Route subject to KYB/KYC, compliance review, partner approval and corridor availability
How It Works
KYB & Account Setup
Submit your Nigerian business documents (CAC certificate, TIN, director ID). KYB review typically completes within 24–48 hours.
Fund via NIBSS / USDT
Top up via NGN bank transfer (NIBSS), USD domiciliary account, or USDT stablecoin — whichever suits your treasury workflow.
Verify the UK Company
Enter the UK company name or Companies House number. Live registry data — status, directors, PSC register — is pulled in real time.
GBP Payout
Funds converted via approved FX workflow and routed as GBP via Faster Payments, CHAPS or SWIFT to the UK beneficiary account, subject to partner approval.
Nigeria-UK trade: what businesses need
The UK hosts one of the world's largest Nigerian diaspora business communities, and Lagos-London is one of Africa's busiest commercial corridors. Nigerian businesses regularly pay UK suppliers, freight forwarders, legal and professional services firms, education providers and trading partners — but face FX scarcity and high bank spreads.
KeyBS Pay supports Nigerian businesses with local NGN funding (NIBSS), USDT stablecoin settlement that bypasses FX bottlenecks where permitted, live UK Companies House verification before payment, and GBP payouts via Faster Payments, CHAPS or SWIFT through FCA-regulated partner routes.

Nigeria → UK Payment FAQs
How do I pay a UK company from Nigeria?
Nigerian businesses can pay UK companies using NGN bank transfer (NIBSS), USD domiciliary account funding, or USDT stablecoin through KeyBS Pay. We verify the UK company against live Companies House records first, then route a GBP payout via Faster Payments, CHAPS or SWIFT to the beneficiary's UK account, subject to KYB/KYC and partner route approval.
Can I pay in GBP from Nigeria despite FX restrictions?
KeyBS Pay supports compliant NGN→GBP workflows through approved FX partners, and USDT stablecoin settlement can bypass some FX bottlenecks where legally permitted. All routes are subject to CBN regulations, AML screening, compliance review and partner availability.
How does KeyBS Pay verify UK companies before payment?
KeyBS Pay integrates directly with the UK Companies House government API. Before any payment, we pull live company status, directors, PSC register and filing history in real time — protecting Nigerian businesses from invoice fraud and dissolved-company scams.
What is the cheapest way to send money from Nigeria to the UK for business?
KeyBS Pay charges a flat 1.5% fee on Nigeria-UK B2B payments, typically lower than bank wire FX spreads of 3–5%. GBP payouts can route via Faster Payments for same-day arrival where supported, subject to compliance review and partner availability.
