Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send ₦360,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what ₦360,000 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 CUP per NGN than the mid-market rate can offer.

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

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of CUP on every transfer from Nigeria.

Right now, MoneyGram Agent pays 5,775.43 CUP on 360,000 NGN, which is 624.65 CUP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 5,878.74 CUP.

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.

Cheapest over time

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 Cuba.

We've tracked 235 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

  1. MoneyGram AgentAppeared in 109 comparisons

    Cheapest in 73% of them

  2. Western Union AgentAppeared in 109 comparisons

    Cheapest in 27% of them

Based on 235 comparisons across 8 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 MoneyGram Agent is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Ways to fund NGN and receive CUP in Cuba

With MoneyGram Agent, paying by bank transfer and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending ₦360,000 gives your recipient 5,775.43 CUP.

For paying in NGN, you can use bank transfer.

I suggest funding the NGN side by bank transfer

Use bank transfer to add NGN from your Nigerian account.

NIP moves the money to the specialist within Nigeria, then the specialist handles the cross-border transfer to Cuba over internal network.

They can receive CUP using bank deposit.

To receive money as bank deposit (straight to their bank account), enter their bank and account details in Cuba.

Things to know before sending NGN to Cuba

Sending money out of Nigeria is an access-to-FX problem first. The cheapest quote only matters if the company can legally accept NGN from a Nigerian resident.

Compare the available NGN/CUP options

There are 2 companies available for a ₦360,000 transfer to Cuba, so the shortlist is smaller than it is for money coming into Nigeria.

Cheapest way to send money to Cuba

The cheapest option is MoneyGram Agent, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 5,775.43 CUP, which is 0.03% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Cuba

The fastest option is MoneyGram Agent. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 5,775.43 CUP in minutes - 3 days.

NIP stops at the Nigerian border

NIP can move NGN from your bank to the transfer company within Nigeria, but it does not send the money to Cuba.

The company still needs an approved cross-border route for the conversion and payout.

For a bank wire, money already held in a domiciliary account is generally easier to document than foreign currency bought informally and deposited as cash.

Check the CBN licence

Use the CBN's licensed institution records and confirm that the service is authorised for money transfers.

Do not send naira to a personal account or an unknown USDT seller because the quoted rate is better.

If the transfer fails, there may be no real way to recover it.

How we analyse the market

Only companies licensed to send money out of Nigeria make this table, which rules out most of the apps you'll see advertised.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 235 comparisons across 8 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for NGN/CUP transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.

We track 2 of them on NGN to CUP, comparing rates, fees and how the money is paid in and collected. Each goes through our review first.
