Hi! Thanks for reaching out about creating a Sendwave account from Nigeria. I understand you're seeing a message that you can't sign up from there.

This happens because Sendwave only allows new account sign-ups from certain approved sending countries, like the US, UK, and some parts of Europe. Unfortunately, Nigeria is not included on this list, so the app blocks account creation from there. Sendwave is designed primarily for users in those countries to send money to Nigeria, not for people in Nigeria to send money abroad or create sender accounts.

If you want to send money from Nigeria, you might need to look at other money transfer services that support Nigerian residents creating accounts.

If you think there’s a special case or need further clarification, I can help you get in touch with Sendwave support for more details.

Does this explanation help clarify the situation for you? Would you like me to assist you in exploring other options?

I mean I want to receive money from someone abroad through semdwave but can't create the account

Thanks for clarifying! Good news—you actually don’t need to create a Sendwave account to receive money from someone abroad. The sender is the one who sets up the transfer and uses their Sendwave account to send money to you.

All you need to do is provide the sender with your correct details, like your mobile wallet number, bank account info, or whatever payout method is available in Nigeria. Once they send the money, you’ll get notified and can collect the funds through the local options Sendwave supports.

If you’re having trouble receiving the money or the sender is encountering issues with your details, we can check that together. Just let me know what payout method the sender is using to send you money, and if you’ve received any notifications or messages.

Does this help clear things up? Would you like some tips on confirming payout options in Nigeria so the transfer goes smoothly?

I wanted to create an account from Nigeria but is say" u can not sign up from Nigeria"

Thanks for explaining that again. The message you’re seeing—“you cannot sign up from Nigeria”—is because Sendwave currently doesn’t allow account creation from Nigeria. Their system only supports new accounts being opened in certain sending countries, mainly in North America and Europe. This is due to banking and regulatory rules that require ID documents from those approved countries for verification1 2.

So, Nigerian residents can receive money sent through Sendwave, but they cannot open an account to send money or register directly from Nigeria. If you’re outside Nigeria or in a supported sending country, you can create a Sendwave account using a valid passport, driver’s license, or visa from that location.

If your goal is to receive money from abroad to Nigeria, the sender just needs your payout details—you don’t have to create an account yourself in Nigeria to get the funds. If you want to send money from Nigeria, though, you’ll need to look for other transfer services that allow account creation there.

Would you like help finding alternative money transfer options for sending funds from Nigeria? Or any tips on how to receive money smoothly through Sendwave?
