Sending money from Canada to Nigeria
In Nigeria, a bank transfer to a local naira (NGN) account is the most common way to receive money, alongside a growing set of wallet and mobile options.
Nigeria has a well-known gap between the official and parallel exchange rates, so the rate you get can vary widely between providers — comparing the effective (all-in) rate matters more here than on almost any other route.
When you send Canadian Dollar (CAD) to Nigeria, most of the cost is the exchange-rate markup baked into the rate, not the upfront fee.
