- The exchange rate and all fees are shown before you confirm.
- Bank deposit, mobile wallet and cash pickup payouts are supported, subject to availability for your transfer.
How to send money to Nigeria from Germany
- Enter the amount you want to send and choose the currency the recipient will receive. For a local payout in Nigeria, look for Nigerian naira (NGN) in the app.
- Add the recipient using their full legal name, then choose an available payout method. Enter the bank account, wallet or pickup details requested for that method.
- Review the exchange rate, fees, recipient details and estimated arrival time. Confirm and pay, then track the transfer’s status in Coinepay.
Check every detail with the recipient before confirming. A name that does not match the receiving account or ID, or an incorrect account number, can delay a transfer or cause a bank deposit to be returned.
How long does a transfer to Nigeria from Germany take?
Transfers to Nigeria from Germany can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and destination country, including the receiving bank or provider; the estimated arrival time is shown in the app before you confirm.
| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposit | A Nigerian bank account in their name and the account details requested in the app. | Receiving-bank processing, local banking schedules and account-detail checks. |
| Mobile wallet, such as SmartCash/Airtel where available | An eligible wallet registered in their name and the wallet identifier requested in the app. | Wallet-provider processing, eligibility and identity checks. |
| Cash pickup | Acceptable government-issued ID and the transfer or tracking details needed by the pickup provider. | Pickup-location hours and verification of the recipient’s identity and transfer details. |
Receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details can all affect speed. If Coinepay requests more information, respond through the appropriate app or support channel and follow the transfer status rather than assuming the original estimate still applies.
How much does it cost to send money to Nigeria from Germany?
Coinepay shows the exchange rate and every fee in the app before you confirm the transfer. Review both the amount you pay and the amount the recipient is expected to receive; the amount sent, currency choice and payout method can affect the total. If the recipient is receiving a bank deposit, ask them to check whether their own bank charges an incoming fee. Do not rely on an earlier quote when preparing a new transfer: review the figures displayed for the transfer you are about to confirm.
Ways to receive money in Nigeria from Germany
Choose from the payout methods offered for your transfer in the app. Availability can depend on the receiving provider, recipient details and applicable local rules.
Bank deposit to a Nigerian account
Ask the recipient for the account-holder name exactly as recorded by their bank, the bank name and their 10-digit Nigeria Uniform Bank Account Number (NUBAN). Enter a bank code or other bank identifier if the app requests one. A local Nigerian bank payout generally uses the requested bank details and NUBAN; do not substitute an IBAN, as Nigeria does not use a national IBAN format. If you are arranging a separate direct international bank wire rather than the payout offered in Coinepay, the receiving bank may instead ask for its SWIFT/BIC and intermediary-bank instructions.
SmartCash/Airtel mobile wallet
SmartCash/Airtel is an example of a Nigerian mobile-wallet destination. If it appears as an available option for your transfer, ask the recipient to confirm the name on the wallet and the wallet details the app requests. Check eligibility and the recipient details before paying; do not assume a phone number alone is sufficient or that every wallet can receive every transfer.
Cash pickup
If cash pickup is offered, enter the recipient’s legal name exactly as it appears on their acceptable government-issued ID. After confirming, share the pickup instructions and required tracking details with the recipient through a private channel. They should bring their ID and follow the provider’s instructions at the designated location. Cash availability and eligibility are subject to Nigerian rules and the options shown for the transfer; an account payout may be required in some circumstances.
What you need to send money to Nigeria from Germany
- A verified Coinepay account: Register and complete identity verification before using the service as required. Use your real identity and accurate details.
- The recipient’s full legal name: It should match their bank or wallet account, or their ID for cash pickup.
- The right payout details: For bank deposit, confirm the bank name and 10-digit NUBAN; for a wallet or cash pickup, supply the details requested in the app.
- The transfer purpose, if requested: Coinepay may also request documents about the purpose or source of funds. Provide accurate information rather than sending on someone else’s behalf to avoid a check.
Germany uses the euro (EUR); Nigeria’s local currency is the Nigerian naira (NGN). Select the recipient currency offered in the app and review the final payout amount before confirming. Transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations. If you have a reporting obligation in Germany, handle it separately from the recipient’s payout requirements.
How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe
Coinepay verifies customers’ identities and screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions. Transfers must comply with applicable local rules, and additional documents may be requested before processing. These checks help protect the payment process, but they do not replace your own review of the recipient’s details.
Use the Coinepay app or dashboard to manage the transfer and check its status. For your own security, access the service through a trusted connection, keep your sign-in details private and share pickup information only with the intended recipient. The self-service dashboard is available 24/7; if a transfer needs attention, contact Coinepay support. Status tracking lets you see updates without asking the recipient to guess whether the money has arrived.
