loss of money during the exchange, it seems like you are at the mercy of forces you cannot control.

One solution to these challenges was the introduction of virtual dollar cards that allow you to perform cross-border transactions such as receiving and transferring funds.

Recently, virtual dollar cards have come under some restrictions, making international payments and subscriptions difficult.

All of these challenges cause telecommuters to jump from one temporary solution to another.
