Overview
meCash is a cross-border payments platform focused on Africa, with particular strength in Nigeria. It offers international money transfers, multi-currency wallets, and virtual dollar cards, paying out via bank transfer and mobile money across 15+ destinations. It is best known for outbound transfers from Nigeria (NGN) to currencies including USD, GBP, EUR, CNY, and SGD, as well as inbound transfers to Nigeria.

- Guaranteed locked-in quotes via API

How meCash Works
meCash generates a guaranteed locked-in quote for a chosen corridor (source and destination currency and the send amount), then settles the payout to the recipient bank account or mobile money wallet. Quotes are short-lived and reused at payout time so the locked rate, fees, and compliance rules apply.
Fee Structure
meCash returns a corridor-specific fee that is charged on top of the send amount (rather than deducted from it), and some corridors also apply a small stamp duty. The exchange rate is applied to the full send amount. Confirm the final quote — fees and rate vary by corridor and payment channel.

meCash FAQs
Which corridors does meCash support?
meCash focuses on transfers to and from Nigeria. Outbound from Nigeria (NGN) it supports destinations including USD, GBP, EUR, CNY, and SGD, and it also handles inbound transfers to Nigeria from the UK and US. Other destinations shown on meCash marketing may require activation on the account, so treat unsupported routes as unavailable until the live quote returns a rate.
Is meCash regulated?
Yes. meCash holds an IMTO licence from the Central Bank of Nigeria, is registered as an MSB with FinCEN (US) and FINTRAC (Canada), holds a PSP licence from the National Bank of Rwanda, and operates in the UK as a registered PSD agent of an FCA-authorised payment institution.
How are meCash fees charged?
Fees are corridor-specific and charged on top of the amount you send, not deducted from it; some corridors also apply a small stamp duty. The exchange rate is applied to the full send amount, so the recipient amount reflects the quoted rate. Always confirm the final quote before sending.
Our Verdict
meCash is a strong option for transfers involving Nigeria — especially Nigerians sending money abroad, where coverage is limited among mainstream providers. It is well licensed across several jurisdictions. Because corridor availability is provisioned per account and the brand is newer, confirm the live rate, fees, and delivery timing for your specific route before choosing it.
Regulation & Security
meCash is regulated by the following financial authorities:
Headquartered in Africa-focused; operates via licensed entities in Nigeria, the UK, US, Canada, and Rwanda. Verify the exact licence and payout coverage for your sending country before you transfer.
