Online Payments Q and A — Currently, Amazon Pay does not allow direct transfers to Nigerian bank accounts. While Amazon has made strides in facilitating payments for international users, there are specific restrictions for Nigerian residents.
Key Points:
• Direct Deposits: Amazon does not support direct deposits to Nigerian bank accounts. This limitation applies to various Amazon services, including Amazon KDP and Amazon Associates, where payments can only be made to accounts in certain supported countries like the US and UK.
• Alternative Solutions: To receive payments from Amazon, Nigerian users often need to utilize third-party services like Payoneer, which provide virtual bank accounts in supported currencies. These services can help facilitate the receipt of Amazon payments, which can then be withdrawn to local bank accounts.
• Amazon Gift Cards: Another option for users is to convert their Amazon earnings into gift cards, which can then be sold or used for purchases on Amazon.
In summary, while you can use Amazon Pay for various transactions, transferring funds directly to a Nigerian bank account is not currently supported. Exploring third-party financial services is the best alternative for receiving Amazon payments in Nigeria.
