Nala is a top-notch service for instant money transfer, which provides some of the best rates in the market. However, I mistakenly transferred money to the wrong mobile wallet recently. Fortunately, I contacted Nala, and they promptly initiated a refund process and communicated with me very clearly regarding the entire process. To my surprise, the money was refunded to my account in no time. I highly recommend Nala to everyone for its excellent service.

I was very skeptical at first since Iโ€™m just used to Western Union but I started with just $10 and it worked. I hate I didnโ€™t know about it sooner years of using western Union and it was expensive and always a headache. Nala is very simple and it sends the money directly to your love one bank account highly recommend it. When they get it is in Naira so be mindful of the value as well. Oh yeah and better rates too.I use the app monthly

Frequently asked questions

How does NALA compare rates?

At NALA, we believe in transparency and empowering our users with accurate information.

We compare real-time rates from various providers' websites.

Click here to compare rates.

Breaking down the components:

1. Transfer fee:

The 'transfer fee' refers to the cost specified by the provider for using their online service. We compare costs for online transfers from banks (open banking/debit card) to your recipient's bank/mobile money accounts.

2. Exchange rate:

The 'exchange rate' reflects the rate offered by each provider. We record the exchange rate as presented on their websites at the precise moment we capture the data.

Our commitment is to provide an open and transparent platform for our users. If you have any further inquiries or want detailed insight into how we compare rates, feel free to reach out through our in-app chat or via mamanala@nala.com๏ปฟ๏ปฟ.
