Leading digital money transfer service WorldRemit<\/a> has partnered with Access Bank<\/a> for instant money transfers to Access Bank accounts in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The new partnership further expands WorldRemit\u2019s presence in Nigeria, allowing its customers in over 50 countries to send money to millions of Access Bank accounts directly from their phones.<\/p>\n

Access Bank is a leading commercial bank in Nigeria, with an extensive network of millions of customer accounts and over 340 branches. The new partnership with WorldRemit will increase convenience and ease of banking for Access Bank\u2019s customers in Nigeria as well as support the country\u2019s efforts to achieve financial inclusion.<\/p>\n

Plans to grow the partnership will connect over 15 million Access Bank customers in Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Rwanda, the Gambia, Sierra Leone and Zambia to WorldRemit\u2019s best in class online money transfer experience. The deal supports WorldRemit\u2019s plan to serve 10 million customers connected to emerging markets by 2020.<\/p>\n

With a diaspora of 15 million people living<\/a> in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, remittances play a significant role in Nigeria\u2019s economy. The World Bank estimates<\/a> that in 2017 alone Nigeria received $22 billion in remittances, making it the largest recipient in Africa.<\/p>\n

Andrew Stewart, Regional Director of Africa and the Middle East at WorldRemit, comments: \u201cWe are delighted to be partnering with Access Bank, a leading commercial bank in Nigeria with a strong presence across Africa. <\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cNigeria remains our largest market in Africa, accounting for one quarter of all transactions to the continent, and this partnership will support the country\u2019s transition from offline remittances to online, safer, faster and lower-cost money transfer methods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victor Etuokwu, Executive Director at Access Bank Plc, said: “It is with great pleasure that Access Bank Plc is partnering with WorldRemit, a reputable global payment service, to provide our customers with secure and reliable international money transfers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a top player in the remittance industry in Nigeria, our extensive branch network and large customer base will be invaluable to this partnership, and we are confident that this relationship will be mutually beneficial to both parties. This alliance also supports Access Bank’s aspiration of being Africa\u2019s gateway to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year WorldRemit became Arsenal FC\u2019s first-ever online money transfer partner in a global sponsorship deal. WorldRemit customers complete one million transfers every month from over 50 countries to over 145 destinations. More than half of its transfers go to Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
