What is the Ugandan shilling to naira rate today?

The live rate is at the top of this page, refreshed within the last 30 minutes. The naira figure you see before sending is exactly what your recipient receives.

Can I pay into OPay, PalmPay or Kuda?

Yes. Those are fintech accounts with bank-style account numbers, so they work like any Nigerian bank here. Pick the provider and enter the account number.

Why can't I send to mobile money in Nigeria?

Nigeria has no mobile money payout rail. Money there moves between bank and fintech accounts over NIP, which is why this corridor asks for an account number rather than a phone number.

How much does it cost?

The rate is shown before you send and the Nigerian bank payout fee is ₦58. Sending to another Eversend wallet is free.

How long does it take?

About a minute at the median for Nigerian bank payouts, measured over our last 90 days of successful transfers. Your first transfer can take longer while your identity is verified once.
