    requirements for opening a domiciliary account in Nigeria

    Constant developments in technology has necessitated the need for foreign currencies, over the past years. From paying for a British visa in Pounds and getting paid for side hustles in Dollars to paying for online Masters in Euros – there are too many reasons to own a domiciliary account. Opening a dom account these days is not as stressful as it used to be as long as you choose the right bank. This article will tell you what a dom account is, the types of domiciliary accounts offered by UBA and what you would need to open one.

    What is a Domiciliary Account?

    A domiciliary account, popularly called a ‘Dom Account’, is any account type that is run in foreign currency. It could be a savings or a current account, but it is in every other currency but Naira.

    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.

    Who is Eligible to Open a Dom Account?

    Anyone who has a Bank Verification Number (BVN), both residents and non-residents in Nigeria can open a domiciliary account with UBA. (This does not allow inclusion for diaspora customers). Business corporations can also open and operate a dom account.

    Requirements for Opening a Domiciliary Account in Nigeria

    • Completed account opening form.

    • Completed specimen signature card.

    • Two recent passport photographs.

    • Address verification document, such as a utility bill.

    • Valid identification document, such as international passport, driver’s license,       international drivers license or national ID card.

    • Residence permit.

    • Proof of address (stamped reference letter or a stamped bank confirmation that shows your address).

    • A stamped reference letter or a stamped banker’s confirmation of your bank abroad.

    • Two (2) reference forms from Nigerian current bank account holders.

    • Marriage certificate (for joint account).

    Types of Domiciliary Accounts Offered by UBA

    Freedom Savings Domiciliary Account

    Requirement: BVN

    Dom Advantage Account

    With a minimum opening balance of $ 50, € 50 or ₤ 50 you can open a Dom Advantage Account. This account can be the Savings variant or the Current account variant. It is available in USD, GBP and EURO.

    Requirements

    • Valid Identification (International Passport, Driver’s License, National ID card Voter’s card).

    • Utility Bill.

    • A Passport photograph.

    • References.

    Kiddies Domiciliary Account

    Kiddies Domiciliary Account was created for parents who want to save for their children’s secondary/tertiary education abroad. With more and more students trooping overseas to study, the best way to secure you child’s future financially is to save in a foreign currency which isn’t prone to depreciation. With an opening balance of $100 or £70 or its equivalent and an operating balance of £350 or its equivalent, you’re good to go.

    Requirements

    • Valid Identification of Parent/Guardian.

    • Two Passport photographs of child and parent.
