How to Send Money from Nigeria to the UK: Methods, Rates and Rules

12 October 2026 - Naira Briefing

Sending money out of Nigeria to the UK — for tuition, rent, family support or a property deposit — runs into FX rules that inbound transfers never see. Getting it right means the right channel, the right paperwork, and a fair naira to pound rate.

The allowed ways to send

Your bank’s outward transfer — for documented purposes (school fees, medical, PTA/BTA) through Form A.
Fintech apps (Lemfi, Grey, Afriex) — naira in, pounds out to a UK account where supported.
An FX partner — for larger, legitimate transfers settled cleanly.

Rate and documentation

Compare the pounds delivered per naira against the live GBP to Naira rate, and keep evidence of purpose — tuition invoices, tenancy agreements — because outward FX is documented. See sending money from Nigeria abroad for the wider rules on sending abroad.
