Get paid from Deel in Nigeria.
Deel can’t pay out to a Nigerian bank account directly — its local-transfer network doesn’t reach Nigeria — so contractors in Nigeria need a US-dollar account to receive their pay. A Poplin account gives you one — with a US account number and routing number, in your own name, no US company. Get paid in US dollars, then hold or convert to Nigerian nairas at the mid-market rate.

How to get paid from Deel in Nigeria
Open a Poplin US-dollar account from Nigeria
Sign up and verify your identity — free, no US company needed. Identity verification applies, and Nigeria needs some additional checks at signup. Your account comes with a US account number and routing number.
Add it to Deel as a Bank transfer method
In Deel, open Withdrawal Methods → Add method → Bank transfer, and enter your Poplin US account number and routing number.
Get paid in US dollars
Deel holds your contractor balance in US dollars and pays it to your Poplin account. Only you can move it — Poplin can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance.
Hold, or convert to Nigerian nairas
Keep your balance in US dollars, or convert to Nigerian nairas at the mid-market rate with no markup and pay out to a Nigerian bank over NIP — or send to a bank account across 191 countries.

Getting paid from Deel in Nigeria — FAQ
Payouts
Can Deel pay a Nigerian bank account directly?
Not directly. Deel can’t pay out to a Nigerian bank account directly — its local-transfer network doesn’t reach Nigeria — so contractors in Nigeria need a US-dollar account to receive their pay. The common workaround is to add a US-dollar account (a US account number and routing number) as your Deel Bank transfer method and receive your pay in US dollars. Check Deel’s current options, as availability changes.
Eligibility
How do I get paid from Deel in Nigeria without a US company?
Open a Poplin account from Nigeria — it’s in your own name, not a US entity, and comes with a US account number and routing number that Deel’s Bank transfer method can pay in US dollars. Identity verification applies, and Nigeria needs some additional checks at signup.
Stablecoin
Can I get paid from Deel in Nigeria in a stablecoin?
Yes. Deel also has a stablecoin payout, which Poplin can accept — useful if you want dollars without a bank in the middle. Deel charges a service fee plus a network fee for it, so check its current withdrawal fees before you choose. See the Accept payments page for how Poplin receives it.
Convert
How do I move my Deel dollars to a Nigerian bank account?
Convert your US dollars to Nigerian nairas at the mid-market rate with no markup and pay out to a Nigerian bank over NIP, arriving in real time for 1% + $1.00 on a personal account. The exact amount is shown before you confirm.
Safety
Is my money safe?
Your funds sit in your own account — not pooled, and never in Poplin’s hands. Poplin can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance; your account is secured with a passkey. Poplin is a service of Maash Inc., which is registered with FinCEN as a Money Services Business.
