Yolat

Sending money across borders with a Nigerian bank account on the receiving end has always been treated as an afterthought by the big financial apps. You get a generic rate, a vague "1 to 3 business days," and a fee structure that takes three screens to understand. Yolat was built to be the opposite of that.

Whether you are sending Canadian dollars from Toronto, pounds from London, US dollars from Atlanta, rand from Johannesburg, rupees from Mumbai, CFA francs from Douala, or yen from Tokyo, Yolat converts and delivers to Nigerian bank accounts and wallets in real time. The rate you see before you confirm is the rate your recipient gets. Nothing moves between those two moments.

What actually makes Yolat different

Most apps in this space handle your transfer the same way they handle a thousand other corridors. Nigeria is just another country in a dropdown. Yolat is built around the realities of Nigerian financial life: the naira exchange rate volatility, the CBN settlement requirements, the specific banks your family uses, the school fees deadlines, the supplier payments from Lagos to anywhere. We understand why timing and rate transparency matter so much more in this corridor than the app was ever designed to care about.

Send from anywhere. Receive in naira, instantly.

USD, GBP, CAD, ZAR, INR, XAF, USDT. Yolat handles inbound transfers across all major currencies directly into any Nigerian bank account. GTBank, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, UBA, Fidelity, FCMB, Stanbic IBTC and every other major Nigerian bank receives directly. No intermediate wallet. No withdrawal step. The money lands and it is usable.

For Nigerians sending from abroad

If you are in Canada, the UK, South Africa, the US or anywhere else in the diaspora, Yolat gives you the real exchange rate upfront, not the rate after the FX markup your bank adds quietly before showing you the total. Open the app, see what your family will receive, confirm, done. Transfer tracking in real time from the moment you tap send to the moment they get the credit notification.

For Nigerian businesses paying internationally

Pay your London freight forwarder. Cover your supplier invoice from India. Handle payroll for staff in South Africa or Cameroon. Yolat processes business transfers across corridors without the correspondent bank maze, the three-day wait, or the fee that appears in the confirmation email that was not in the quote. Business payments move the same way personal transfers do: fast, visible, and with the rate locked at the point of confirmation.

FINTRAC licensed. CBN approved.

Yolat is registered with FINTRAC, Canada's financial intelligence authority, and operates under Central Bank of Nigeria regulatory guidelines. Your transfers are processed under the same compliance framework as your Canadian bank or UK financial institution, with bank-level encryption protecting every transaction.

For Freelancers

If you are a freelancer, remote worker, or business owner based in Nigeria and you get paid in dollars, pounds, euros or any other foreign currency, Yolat gives you a clean path to receive that payment and access it in naira without the dom account headache or the waiting period that turns urgent payments into three-day puzzles.

Yolat moves money between Nigeria and the world, both directions, multiple currencies, real rate, no surprises. That is the whole product. Download it, run one transfer, and compare what arrives against what you sent. The numbers do the rest.
