How a CCI works
- You bring in dollars — through a Nigerian bank.
- The bank issues a CCI — recording the inflow, usually within days.
- You can repatriate — profits and capital, backed by the CCI.
Why it matters
Without a CCI, getting money back out legally is hard — so it is essential for diaspora investing and for diaspora investors. It connects directly to repatriating proceeds and the broader rules on portfolio investment. Keep it safe; it is your proof of legitimate inflow.
