Best methods from the UK
- Specialist apps (Wise, Lemfi, Grey, Sendwave) — strong GBP→NGN rates, deposit to bank or wallet, often same-day.
- UK bank transfer to a Nigerian dom account — good for big, less frequent sums.
- Western Union / MoneyGram — cash pickup for recipients without easy bank access.
