Availability in Nigeria

If you run — or plan to register — a company in one of those markets, which is common for Kano founders selling to customers abroad, you can use Square for that entity. To hold and move Nigerian naira locally from Kano in the meantime, a Globe multi-currency account (powered by WorldFirst) works today.
