Services that send this corridor directly
Two-step route via a dollar stablecoin (USDT)
Buy USDT for CAD in one service, send it (fees are cents), and sell it for NGN in another. Two steps, but often cheaper than a bank wire, and it works for corridors nobody serves directly.
Step 1 — CAD → USDT
Step 2 — USDT → NGN
