Important note
Due to recent market restrictions, there is a significant lack of liquidity and increased demand for FX in Nigeria. As such, the Form A application may take longer than expected to be approved or processed. We encourage everyone who needs to submit this form in order to complete their payment to prepare in advance for your payment due date. This will ensure that there will be sufficient time should there be a delay or reattempts required.
