How to Send Money from South Africa to Nigeria

Sending money home from South Africa to Nigeria usually means queues, forms or a middleman. With Oremi you do it from WhatsApp, and you see every number before you confirm.

Step 1: Get money into Oremi

The quickest route from South Africa is USDT. Buy it on any exchange or wallet you already use, type receive in Oremi to get your wallet address, and send it there on the same network. Already holding rand in Oremi, for example from selling crypto or a payment from another Oremi user? You can use that instead.

Step 2: Turn it into naira

Say “sell 100 USDT for naira” or, if you hold rand, “swap R1000 to naira”. Oremi shows the rate and the exact naira amount first. Confirm with your PIN or Face ID.

Step 3: Send it to any Nigerian bank

Sending to someone who also uses Oremi? Just use their username, like “pay @tolu 20000”.

What does it cost?

Bank payouts in Nigeria are a flat ₦100. The swap rate is shown before you confirm, so there are no surprises.
