- Three payout options in Nigeria: bank transfer, mobile money and cash pickup
- Wide sending coverage — UK, US and most of the eurozone in one app
- Flat transfer fee with a high advertised sending limit (up to $20,000)
Cons

- A newer consumer brand than Western Union or Wise, with a smaller support track record
- Cash-pickup availability depends on agent coverage in the recipient's area
