First Bank changes PTA, BTA policy for school, upkeep fees

First Bank of Nigeria (FBN) has reviewed its Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA) policy, as dollar scarcity continues to force banks to make changes to foreign exchange payment, IgbereTV reports

The financial institution said its FirstBank Travel Card will now receive Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA) when applied for by the firm’s customers.

In an email, titled “Updates on FX Purchase” and sent to First Bank account holders, the lender said payments for both PTA and BTA are only made for two quarters a year, with a supporting Form A document that makes the applicant eligible.

First Bank stated that only $15,000 will be made available for school feed application for each semester, and for a maximum of two semesters per session. The processing is completed after at least 30 days.

However, for upkeep, the commercial bank disclosed that only $3,000 or its equivalent in other foreign currencies will be made available each semester, but a maximum of two semesters per session. The processing is done after at least 30 days.

Part of the statement reads, “The full Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA) ($4,000 and $5,000) respectively will now be disbursed into your FirstBank Travel Card. All applications will be in line with Regulatory Requirements
