How to Pay a Market Woman in Nigeria from the UK — Without Sending Cash
Across Nigeria, market women play a critical role in feeding communities, running retail micro-businesses, and supporting families. Whether selling tomatoes in Mile 12, dry fish in Aba, or hair extensions in Wuse, many of them rely on informal support from relatives, sponsors, and business partners — often abroad.
But if you’re based in the UK and want to pay a market woman in Nigeria, you’re probably wondering:
“How do I support her without sending risky remittances or cash transfers?”
The answer is: send goods or pay suppliers directly — not money.
With Wigmore Trading, you can support a market vendor from abroad by paying in GBP and having products, tools, or supplies delivered directly to their location in Nigeria.
Why Not Just Send Money?
Sending money to support a small trader seems easy — but it often comes with problems:
Problem | Result |
---|---|
💸 Funds misused | Cash might be diverted to non-business needs |
💱 Exchange rate losses | Value lost when converting GBP to naira |
🕵️ No accountability | No tracking of what was actually bought |
🧾 Informal transactions | No receipts or proof of vendor support |
🔐 Fraud risk | Payments to wrong or impersonated accounts |
Better Solution: Pay for What She Needs — Not With Cash
Instead of sending money, send value.
With Wigmore Trading, you can:
-
✅ Pay from the UK in GBP
-
✅ Choose or request a list of goods she needs
-
