Sending and receiving money from one country to another can be stressful especially for a novice who doesn’t know the things involved in making such transaction. Our banking systems have made it possible for customers to easily send and receive money from other countries with no stress. In this article, I will mention 3 ways a person can send money to Nigeria from USA:

-Through Western Union Transfer: Western Union transfer is a transfer system that allows one to easily send money from one country to another. To send money to Nigeria using Western Union Money Transfer, visit any of the banks in the U.S and request for a Western Union service. You will be given a form, enter your details and that of the person you are sending the money to, a secret number will be generated for you to send to the recipient.

- Wire Transfer: It is now possible to make a wire transfer through an intermediary bank to any bank account in Nigeria. This method of transaction works well with domiciliary accounts. The receipt has to send the Swift code of the Nigerian bank he or she is operating, and the money will be sent from a USA bank through an intermediary bank.
