Response from Moneygram: [INDENT]\" The Central Bank of Nigeria and Ghana policies stipulates that customers can not send money via a Money Transfer Organisations but directly through the banks via SWIFT in these countries. Aside from Ghana and Nigeria, customers can send money through our various agents in over 50 nations in Africa. As an organisation, we must comply with various Central Bank policies in countries we operate, hence the need customers can't send from Nigeria and Ghana.\" Thanks Moneygram Marketing Africa/Caribbean UK, Ireland & The Nordics[/INDENT] QUOTE:
You can use GTMT at GT bank to transfer in forex out of Nigeria, even if you don't have an account in GT bank. The downside is that the beneficiary can only receive at their local GT bank. PAGE 1
