The best way to send NGN to Papua New Guinea is to use cash transfer via Western Union

We’ve analysed 100s of money transfer companies, and found that the overall coverage of NGN/PGK transfers is very limited for online transfers.

This is why we suggest sending cash as an alternative, using Western Union.

The transfer fees depend on which branch you use and how much you send, but overall you can expect to pay around 3 NGN for a 360,000 NGN transfer.

Depending on where you are, we suggest checking Western Union to see what deposit methods you have available.

In many cases you can deposit NGN online and the recipient in Papua New Guinea will need to visit a branch to pick up PGK.
