I have made several transfers to complete my project using Pesa. I stopped using other Apps because Pesa offers better rates and are more reliable. I got a quick response from customer service explaining why there was a slight delay in delivering my transfer to my recipient. I feel confident and have been recommending Pesa to my friends.

Bring naira from Nigeria to Canada does not equate with sending money from canada to nigeria ,the gap is about 50 to 65 naira .I don't see reasons for that to be honest ,it is too much .

Hello Kingsley,

We appreciate you sharing your concerns regarding the exchange rate difference.

The difference in rates between the two directions is influenced by factors such as currency liquidity, market conditions, and the cost of processing each corridor. However, we hear your concern and are always working to offer the most competitive rates possible for our customers.

OOOO

My experience is great because pesa is fast and reliable. Since I started using pesa, sending money across has been easy.

Pesa rate is good and sometimes can be higher than other apps.

Pesa customer service is good and supportive. I have not had any issues with my transfer so far. So I pray 🙏🏾 it continues like that.

The company should continue doing their best to make sure they meet up to the Pesa company standards and also to try as much as possible to remain on top as the highest rate App.

I don't know if there's any other apps rate that is higher than Pesa. But for now all I know and can say is Pesa is the highest rate App to send money.

Thank you for making sending money across easy. Continue doing all that you are doing and more that you think is and will be better.

Thank you.

Poor network

Improve the network. It is very frustrating that most of the time I have to use an alternative app because Pesa refuses to load. When I try to log in, the app just goes blank, forcing me to use other apps. However, in terms of exchange rates, Pesa is better for some currencies.
