How to send money from Malaysia to Nigeria

Pick a company

I suggest starting with Wise which is the cheapest option for sending RM8,200.

Fund your transfer

There are a few ways to fund your transfer, including bank transfer, fpx, and debit card.

DuitNow and FPX are most common, both free and instant from your banking app.

First time round you'll need your IC, or a passport and permit if you're a foreign worker.

Run a new recipient's account through Semak Mule before you send to confirm their details.

Things to check before sending MYR to Nigeria

Transfers and overseas investments are different

Malaysia's Foreign Exchange Policy does not impose the overseas-investment limit on an ordinary payment for family support, education, goods or services.

Different rules can apply when a resident converts ringgit to invest in foreign-currency assets, particularly if they have domestic ringgit borrowing.

Bank Negara Malaysia keeps the current FEP rules and notices here.

Documents needed

A bank or licensed money services business can ask what the payment is for and where the money came from.

Keep the quote, receipt and any supporting invoice or employment record to hand over if needed.

Check the recipient before you send

For a new bank account, check the recipient details through the Royal Malaysia Police Semak Mule service first.

Only use a bank or money transfer service regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Check the company in BNM's list of licensed MSB operators before paying an unfamiliar agent.

If you realise you have sent money to a scammer, contact your bank and call the National Scam Response Centre on 997.
