How To Receive Money

You can do this in three ways

* Through an agent.

* Through your prepaid card

* Directly into your account.

I strongly recommend the third option.

Just visit your bank and they would put you through.

 

2. With The Use Of MoneyGram

This is a very easy way of sending and receiving money.

To use MoneyGram, all you need to do is to be aware of the cost (service charge) of transferring the money. When you are sure of the cost, you can now find an agent closest to you. If you are not sure of the service charge, the agent can as well tell you. Now proceed to your agent’s office with documents that would be used as a means of identification.

A form would be given to you. Complete it accordingly and submit it with the amount you want to send together with the service charge.

You would be given a receipt. Keep it for reference purpose.

Send the reference number to the recipient and inform them to expect the money.

 

 

Receiving money Is Quite Easier

Just provide your reference number and valid means of identification.

Your cash would be supplied.

 

3. With The Use Of On-line Services

This include the use of services like PayPal, Skrill, TransferWise etc.

This services are not really reliable. For instance, PayPal does not pay Nigerians.

 

Conclusion

No matter which service you are using, you need to be highly sensitive as you are dealing with money. Any small mistake could cost you a lot and it could even be classified as fraud which usually attracts a jail term. When using agents, be very carefully because they too want those monies for their pockets.
