For Nigerians in Dubai, Sending Money Home Just Got Easier

More than 100,000 Nigerians reside and work in the UAE across various industries, including construction, healthcare, and hospitality. And Nigerians didn’t just move to the UAE to live, work, and survive; they always took a bit of home with them, with vibrant Nigerian communities in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.

But beyond the communities and togetherness of Nigerians in Dubai, the emotional and financial ties to Nigeria run deep. For many Nigerians in Dubai, as for Nigerians living abroad, monthly money transfers to family, salary payments, or contributions back home are routine and essential. As we know, sending money home isn't just a task; it’s a responsibility.

Yet, doing these things has come with some frustration, such as;

• Poor exchange rates: Some remittance services offer terrible AED→NGN rates, taking a huge cut of your money.
  
  
• Hidden fees: Transfer charges aren't always transparent. You’re told one thing, and your people in Nigeria receive something else.
  
  
• Delays: Sometimes it takes days for the money to land, especially during weekends or public holidays.
  
  
• Limited access: Not every remittance service works smoothly from Dubai. Some require physical visits to agents, or don’t even support Nigeria.
  
  
• Trust issues: Nigerians in the UAE have seen their fair share of shady money transfer schemes. Trust is hard-earned.
