How to send money from Nigeria to Tanzania
Sending money from Nigeria to Tanzania 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
Send cash to Tanzania from Nigeria
Agents are physical stores where you hand in NGN as cash and the receiver picks it up from the store in Tanzania.
Western Union Agent
We suggest using Western Union agent as it's reputable, fast, and is partnered with multiple banks in Nigeria.
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.
