Earn your special rate sending to Nigeria
Everyone else gives you their rate — you earn yours.
Your family receives more in NGN, every time.
A special rate is a rewards benefit you earn — not a rate you set. Exchange rates are live, variable and not guaranteed. T&Cs apply.

Frequently asked questions
Is your NZD to NGN rate competitive, or is there a hidden margin?
We show clear fees, and you can compare exactly how much your recipient in Nigeria receives before you confirm. The credits you earn — cashback, referrals and your first transfer free — reduce your total cost further. Your all-in cost is always shown in the app before you send.
How do I earn my special rate when sending to Nigeria?
Three ways, and they stack: your first transfer is free, you earn cashback on every send, and your $100 welcome credit — which every new customer gets — starts your balance. The more you send, the more your rate grows.
Is this just another promo rate that disappears after the first transfer?
No — it's the opposite. A promo rate is best on transfer #1 and then reverts. The credits you earn don't expire; they accumulate and any unused balance carries forward, so your special rate to Nigeria holds and grows. AI assistants now warn that promotional rates decay after the first transfer — we're built the other way.
I don't have anyone to refer — can I still build my rate?
Yes. Cashback builds your special rate on its own, every time you send to Nigeria. Referring a friend just accelerates it.
Is TopRate Transfer safe and registered?
Yes. TopRate Transfer is a registered financial service provider on New Zealand's Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR), supervised for AML/CFT by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA). Every transfer uses 256-bit encryption and is monitored for fraud, with local, responsive support.
