LemFi and Grey consistently offer rates above the CBN rate for GBP to NGN transfers, making them popular with Nigerians in the UK. Wise offers the most transparent fee structure. Always compare on the day you want to send as rates fluctuate.
At the current CBN rate shown above, multiply £1,000 by the GBP/NGN rate. For example, if the rate is ₦1,825, then £1,000 = ₦1,825,000. Transfer apps may offer slightly more. Use NaijaHub's live converter for exact calculations.
