How to Transfer Money from Canada to Nigeria

Every year, thousands of Nigerians migrate to Canada to settle for education, work and overall better opportunities. These immigrants continue to seek ways to send money back to their loved ones in Nigeria.

Fortunately, the SanaTransfer has made it easy and cheap for people in Canada to send money to their loved ones in Nigeria. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to transfer money from Canada to Nigeria using the SanaTransfer app.

What are the Ways to Transfer Money from Canada to Nigeria?

Before we dive into the details of how to transfer money from Canada to Nigeria, here are some conventional ways Canadians send money to Nigeria:

1. Bank transfer from Canada to Nigeria

Most Canadian banks will allow you to wire cash internationally online. You can do this by visiting the nearest bank branch or over the phone when you contact customer service. Alternatively, you can transfer via your bank’s online platform. Transfers to NGN will be transmitted directly from your Canadian bank account to the Nigerian recipient's local bank account.

However, this is very expensive, making it the least preferred by most individuals.

2. Walk into a money transmitter service branch

Numerous specialist money transmitter services operate through big branches and agent networks. So anyone who wants to send money to Nigeria can just visit a physical money transmitter service store and pay your NGN in cash. This cash will be sent to your recipient.

On the other hand, physical cash transfer is plagued with the issue of insecurity as sending cash crossborder isn't the best option based on speed and deliverability.  

3. Send money online through a transfer service provider

There are several options to choose from if you prefer to transfer money online via your smartphone. SanaTransfer arguably offers the best money transfer service in Canada due to its blend of fast transfer speeds and affordable rates.
