How to send money from Ethiopia to Nigeria
Sending money from Ethiopia to Nigeria doesn’t have a huge amount of options. Because of this, we suggest sending money via:
An agent like Western Union, MoneyGram, or Ria Money Transfer
Wise (USD/USD or EUR/EUR transfers)
Send cash to Nigeria from Ethiopia
Agents are physical stores where you hand in ETB as cash and the receiver picks it up from the store in Nigeria.
Western Union Agent
We suggest using Western Union agent as it's reputable, fast, and is partnered with multiple banks in Ethiopia.
The fees and rates will vary from day to day and based on your transfer amount, but it's still much cheaper than using your bank directly.
To get started, find the closest WU agent using the store locator, fill in the forms at the counter, pay for your transfer and let the recipient know.
Most transfers will be available for collection the same day, but sometimes can take up to a few days.
