Getting Paid as a Freelancer in Nigeria: No Dollar Card Needed

Feb 2, 2026 · 4 min read

As a Nigerian freelancer, getting paid shouldn\'t be the hardest part of the job. But for too many people, it is. Between payment delays, currency conversion fees, and the struggle to get a dollar card, the process can be exhausting.

PBridge was built to make getting paid simple.

Earn in Naira

Every transaction on PBridge happens in Nigerian Naira. You negotiate your rate in Naira, the client pays in Naira, and you receive Naira in your wallet. No exchange rates. No surprises.

Money Is Secured Before You Start

When a client hires you, they fund the escrow upfront. This means the money is already set aside for you before you write a single line of code or design a single pixel. You\'re never working on hope.

Withdraw to Your Bank Account

Once the client approves your delivery, the payment hits your PBridge wallet. From there, you can withdraw directly to any Nigerian bank account. No intermediaries, no domiciliary account needed.

Transparent Fees

PBridge charges a clear service fee based on your subscription plan. Free accounts pay 20%, Professional pays 15%, Business pays 10%, and Enterprise pays just 5%. You always know exactly what you\'ll earn before accepting a gig.

No Chasing Invoices

The days of sending invoices and waiting weeks for payment are over. The escrow system means the money is guaranteed the moment you\'re hired. Deliver great work, get approved, get paid. That\'s it.
