The ways to send

Apps — naira in, riyals out to a bank or wallet where supported.
Bank transfer for documented purposes such as trade, tuition or travel.
An FX partner for larger, business-size payments.

Rate and documentation

The riyal is pegged to the dollar, so your NGN→SAR rate really tracks the US dollar rate — compare the riyals or dollars delivered, not the fee. For pilgrimage and travel, use Form A and keep your documentation.
