Now Live: Open a Nigerian Bank Account Remotely from Anywhere

Every year, millions of Nigerians living abroad send money home — supporting family, funding projects, and investing in their future. In 2023 alone, Nigeria received over $20.1 billion in diaspora remittances, making it the second-largest recipient in Sub-Saharan Africa1. These inflows are more than just financial support — they’re a lifeline for education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship across the country.

Yet despite this massive contribution, diaspora Nigerians continue to face frustrating barriers: high remittance fees, poor FX rates, and limited access to trusted financial tools. Many still rely on middlemen or relatives to manage their finances, often with little control or visibility.

nairaCompare is changing that narrative.

Say Goodbye to High Fees and Unreliable Platforms

The cost of sending money to Nigeria can be steep. Depending on the provider, fees range from 5% to 10%, and FX rate gaps between official and parallel markets can reach ₦150–₦300 per dollar1. These hidden costs eat into the value of every transfer — and make wealth-building harder for Nigerians abroad.

nairaCompare’s Diaspora Account Comparison Tool eliminates these pain points. It empowers users to:

• Compare savings, current, and domiciliary accounts from multiple Nigerian banks
• Open accounts remotely — no travel, no agents
• Access verified investment opportunities in Naira and USD
• Get better FX rates with full transparency and no hidden fees
