How to send money from Finland to Nigeria

Pick a company

For a one-off EUR transfer to Nigeria, start with Wise.

Wise was the cheapest on 9 of the 29 days it quoted €7 000 transfers to Nigeria.

On a 7 000 EUR transfer, Wise delivers the most NGN.

The cheapest option depends on the amount, so I suggest to get the best EUR/NGN rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, and iDEAL.

Select how you want the recipient to pick up the money. For transfers to Nigeria they can receive it via bank deposit and mobile money.

Verify and send

If it's your first time using the service, you will need to verify your account.

This usually takes a few minutes to a few hours.

If your transfer is urgent, make sure to get it done beforehand to avoid any delays.

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €7,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what €7,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more NGN per EUR than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 27 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Wise pays 10 783 052,55 NGN on 7 000 EUR, which is 199 185,15 NGN more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 10 803 461,97 NGN.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Nigeria.

We've tracked 88 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 3 amounts over the past month.

  1. WiseAppeared in 85 comparisons

    Cheapest in 20% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 81 comparisons

    Cheapest in 44% of them

  3. XeAppeared in 53 comparisons

    Cheapest in 11% of them

Based on 88 comparisons across 3 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most NGN, but it was the cheapest in only 20% of the 85 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 44% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Nigeria.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with Wise, since it's the cheapest right now.

What to consider before sending money from Finland to Nigeria

For a transfer from Finland, compare the NGN received and check whether the payment is a taxable gift rather than ordinary family support.

Compare EUR/NGN transfer options

For a €7 000 transfer to Nigeria, these are the current cheapest, fastest and easiest options.

Cheapest

Wise is cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10 783 052,55 NGN, which is 0,48% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Revolut delivers 10 395 503,74 NGN in within minutes when you pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit.

Sending a gift from Finland can trigger gift tax

If you live in Finland and send someone abroad a cash gift, Finnish gift tax can still apply.

The recipient must file and pay the tax when gifts from you reach €7,500 or more within three years.

Education and maintenance costs may be exempt if you pay the university, landlord or other company directly.

Cash sent to the recipient is treated as a normal gift because they can spend it on anything.

Large transfers may take longer

Finnish banks and transfer companies can ask for the source and purpose of an unusual payment.

Keep the invoice, sale document or account statement ready.

SEPA Instant may fund the company's euro account quickly, but the company still needs to complete the payout in Nigeria.

Safety measures in Finland

An EEA company may be authorised in another country and operate in Finland through passporting.

If a company does not resolve a complaint, FINE provides guidance and dispute support for financial customers in Finland.

Never move money to a so-called safe account or approve an unexpected bank-identification request.

When in doubt, check the company in the FIN-FSA supervised-entities register.
