Does Western Union Still Function In Nigerian Banks? by Verance: 10:08pm On May 21, 2020 |
Good day everyone, A good friend resident in the United States sent me a token ($100) a couple of weeks ago (during the Lagos lockdown) which I wasn't able to retrieve as at when it was wired because money transfers were not part of the skeletal services banks offered during the lockdown. Now post lockdown, I have visited several branches of my bank, Zenith Bank, but right from the gate, the security officers will tell me that I can't do a WU transaction, reason being "no network" or "no service". So I concluded that maybe Zenith Bank has issues with WU So I decided to try my long abandoned bank, Ecobank. In the particular branch I went to (Ojo), the security officers were simply rude and unruly, and only interested in their own shady deals due to the massive crowd at the gate. I managed to get the attention of one of them to ask if I can do WU transaction. He went in to confirm and affirmed I can but must wait. That 's how I waited for several outside the gate in the sun and couldn't even gain entrance to the bank to no avail. He and the other security officers won't even look at my side again. Please I wish to know if WU transactions still works, also, is there any means of someone in the US sending money directly to a Nigerian bank account? If possible, I may have to ask my friend to cancel the transaction from the States, get a refund and use this option, for visiting the bank these days is a nightmare. Please, this $100 is very crucial for me and my family, for I am a private school teacher and have been off work since March 21, and life has not been funny at all. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why can’t he send direct to your bank account? |

There are websites/apps that can allow one to send funds from the US directly to your Nigerian bank account.(with charges though). I'd rather not suggest any specific, You can do a Google search and make a choice. |

YOUNGELDER1: Individual is American, and so doesn't know how that works. He is only aware of WU and Money gram. |

Abyima:I don't have an access bank account. You can only access the service from a bank you have an account with. |

Verance:Oh sorry. One of my sis withdrew from access this week. Why not tell the person to send it to someone you know, so he/she can help you. |

Verance: Ok . Nice to know you got your money. World Remit is a very reliable money transfer company. You can send money from Europe, USA, Canada etc to Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Many Nigerian banks work with World Remit. World Remit rates are also good. The money you send will be placed in the recipient's bank account directly. The money will reflect in the current or savings account of the person you are sending the funds to in about 5-15 mins. www.worldremit.com Cheers. 1 Like |

If you have Gtbank or Register with Quickteller and receive your WU Transaction online into your bank account. |

Verance: When you go to a bank to make enquiries it's not the security office you should be speaking to. All your questions should be directed at the Customer Service Officer (CSO) |

Hey peeps had a nice time reading replies here. Pls I i want to ask does world remit still deposit money to Nigeria Naira accounts from USA? When I tried in 2021 it show they can only send money to Nigeria once you provide a dollar account. |
