Good evening great minds,

Please,I lost my mother and my friend from US wants to support me with money.

I don't know, maybe he hasn't done it before as he was born there.

I asked him to use WorldRemit to send to my 1st bank account , but he tried to send but he said the transaction failed.

Please is there better way he will use to send me the money.

The burial is next tomorrow 29th November.

Thanks all

1. Online Money Transfer Services
These platforms are fast and widely used:

Wise (formerly TransferWise): Offers low fees and favorable exchange rates. Funds are usually sent to Nigerian bank accounts.

WorldRemit: Allows transfers directly to bank accounts, mobile wallets, or for cash pickup.

Remitly: Offers different speed options, including instant transfers for higher fees.

Sendwave: Designed specifically for sending money to Africa with no transfer fees and competitive exchange rates.

2. Banks
Your friend can send money via wire transfer through their bank, but this method can be more expensive and slower compared to online services.
Some US banks have partnerships with Nigerian banks (e.g., GTBank or Access Bank).

3. PayPal
If both you and your friend have PayPal accounts, they can transfer money, and you can withdraw it to a Nigerian bank account linked to your PayPal.

4. Western Union or MoneyGram
These services allow your friend to send money that can be picked up at any branch or agent location in Nigeria. They can also send directly to your bank account.

5. Cryptocurrency
If you and your friend are familiar with crypto, they can send funds using Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USDT. You can then convert it to Nigerian Naira using a local exchange like Binance or Luno.

6. Mobile Money Services
Some platforms, like Paga or Opay, accept international remittances. Your friend can use integrated services like WorldRemit to send money directly to these wallets.

What Your Friend Needs:
Recipient’s Information: Full name, phone number, and bank details (if applicable).

Transfer Service Account: Registration and verification may be required.
Payment Method: Credit/debit card, bank account, or cash (depending on the service).

Considerations:
Exchange Rates: Compare rates to get the best value.

Fees: Choose a service with reasonable fees for the amount being sent.
Delivery Time: Some methods are instant, while others take 1-5 business days.

Remitly is good

Thanks

Taptap send app. It’s easy and instant.

Omo!!! What a topic!

Me sha I've been using UNIGOX to send money home and it's been a lifesaver! The fees are way lower compared to Western Union and Wise. Plus, the exchange rates are competitive. If you're looking to save some cash on remittances, it might be worth checking out, trust me. There's a good breakdown of the costs on their Medium article here- https://medium.com/@alexgrape/send-money-to-nigeria-how-to-send-fast-cheap-875c0dc3615c
