Information provided by the Beneficiary: Remitter should obtain all required bank information from the Beneficiary (e.g. SWIFT BIC, account number, and beneficiary bank address). Central Bank: For additional information, please refer to Central Bank of Nigeria.
Country Requirements/Restrictions: Payments related to investments from foreign investors require a Certificate of Capital Importation (CCI) and should be sent in USD only, as the beneficiary bank must perform the conversion onshore. Remitter must request the beneficiary to apply for the CCI from their local bank in Nigeria prior to initiating the USD payment. The beneficiary bank will issue the CCI once the funds are converted and credited to the beneficiary account. Failure to obtain a CCI may result in difficulties when repatriating interests, profits, dividends and original investment amount. Effective immediately, Payments to individuals from corporations/organizations are permitted again. However, where the underlying remitter is an individual such payments are still not permitted. Payments between corporations/organizations continue to be supported.
