Frequently asked questions
How do I send money from Canada to Nigeria?
Use FxPortal to compare CAD/NGN rates across verified brokers. Lock your preferred rate, then fund the transfer from your Canadian bank via Interac e-Transfer or wire. The recipient receives NGN in their Nigerian account.
Can I use Interac e-Transfer to fund a Nigeria remittance?
Yes, many FxPortal brokers accept Interac e-Transfer for CAD funding — it's typically faster and cheaper than a wire. The broker will confirm accepted payment methods when you lock your rate.
How long does a Canada to Nigeria transfer take?
Expect 2–4 business days from when the broker receives your CAD. Interac-funded transfers may be processed faster than wire-funded ones. Some brokers offer same-day NGN delivery for early-morning transfers.
What are the transfer limits for CAD to NGN?
Typical minimum is C$50. Many brokers cap single transfers at C$25,000 for standard accounts. Higher limits are available after providing proof of identity and source of funds.
What does my Nigerian recipient need to receive the transfer?
A valid Nigerian bank account with a 10-digit NUBAN number, the full account name, and the bank name. The name must match exactly to avoid delays. Mobile money wallets are not currently supported by most brokers.
