Why is this called a two-way corridor?

Because money genuinely flows in both directions between Rwanda and Nigeria on Eversend, which is rare for African pairs. Traders settle invoices northwest-bound here while families send southeast-bound on the twin page, and both directions price from the same live market.

How is the RWF to NGN rate set?

From the live market rate for the pair, refreshed within the last 30 minutes and displayed before you send. There is no printed margin percentage; the naira figure previewed is the commitment.

What if I enter the wrong account number?

The account holder's name is displayed before you confirm, so a wrong number shows you a stranger's name instead of your recipient's and you simply cancel. Nothing moves until you approve the name you see.

Which direction is busier, Kigali to Lagos or the reverse?

The reverse: Nigeria to Rwanda carries roughly 20,000 transfers a year and lands in Rwandan wallets in about 47 seconds, the quickest arrival we measure. This page is its return road, and both share the same live market.

Send money from Rwanda to Nigeria.

The short answer

You can send Rwandan francs to Nigeria with Eversend, funded from MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money, and the naira lands in any Nigerian bank or fintech account over the NIP rail in about a minute. This route runs both ways on Eversend: money moves Kigali to Lagos here, and Lagos to Kigali on its twin corridor. The RWF to NGN rate is shown before you confirm.
