Monzo enters Nigeria remittance corridor via Wise partnership

UK digital bank Monzo has launched remittance transfers to Nigeria through a partnership with Wise, entering one of Africa's highest-volume diaspora corridors. The move increases competitive pressure on existing operators including earlier entrants such as SendOva in the UK-Nigeria remittance market.
Monzo, a larger and more prominent UK incumbent than SendOva, has now entered the same UK-Nigeria remittance corridor, materially intensifying competitive pressure.
