Funding and the conversion rate
Inward transfers arrive in their original currency; the rate only bites when you convert naira in or dollars out, and the bank’s rate can sit below market — see how banks price FX. If you receive from abroad or save in hard currency, a dom account gives you timing control. Always compare the live USD rate.
