Yeah,like sending to a relative then he or she will receive it and help you pay. As for the rate,u will have to check the bank and confirm from them. First confirm if dey send money via moneygram cos not all banks do. As at today (25th July) moneygram according to abokifx.com is 391naira to a pound. But check your bank and find out,cos right now Form A is a big issue.

Whatamidoinghere:

OK
But when sending, I can make use of OANDA to check rate?

Whatamidoinghere:
After sending to a relative, what are the documents he/she needs to present to the school?

justwise:

June.

essayHelp:


Thanks for your response.

Do you have any info on how the person was able to accomplish that?

Regards.

mzsI:
I think its 398, or have i missed something? your best bet is to put over and above what you would normally need to hedge against exchange rate movement then start counting 28 days over or just hope the rates would come down.

justwise:


You follow the school time table for everything, pass all your modules, start your final project on time and submit on time.

There you go.

fizzile:
I think he or she will step into the bank where the school has an account and pay in, just like we do here too. The person will need your full name and student ID number. Then he or she will send the payment details to you, of which you will forward to the school by mail. If the person is in the town where d school is located,he or she can help you visit the finance office of d school to complete the transaction.

fizzile:
Meehhnn not funny at all. Am just hoping after the CBN announces the new forex policy,it shoud favour us.

elope:

fizzile:
Before the end of the day.

Using moneygram, what are the differences??
Though I know it might not take a long process, but whats the charging fee?
Like sending to a relative through moneygram

OlowoB:


Moneygram? well i will not try to discourage you but i hope you know that money gram has a limit of $1000 (if it has not changed yet)... how much of that will you send to get about lets say £4,000? I also know that money gram can only be sent by one person by quarter, so you will have to use multiple number of persons to get the required amount of money you have.

A friend of mine who bought a car in USA as at February using multiple number of persons this year sent money from Nigeria and the money that was received in USA was $930 (instead of $1,000... i guess their charges). So the question is how much of that can you send to get the required amount of pounds?

Not all banks or branches do money gram and also the banks that even do it may not do more than 2 transactions in a day.

Form A is still the cheapest means but it has become increasingly difficult at the moment due to the number of students trying to use int now and limited Forex by CBN. I can't count the number of students that have complained to me about Form A, that is why i suggested in my former post that people should consider other means if you are in a hurry to pay your fees and receive your CAS.

What about using form A, in favour of someone you know in that bank??
Hope it will work fine, knowing someone can help right

Cause am confused right now...

fizzile:
This is serious. Never thought of that ooo. What sort of badluck is this? I have a balance of about £5500 to pay up. Have paid the first instalment and part of the second installment. The balance of the second installment is to be paid up on or before registration, while the last installment is to be paid up in January. So whats your best suggestion so that i can start planning towards it. The rate at the moment is not smiling. Its really crazy. Please suggest. It will surely help other guys.

Obviously you can still use Form A but try and give enough time to process, At least 3 weeks. Also don't get it twisted, some people are still using Form A steady (provided you have connections). How do you think all these politicians are paying fees for their kids?

If you want to pay your fees like within a week or 2, i would not recommend Form A as it is unpredictable.

@fizzile, i dont know what other means o, just quickly use the Form A to pay the balance since you still have time on your side or you pray that the rates go down.

Imagine as at today, to buy pounds here in Uk is about 495 naira. I seriously pity students (and their parents) coming to Uk at this moment. For the first time i have to admit it that Buhari and Osinbajo has failed naija. The change is indeed negative

fizzile:
Postgrad...you?

Am still confused. What's all about this MPR, increasing from 12%-14%??
