You made the move. So should your money
When I first moved to Canada, I went through a lot of stress trying to move money across borders. With 1000 restrictions on global transactions back home, I paid heavily to convert cash or even send money to my loved ones.
So when I heard about Juicyway, I knew I had to share it with you ASAP. One thing I love about this best thing after Jollof is that it gives you FULL CONTROL over your money. On Juicyway, you can:
Convert CAD or USD to Naira instantly.
Send money home without paying ridiculous transfer fees. (Been there, never going back)
Stay connected without the bank delays.
And for me, here’s my favorite thing about them — their customer support team responds to your complaints and fixes them in REAL TIME.
