Thanks for this information, just to be on the safest side, YOU SAID THAT IT MUST NOT BE A DOLLAR ACCOUNT (although it was stated that it should be DOLLAR ACCOUNT in the payment details page)?
I have FIRST BANK SAVINGS ACCOUNT, so I can use it and the money will go directly into the savings account in Naira?
Waiting for your reply
Nonso TrendsOfLegends says
PLEASE, HAS ANYONE SUCCESSFULLY USED NORMAL NIGERIAN NAIRA BANK ACCOUNT TO RECEIVE GOOGLE ADSENSE REVENUE?
PLEASE CLARIFY ME, THANKS!
Oga Isaac, I am not saying that your information is not correct.
I am only asking to be sure that one can use Nigerian Bank Savings account details (if there was no Dollar account).
You know that Google too “SMART”: they may tag one’s mistake as FRAUDULENT ACT and sanction the user; and you know what it feels like to receive certain NO-REPLY MAIL (Smiles).
Thanks
Isaac Inegbenehi says
I know many people who do… I do in one of my accounts.
Nonso TrendsOfLegends says
Please, do you know if anyone has used FIRST BANK savings account recently to do so? I know of persons who have successfully used GTB, but have not seen any who used FBN.
