How long does a transfer to Nigeria from Ireland take?
Transfers to Nigeria from Ireland can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and the receiving bank or provider, and the estimated arrival time is shown in the app before you confirm.
| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposit (NGN account) | Full legal name, bank code and 10-digit NUBAN account number | Receiving-bank processing and interbank settlement confirmation, which can sometimes take longer |
| Mobile wallet | Registered name and mobile number for the wallet, where offered at checkout | Whether the wallet option is available and compliant for the route, and provider processing |
| Cash pickup | Full name as on ID, transfer reference and government-issued ID | Agent location hours and local payout rules on cash amounts |
Other things can affect speed too: receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local public holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details. Nigerian interbank settlement confirmation can sometimes take longer than the headline estimate, and entering a wrong name or account number can cause the receiving bank to reject and return the payment.
How much does it cost to send money to Nigeria from Ireland?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you always see what leaves your account and what your recipient receives in naira before committing. The total depends on the amount you send, the currencies involved and the payout method you choose. Your recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges any incoming fee, as that is set by the receiving institution and is outside Coinepay's control.
Ways to receive money in Nigeria from Ireland
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into a Nigerian bank account in naira. You will need the recipient's full legal name, their bank code and their 10-digit NUBAN account number. Nigeria does not use a national IBAN, so request the local account number rather than an IBAN. A conventional international wire may also reference a SWIFT/BIC code, but a locally paid NGN transfer generally uses the bank code and account number.
Mobile wallet
Where a mobile-wallet payout is offered for your transfer, the recipient needs the name registered on the wallet and the linked mobile number. Available wallet options and their compliance can vary for Nigeria, so rely on the methods shown in the app at checkout rather than assuming a specific wallet is supported.
Cash pickup
For cash pickup, the recipient collects at a payout location using the transfer reference and a valid government-issued ID whose name matches the recipient details. Note that Nigerian rules cap naira cash payout per the current regulations, so larger amounts may need to be paid into an account instead.
What you need to send money to Nigeria from Ireland
- A verified Coinepay account (identity verification / KYC completed).
- The recipient's full legal name, exactly as it appears on their bank account or ID.
- The payout details for the chosen method: bank code and 10-digit NUBAN account number, wallet name and mobile number, or the recipient's ID details for cash pickup.
- The purpose of the transfer, if you are asked for it.
Your recipient is paid in Nigerian naira (NGN), and you fund the transfer in euro (EUR). Entering details accurately helps avoid a receiving bank rejecting and returning the payment.
