I started the invoicing method for my business yesterday. I realized that a lot of people love to argue about one thing or the other and that’s basically because I don’t get to write down the goods they bought so I chose the invoicing method

Its very important for business. It helps to track finances, makes accounting and auditing super easy. Its difficult to run and grow a small business without a proper invoicing strategy.

Blackroll is a great fintech infrastructure. Aiming to provide seamless services to users is important.

Sure they are

Wow, this is really helpful @fokusnow. As a freelancer, I'm always on the lookout for easy and affordable ways to get paid by overseas clients. Being a Nigerian hurts when it gets to this point.

So Blackroll sounds like it could be a total game-changer. The virtual debit card, dynamic wallet features; being able to hold and convert different currencies seamlessly is a huge plus. And the invoicing tool is genius for keeping my finances organized.

I'll definitely be checking out Blackroll to see if it could work for me and recommend it to others as well. Anything that makes cross-border payments less of a headache is a winner in my book.

Thank you for sharing

Sure dear fren, our nationality is a challenge in all fronts - not less as a freelancer. Even from within our own system, we are being pushed to fall. Not too long ago, I discovered to my horror that our debit cards with Master card logo have been blocked from making dollar payments online. I couldn't complete a course order from Udemy. It was a service like Blackroll that bailed me out. That was when I started looking for options that cover receiving dollar payments as a freelancer.

Blackroll looks decent and they seem to have great reviews too. I will be trying them out too as I just discovered them and decided to share first.

Will be looking forward to us sharing feedbacks.

You are so late to the party. It's been years. I think two years since our naira card stopped paying for stuff online. I have been using chipper cash to run dollar-naira online payments, I will check out Blackroll too since my chipper cash card is expiring soon.

Its a sad situation. Yes I used Chipper cash not too long ago too. These are our escape routes.

I wonder why those that make and implement all these laws fail to see the problems they create as a result - and the economic damage they cause too.
