Many Nigerian importers and agencies owe or earn dollars from US counterparties. With a Financiar USD balance you settle US invoices dollar-to-dollar — the funded dollars are exactly what the recipient receives, minus a visible fee, with no conversion margin hidden in a rate. Financiar does not convert naira to dollars inside the platform; you fund USD and pay USD. Financiar serves businesses across Africa, North America, the UK, and the EU, with same-currency payouts, virtual USD/EUR/GBP cards, spend management, and maker-checker approvals.
Same-currency USD settlement
Holding US Dollar (USD) and paying USD-to-USD means the amount invoiced and the amount that moves match, apart from a transparent fee. There's no exchange-rate margin because nothing is converted. You fund the USD balance first — Financiar settles the currency you hold and does not convert your local currency on your behalf.
How it works for Nigerian businesses
Open an account and pass KYC, fund your USD balance, add the the US payee as a beneficiary, and send the payment under maker-checker approval. Every transaction is logged with amount, currency, recipient, approver, and timestamp for clean reconciliation. The same USD balance can issue virtual USD cards for online spend in the US.
