It is no longer news that ever since MoneyGram and Western Union MoneyTransfer came into the country about 15 years ago, that the duo only offers inbound transfer services from other countries to Nigeria.
But since we believe in change and that change remains the only constant thing, I can tell you that things are changing for the better.
About a month ago, Western Union partnered with First Bank of Nigeria to start offering outbound transfer services.
And just yesterday, MoneyGram followed suit and also went ahead to partner this time around with Access Bank to also start offering outbound transfer services, which was tagged “Naija Send”.

She also added that there will be no excess charges and that charges are quite affordable.
