How to send money to Nigeria from Italy
- Register or sign in to Coinepay, start a transfer, enter the amount you want to send and choose the currency the recipient gets. For a local-currency payout in Nigeria, look for Nigerian naira (NGN).
- Add the recipient using their full legal name, then select an available payout method. Enter the bank-account, wallet or cash-pickup details requested in the app and check them with the recipient.
- Review the exchange rate, fees, recipient amount and estimated arrival time. Confirm and pay using the options shown in the app, then use transfer status tracking to follow the payment.
If this is your first transfer, allow time to complete any identity-verification steps shown in your account. Availability of a particular payout method is determined during the transfer setup; do not ask the recipient to rely on an option until you can select it in the app.
How long does a transfer to Nigeria from Italy take?
Transfers to Nigeria from Italy can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but actual delivery time depends on the payout method and destination country, including the receiving bank or provider; the app shows an estimated arrival time before you confirm.
| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposit | An account in their legal name at a Nigerian bank, with the account details requested in the app. | Receiving-bank processing, bank operating hours and account checks. |
| Mobile wallet, if offered for this transfer | An eligible wallet in their name and the wallet identifier requested in the app. | Wallet-provider processing, account eligibility and verification checks. |
| Cash pickup, if offered for this transfer | Acceptable identification and the collection details provided after the transfer is arranged. | Pickup-location hours, identity checks and local payout requirements. |
Receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and Nigerian or Italian holidays can affect processing. Identity or compliance checks and incorrect recipient details can also delay a transfer or prevent payout. A closed, restricted or blocked receiving account may lead to rejection. Keep the transfer status available to the recipient rather than assuming that a payment marked as sent has already been credited or is ready for collection.
How much does it cost to send money to Nigeria from Italy?
Coinepay shows the exchange rate and every transfer fee in the app before you confirm, so use the review screen to compare the amount you pay with the amount the recipient is set to receive. The total can depend on the amount, the currencies involved and the payout method you select. If you are sending euros (EUR) and the recipient is receiving Nigerian naira (NGN), check both currency amounts on that screen before paying.
For bank deposit, ask the recipient to check whether their own bank may charge an incoming fee. Do not assume that the amount displayed as sent will match the final account credit if the receiving institution applies its own charges. If the cost or recipient amount is not what you expected, go back and review the transfer details before confirming rather than submitting a second payment.
Ways to receive money in Nigeria from Italy
Bank deposit
Ask the recipient for the full legal name on their Nigerian bank account, the bank name and their 10-digit Nigerian Uniform Bank Account Number (NUBAN). Select the bank or enter a bank code if the transfer form requests one; follow the fields shown in Coinepay rather than supplying a sort code unless asked. Access Bank and Fidelity Bank are examples of Nigerian banks, not a list of banks available for every transfer. Have the recipient verify their account number directly, because a single incorrect digit can cause a failed or misdirected payout.
A Nigerian recipient account does not use a national IBAN. Do not substitute an overseas correspondent bank’s IBAN for the recipient’s local account number. If you are arranging a separate direct international bank wire rather than a local bank-deposit payout in Coinepay, ask the receiving bank for its SWIFT/BIC and current incoming-wire instructions; those instructions may include an intermediary bank.
Mobile wallet, where available
Select mobile wallet only if the app offers it for your Nigeria transfer. The recipient will need an eligible wallet, the name registered to it and the wallet number or other identifier requested during setup. Ask them to confirm that the wallet can receive the payout and that its identity requirements are complete. Wallet availability and permitted use depend on the transfer and local rules; a wallet advertised elsewhere is not necessarily an option for your transfer from Italy.
Cash pickup, where available
If cash pickup appears in the app, follow the displayed collection instructions and share the necessary transfer details securely with the recipient. Their full legal name should match their acceptable identification. They should check the available pickup location and its opening hours before travelling. Cash collection is subject to local payout rules and identification checks, so the app may instead require an account-based payout for a particular transfer.
What you need to send money to Nigeria from Italy
- A verified Coinepay account: Register with your real identity and complete any identity verification requested before sending.
- The recipient’s exact legal name: Enter it as it appears on their bank account, wallet registration or identification for cash pickup.
- The correct payout details: Obtain the Nigerian bank and NUBAN account number, eligible wallet details or cash-pickup information relevant to the method shown in the app.
- The transfer purpose, if requested: Provide accurate information and any supporting documents Coinepay asks for, which may include the purpose of the payment or source of funds.
Nigeria’s local currency is the Nigerian naira (NGN); the sending currency may be euros (EUR) when arranging a transfer from Italy. Check the actual currencies offered and the recipient amount in the app. Transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations. Coinepay does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions.
How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe
Coinepay uses identity verification and screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions. These checks help ensure that a transfer can be processed under applicable requirements, though Coinepay may request additional documents before proceeding.
Use an encrypted HTTPS connection when accessing the Coinepay website, and keep your sign-in and transfer details private. After confirming a payment, check its status in the Coinepay app or the 24/7 self-service dashboard. If a detail needs correcting or the status is unclear, contact Coinepay support; do not send the transfer again without checking what happened to the first one.
