Is it possible to get a debit card for an account in any Nigerian bank? I checked on First Bank's website but their requirements are that you have to open an account with an initial deposit of at least USD625, and show proof of income to get a MasterCard. Intercontinental Bank seems to issue credit cards for less but you also need to have proof of employment and a domiciliary account,

Is it possible to open a domiciliary account if you are not employed? I'm assuming it's like a foreign currency account; what's d minimum deposit required?

So how do Nigerians buy things online? I need a debit card (preferably) that can work with Paypal. I noticed last summer that there were these Interswitch ATM cards that everyone had in Nigeria. Can they be used online?

My guy the debit card thing has been of great concern to me because i also needed it for payment on line. I found out that our Nigerian banks are still being re geed issuing the stuff but i got to find out from my bank; GTbank, that as their customer it was easier. All they demanded is an international passport and the minimum purchase is just about $100. I think thats prety fair, what do you think? So you can go open an account with them for this purpose if you don't have with them already. And they are also very flexible, they won't make it hard to get. Cheers!
