How to send money from Italy to Nigeria

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Nigeria, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Wise.

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

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best EUR/NGN rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to fund your transfer: bank transfer, ideal, debit card, and credit card.

Sending money to Nigeria directly with SEPA is expensive, but using it to fund the money transfer account, since its cheap and quick.

You can also use a debit card to fund the transfer, including the Postepay card.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need your codice fiscale and a photo ID to verify your account.

Ways to send money from Italy to Nigeria

3 companies send money from Italy to Nigeria. You can send EUR via app, multi-currency account, global account, online, and broker, and more below.

Regular transfers

Money transfer apps

For the regular transfer home, an app like Wise is the easiest and most convenient option.

Wise charges €46.96 on a €7,000 transfer, and 10,833,323.03 NGN lands in within minutes.

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

Outside the euro transfers, a bank transfer passes through intermediary banks, and each one can take a cut along the way.

Online services skip this and use their own network (it’s much cheaper).

Wise delivers 10,833,323.03 NGN on €7,000 with a €46.96 fee and -3.06% markup.

Sending large sums

Currency brokers

Managed services charge no fees and work on margin instead, and the more you send to Nigeria, the better rate you will get.

Regency FX charges no fee and adds 0.27% on EUR/NGN rate.

Travelling and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

If you travel to Nigeria often, or receive payments from there, this is the best option.

Multi-currency accounts let you hold EUR and NGN in one account, and give you local details.

I suggest trying Wise.

It holds EUR and NGN balances and charges small fees to convert between them.

For business payments

Global accounts

Global accounts are for businesses and freelancers with a partita IVA, paying suppliers abroad, invoicing foreign clients, holding a few currencies.

A few good options are Wise Business, Airwallex, and Payoneer.

Ways to fund EUR and receive NGN in Nigeria

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 10,833,323.03 NGN.

In Italy, you can pay by bank transfer, ideal, debit card, and credit card.

Satispay and Bancomat Pay are mainly domestic payment methods, they do not send NGN to Nigeria by themselves.

In Nigeria, the recipient can use bank deposit.

Consider this when sending money from Italy to NGN

For a transfer from Italy, compare the amount received first. Then check whether you are making a SEPA payment, an extra-SEPA transfer or a cash-agent remittance, because each works differently.

Compare money transfer options

These are the leading options for a €7,000 transfer to Nigeria.

Cheapest way to send money to Nigeria

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,833,323.03 NGN, which is 2.62% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Nigeria

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,407,929.16 NGN, with the money arriving in within minutes.

SEPA only covers the first leg

A bonifico can move euros from your Italian bank to the transfer company through SEPA.

Companies like Wise then convert the money into NGN and pay your recipient in Nigeria through a local bank, a wallet, or a cash-pickup network.

SEPA may fund the transfer quickly, but the delivery time depends on the local payout method.

Check the agent when paying in person

In Italy, the term "money transfer" often means a cash-agent shop rather than an online bank transfer.

The Banca d'Italia confirms that money remittance must be provided by a bank, electronic money institution or authorised payment institution.

Their Italian agents must appear in the OAM register.

Prepare for anti-money-laundering checks

Italian banks and transfer companies can pause a large, unusual or poorly explained payment while they check its purpose and source.

Use a clear causale and keep the document that explains the money ready.

For property proceeds, tuition or moving savings, tell the bank before the transfer is due.

If a payment-service complaint is not resolved directly, the Arbitro Bancario Finanziario is the Italian financial ombudsman route.
