Money Gram has announced it is the first money transfer company to offer customers in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain a way to send money to most personal Nigerian Naira bank accounts within minutes.
“This is a significant milestone for us. With the addition of Nigeria, Money Gram now offers bank account deposits through our network into five of the world’s largest remittance receiving markets — Nigeria, China, India, Mexico and the Philippines,” says Herve Chomel, Money Gram’s regional vice president for Africa. “Account deposit is a fast and secure way to send and receive funds between loved ones and we are proud to offer the service for our customers in Europe and Nigeria.”
Customers can send money to most of the personal accounts held at banks that are members of the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System network including First Bank, UBA, Ecobank, Fidelity, and Zenith Bank from Money Gram agent locations in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain.
This marks an important innovation for the remittance industry in Nigeria. By integrating into the Nigerian Inter-Bank Payment System, Money Gram customers are able to send money into most bank accounts in Nigeria, almost in real time.
