# Sending Money via Crypto

> A step-by-step guide to sending money to Nigeria using cryptocurrency

Sending money home shouldn't eat into the amount your loved ones actually receive. That's why we've built crypto transfers into Yara—it's simply a faster, cheaper way to move money. When you send through traditional banks, your transfer can bounce between multiple intermediaries, each taking a cut and adding delays. With crypto, especially stablecoins like USDC and USDT, your money moves directly and settles in minutes.

## How to Send Money with Crypto

We're going to send money to Nigeria in less than 5 minutes. This guide assumes you have some crypto on your preferred platform and want to send it to a Nigerian bank.
