Nigeria has one of the best local bank transfer systems in the world. Never ceases to amaze me. You can transfer from any local bank to another local bank and the funds will be received instantly or up to a few minutes. And this is 24/7/365.

You just need a bank name and account number. Pulls out account name when you've input bank and account. Nothing like cut-off times, holiday, or weekends. It just works and works great.

During the course of this week, we're opening up a place in Ibex where you can come withdraw PayPal, Skrill, Perfect Money, WebMoney, Wise, Paysera, and some cryptos. You can just walk in, initiate a withdrawal and have the funds paid into your mobile money or bank while you wait

@muyiwaking I was shocked the first time I dealt with naira transfers. Paid someone in Nigeria and while I was preparing to screenshot him proof-of-payment, he messaged me "thanks, I've received it". I almost argued with him that it was not possible
