With so many financial applications available, how many can you use without going crazy?

I used to believe that just like we need multiple mobile providers to enjoy uninterrupted internet service in Nigeria, I needed several fintech apps to avoid getting stranded. Imagine installing multiple Fintech apps to find the one with a virtual card that works. No one should have several Fintech apps to transact with their money.

For a long time, I faced many issues with receiving payments and transacting internationally. It was a frustrating experience until I discovered Grey Finance.

Difficulties before Grey

I had a lot of issues receiving international payments when I started working remotely. I remember using a platform that held my funds for over two months, and when I eventually accessed it, I immediately had to close the account. It was a difficult time for me, and so my search for a way to receive payments seamlessly from international clients began.

Changing money to Nigeria has been the hardest, most difficult, and most expensive thing that has happened to me. I came across several options, and with each transaction, I was losing money in fees and exchange rate discrepancies. I just wanted something more straightforward, which was not too much to ask for as a remote worker in Nigeria.

I had a friend who I would say was a Grey advocate, because he was always sharing information about how Grey is safe, secure, and efficient. At first, I didn't pay much attention to what he was saying due to my previous experiences, but then I started seeing reviews on Twitter. Getting the right financial platform was a big deal because I wanted to focus on what mattered, which was my work, and not have to worry about how to receive payment. The Twitter testimonials were all the buy-in I needed to begin my journey with Grey.

My experience with Grey's multiple foreign bank accounts

I decided to explore the platform, and I’ve never looked back. Firstly, I could open a free US, UK, and EU bank account to receive foreign payments globally, with no minimum deposits required. It was a relief that I didn't have to worry about my payments again. Even better, I could receive payments from platforms like Deel and more.

Setting up my account was a walk in the park, with the customer support holding my hands along the way. The steps outlined for the foreign account creation were easy to understand and walkthrough. The verification process was thorough and fast. With my background in product design, this was an experience I particularly appreciated.

Another thing I love about them is their swift customer support. Every time I experienced a blocker, the response was within minutes. Additionally, the fact I can swap from one currency to another all-in-one experience is mind-blowing. Let me not mention local bank transactions that take less than a minute of processing time.
