A domiciliary account is a type of current account that allows you to fund it with foreign currencies such as dollars, pounds or euros and enables you to do foreign transactions on that account.

You can use a domiciliary account to transfer money to another country or receive foreign currency from another country.

The Domiciliary Current account is designed to enable you to carry out local or international transactions from the comfort of your home, office or abroad.

The account is funded in Pounds, Euros, Dollars and Yen. The account can be opened by Individuals, Business Owners, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises, corporate organizations.

Domiciliary Account Explained

A domiciliary account is the type of Bank account that allows you to fund it with foreign currencies such as dollars, Pounds or Euros and also enables you to do foreign transactions on that account.

This means you can use the domiciliary account to transfer money from foreign countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Dubai etc and you can also use a domiciliary account to receive money in dollars, pounds or euros from another country in Nigeria.

Advertising

The sole aim of a domiciliary account is to help you carry out your business transaction and not for saving purposes. You can actually use it to save money if you want but the main purpose of this type of account is for foreign business transactions.

To fully operate with a domiciliary account, you will have to open it with any Bank in your country where you live. After opening the account, your account details will be given to you which you will send to the person abroad that wants to send money to you. You will also be given a dollar MasterCard after you successfully open a domiciliary account which you can use to make online purchases and others.

Why You Need a Domiciliary Account

Domiciliary accounts were made to help you use foreign currencies conveniently, in the same manner, that your current or savings account operates. With a dom account, you can receive money in the foreign currency directly into your account.

Advantages of a Domiciliary Account

Now let’s see the advantage and benefits of a domiciliary account.

Receive Any Currency Directly To Your Account: Most of the problem we faced is the official bank currency covert. If you are a blogger reading this you will agree with me that all bloggers need a domiciliary account or Payoneer account so that they can receive their money in the foreign currency and convert it anytime they want.

Traditionally, the bank will be the one to convert any currency sent from abroad to you which is not always at the black market rate. For example, a dollar is equal to around N550. Now when you receive any foreign currency into your local bank account the bank will convert it at their official rate which will be around N450 instead of N550. But with a domiciliary account, you will be the one to exchange your foreign currency to Naira. You can sell it at any rate and you can also use it to pay for foreign hosting or buy anything on a foreign website which will be cheaper

Saving In Foreign Currency: You read that right. First Bank allows you to save in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euro using the domiciliary account. And your money will be valued at the prevailing exchange rate.

Control Over Unstable Currency: It’s no longer news that Naira has he fluctuating over the years. The Naira exchange rate has been a course to worry about especially for those that import from foreign countries.

With a domiciliary account, you don’t have anything to worry about as long as you have a fund on your account you can buy and carry out any foreign transaction anytime any day.

CBN New Domiciliary Account Policy

Sometimes around 2020, the Central Bank (CBN) announced her new domiciliary banking system policy measures in Nigeria’s remittance program, and such policy affected all the kinds of money and currency sent home by the Nigerians living in the Diaspora. 

This disclosure was contained in a circular that was signed and released by Dr. O.S Nnaji, the CBN Director of Trade and Exchange Department on November 30, 2020, to all legal and authorized dealers as well as the entire public.

Thus, these new rules and remittance programme policies on how to make or receive money from the United Kingdom or any other part of the world to Nigeria came into the limelight with immediate effect.

In the statement released by this CBN Trade Director, the domiciliary accounts used in depositing export proceeds i.e inflow from goods and services exported from Nigeria — can be used only for business operations.

In addition, on export users, the new CBN directive also gives room for any extra funds that are left in the domiciliary accounts to be disposed of in the Investors and Exporters (I and E) Window.

This could only mean one thing, and that is the fact that the CBN is warning all exporters not to panic sell — in the black market — their foreign proceeds.

The reason is that their old accounts will not be seized to be in operation based on the existing regulations that allow domiciliary bank account holders to use their funds only for business operations.

On other domiciliary users, it was maintained in their new policy that where the accounts are funded through electronic or wire transfer, such account holders will be given unfettered, unrestricted, and full access to use the funds for any eligible transactions of their choices.

However, in any situation where the accounts are being funded through cash lodgments, then the existing domiciliary banking regulations will be involved and applied, where necessary.

Conclusion

Most Banks in Nigeria now allows their customers to open a domiciliary saving account but before then you will need a minimum amount of $500, €500 or £300. This depends on the bank policy and rules. That’s all o Domiciliary account for all Bank In Nigeria
