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.

Can I pay a Nigerian supplier from Uganda this way?

Yes, if they are paid to a bank or fintech account, which is how Nigerian businesses take payment anyway. The name-check before you commit is useful here: you see the account holder's registered name and can match it to your invoice.

What happens if I get the account number wrong?

Usually nothing bad, because the account holder's name comes back before you commit and a wrong number shows a stranger's name. That check is on every Nigerian payout and it is the reason misdirected transfers are rare on this route.

Send money from Uganda to Nigeria.

The short answer

You can send Ugandan shillings to Nigeria with Eversend, funded from MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or a Ugandan bank transfer. The naira lands in any Nigerian bank account, or a fintech account like OPay or Moniepoint, in about a minute over the NIP rail. The UGX to NGN rate is shown before you confirm. It runs the same from Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja or Mbarara, and lands the same in Lagos, Abuja, Kano or Port Harcourt: the rail does not care which city either end sits in.
