Why do I fund from a bank but they receive on a phone?

Because the two countries bank differently. Nigeria moves money between bank and fintech accounts over NIP; Tanzania runs on mobile money. Eversend speaks both rails, which is the point of this corridor.

What is the naira to Tanzanian shilling rate?

The live rate is at the top of this page, refreshed within the last 30 minutes. The TZS amount you preview is what lands.

How long does it take?

About a minute at the median for Tanzanian mobile money, measured over our last 90 days of transfers. Your first send adds one-time verification.

Can money come back from Tanzania to Nigeria?

Yes, the reverse corridor has its own page: mobile money funds it in Tanzania and the naira lands in a Nigerian bank or fintech account with a name check.

The short answer

You can send naira to Tanzania with Eversend, topping up by bank transfer from your Nigerian account, and the Tanzanian shillings land on the recipient's mobile money wallet in about a minute. Note the asymmetry: Nigeria has no mobile money, Tanzania runs on it, so you fund from a bank and they receive on a phone. The NGN to TZS rate is shown before you confirm.
