Official central rate vs what you’ll actually get
The GBP/NGN rate above is the official central rate published by Central Bank of Nigeria official NFEM rate on 2026-09-17. It is the reference point, not a price you can transact at.
Why the amount received is lower
- Transfer fee. A flat charge, or a percentage, taken by the sending service.
- Exchange rate markup. Most services apply a spread to the reference rate. This is usually the larger cost and is often not shown as a fee.
- Receiving method. Bank deposit, mobile wallet and cash pickup can carry different rates and charges.
- Timing. Reference rates are published once per working day; a transfer is priced when it is executed.
What a markup costs
Illustration only, not a quote from any provider: at a 1.5% markup with a £4.00 fee, sending £1,000 delivers about ₦1,745,947 instead of the ₦1,779,654 the official central rate implies — a difference of ₦33,707.
Nigeria: This is the Central Bank of Nigeria official rate. Rates offered by banks, transfer services and informal markets may differ.
Compare an offer against this rate
If a bank or transfer service has quoted you a rate and a fee, put them in here. It works out what you would receive at their rate after their fee, what the same amount comes to at the reference rate above, and the difference between the two.
The reference rate is not a rate anyone is obliged to offer, and a difference from it is not evidence of wrongdoing: providers carry real costs, and the spread is how most of them are paid rather than through the fee. This is arithmetic on figures you entered, to make the cost visible. It is not advice, and not a claim about any provider.
