How much does it cost to send money abroad

NGN-to-USD, GBP, and EUR are Group A currency pairs, which means Grey's conversion fee is capped at $6 regardless of the transfer amount. On a large transfer, the effective fee percentage drops below 1%. NGN-to-KES is a direct intra-Africa corridor handled without routing through USD or GBP.

Every international transfer involves two costs: the visible fee and the exchange rate margin. Most services hide their margin in the rate, so a transfer advertised as zero fees can quietly cost more than one with a transparent fee. The only way to compare providers accurately is to look at what your recipient actually receives in their local currency, not the fee number alone.

Grey shows both numbers separately before you tap Send: the transfer fee and the exchange rate applied to your transfer. You see exactly what your recipient will receive in their local currency before you confirm. There are no adjustments after the fact.

Best way to send money internationally from Nigeria

If total cost matters most
Compare what your recipient actually receives, not just the advertised fee. Grey shows the rate and fee separately. Banks bundle the margin into the exchange rate, making the true cost invisible. The best way to transfer money internationally is the one where your recipient gets the most.
If speed matters most
Transfers to the UK and Europe typically arrive within minutes from a funded Grey balance. Transfers to the US take 1-2 business days via ACH. Kenya M-Pesa transfers arrive in under a minute.
If you need more than just transfers
Grey is the only provider in this comparison that also gives you a multi-currency balance to hold USD, GBP, EUR, and NGN, virtual cards for online payments, and GreyTag for free transfers to other Grey users that typically arrive within seconds. One app, more than one job.
CBN-licensed partners
Grey operates through CBN-licensed banking partners in Nigeria. Grey is a financial technology company, not a bank. Every transfer is processed under Nigerian financial regulations.

What currencies can I send from Nigeria with Grey?

Grey currently supports NGN-to-USD (United States), NGN-to-GBP (United Kingdom), NGN-to-EUR (30 European countries via SEPA), and NGN-to-KES (Kenya via M-Pesa or bank account). All four corridors show the live exchange rate and fee before you confirm. The NGN-to-USD, GBP, and EUR conversion fee is capped at $6 regardless of the transfer amount. NGN-to-KES is a direct intra-Africa corridor with no USD or GBP routing.

Your Nigerian NGN converts to USD and lands in your recipient's US bank account. They receive it as a standard ACH credit. No foreign account needed on your end.
Your NGN converts to GBP and arrives in your recipient's UK bank account via Faster Payments, typically within minutes. No UK account required on your end.
Western Union lets you send NGN to cash pickup locations in some markets, but charges a higher combined fee and exchange rate margin than Grey on most corridors. Grey delivers directly to bank accounts and mobile wallets with a transparent fee shown before you confirm.
PayPal and Xoom support some NGN send corridors but are not available for Nigeria outbound transfers in most markets. Grey supports NGN-to-USD, GBP, EUR, and KES with the live rate and fee shown before every transfer.
