How fast does money reach Rwanda?

About 47 seconds at the median, measured over our last 90 days of successful transfers. Rwanda is the fastest payout rail we run, faster than our Nigerian bank rail.

Can I send to a Rwandan bank account?

Not today. Rwanda pays out to mobile money wallets, MTN and Airtel, and to Eversend wallets. We would rather say that plainly than list a bank option that fails at the last step.

What is the naira to Rwandan franc rate?

The live rate is at the top of this page, refreshed within the last 30 minutes. The franc amount shown before you send is what your recipient receives.

How much does it cost?

The rate is shown upfront and the mobile money payout fee is FRw 200. Sending to another Eversend wallet is free.

Does my recipient need the Eversend app?

No. They receive on their existing MTN or Airtel wallet with nothing to install. If they do have Eversend, the transfer is instant and free.

Send money from Nigeria to Rwanda.

The short answer

A naira bank transfer in Lagos becomes an MTN or Airtel wallet credit in Kigali faster than most domestic payments finish: about 47 seconds at the median, the quickest arrival on our network. Nigeria funds by bank, Rwanda receives by phone number, and the NGN to RWF figure is fixed on screen before the send exists.
