Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA) is a foreign exchange system set up by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for Nigerians traveling abroad to get access to foreign exchange at a favorable rate. This way, Nigerians do not have to go through the black market to get what they want. The CBN allocates a certain volume of foreign exchange to commercial banks to carry out this exercise.
