How Nigerian senders reach Chile
Start from the recipient's side. Someone in Santiago needs a fixed sum in Chilean pesos by a fixed date, and they bank with Banco de Chile or another local bank. A rare corridor: scholarship students, mining professionals and importers of Chilean wine and fruit.
Grey works backwards from that: enter the CLP figure, see the NGN cost from Lagos, and send. The rate holds.
How sending to Chile works
Sign up
One NIN slip, BVN or international passport and a few minutes is all it takes to open Grey in Lagos. Grey works with licensed partners in Nigeria and is registered with the CBN.
Fund
Move naira in by bank transfer from any Nigerian bank from GTBank, Access Bank, Zenith, UBA or First Bank. Or send from USD, EUR or GBP you already hold on Grey.
Send
Chile asks for the recipient's RUT alongside their bank and account number. Enter all three, confirm the CLP amount, and send.
Two numbers, both shown first
With Grey, a sender in Lagos sees three numbers before confirming: the NGN debited, the fee, and the CLP that reaches Santiago. None of them change afterwards.
CLP amount held from send to settlement
Enter the CLP amount first if the recipient's figure is what matters. Grey shows the NGN cost from Lagos and locks it.
The person at Banco de Chile sees exactly the sum you agreed.
The corridor most banks won't touch
Between Lagos and Santiago, the problem is well known. Ask a bank to send Chilean pesos and you'll usually be told to send dollars and let the recipient sort it out. That pushes the cost onto the person in Santiago. From Lagos, Grey does the conversion transparently and delivers CLP as a domestic credit at Banco de Chile or any other bank.
CLP into the account, nothing else
The CLP posts directly to the recipient's own account at any Chilean bank, including Banco de Chile, BancoEstado, Santander Chile, BCI. To them it looks like a domestic credit. The sender in Abuja sees it settle in the app.
Works with every Chilean bank
From Banco de Chile to the smallest regional lender.
Looks local to them
A CLP deposit on their statement, nothing more.
Grey optional on their side
Unless they want GreyTag, which is instant and free.
Topping up in Lagos
Most Nigerian senders top up in naira and convert to CLP on the day. Nigerians top up in naira by bank transfer from GTBank, Access, Zenith, UBA or any other Nigerian bank, and the balance usually shows within minutes. Anyone paid in dollars by a foreign client can send from that USD balance and skip the naira leg.
Local rail
Fund by bank transfer from any Nigerian bank.
Business income
Revenue in naira or dollars funds the next payment to Santiago.
Existing balance
Already funded? Convert to CLP and send in the same session.
For a Nigerian sender, being able to convert to CLP at the exact moment you choose is worth more than any fee saving.
Who sends from Nigeria to Chile

Living costs for students at Universidad de Chile, PUC and Universidad de Concepción.
Freelancers and contractors
Payments to Chilean developers, designers and consultants in pesos.
Family

A mixed corridor for senders in Lagos and Abuja. A rare corridor: scholarship students, mining professionals and importers of Chilean wine and fruit. Amounts range from a monthly allowance to a full supplier invoice.
Why send to Chile with Grey
A corridor like Nigeria to Chile is won on the tenth transfer, not the first. The tenth is where a bad rate has quietly cost a sender in Lagos a month's worth of Chilean pesos.
Nothing is deducted on arrival. What Banco de Chile credits is the CLP figure you saw in Lagos. [VERIFY CLP local payout live: Notion DB says No, Slack May 12 says testing complete]
