Digital money transfer company WorldRemit is significantly expanding its service in Nigeria by introducing a new cash pick-up service at all branches of FCMB Bank, Fidelity Bank, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, and Polaris Bank.
The new service builds on WorldRemit’s efforts to offer Nigerian customers choice and convenience. As well as instant cash pickup, customers can also send money to Nigeria via bank transfer, airtime top-up and mobile money.
Using the WorldRemit app or website, the Nigerian diaspora living in over 50 countries can now send money quickly and securely to 1,800 cash pick-up locations across 36 Nigerian states, and by the end of the year, WorldRemit would have doubled its cash pick-up network to over 5,000 branches nationwide.
WorldRemit’s mobile-first, digital model saves customers time and money as they do not have to visit a bricks and mortar agent to send money home.
International transfers to bank accounts, Paga mobile money accounts, and cash pick-up via WorldRemit are instant.
Andrew Stewart, Managing Director for Middle East and Africa at WorldRemit, comments: “WorldRemit is delighted to expand its service offering in Nigeria, and introduce more recipients to our award-winning fast and convenient service. We recognise that the future of international payments will increasingly be defined by diversity and choice as more countries across the world strive to achieve universal financial inclusion.
“Using our app or website, customers living in over 50 countries can now send money home for collection as cash in just a few taps from their phones.
We also offer notifications to both senders and recipients when the money has been sent and received for complete peace of mind.”
WorldRemit sends from over 50 countries to over 150 destinations via its app and website. The company is partnered with over 20 major Nigerian banks.
