About JapaEx

Sending love home, made simple.

JapaEx is a remittance service built for the Nigerian diaspora living in Canada — a faster, fairer way to send Naira to the people who matter most.

JapaEx is a Canada-based money transfer service purpose-built for the Nigerian diaspora. We exist to make sending money home effortless, affordable, and trustworthy. Many Nigerians living in Canada support family back home — paying rent, funding businesses, covering school fees, and handling emergencies. Yet traditional remittance corridors are slow, expensive, and full of hidden margins. JapaEx fixes that by focusing on a single corridor — Canada to Nigeria — and optimizing every step of it.

Our platform lets you send Canadian dollars and have Naira delivered straight to your recipient's Nigerian bank account or mobile money wallet, often within minutes. You can start a transfer right from our app, or simply send an instruction over WhatsApp and let our assistant handle the rest. We publish a live CAD to NGN exchange rate with no commissions and no surprise fees, so you always know exactly how much arrives at home.

JapaEx is built by a team of Nigerian-Canadian engineers and fintech operators who have lived the pain of expensive, unreliable remittance firsthand. We have completed FINTRAC pre-registration as a Money Service Business in Canada, and we use bank-grade encryption and verified identity checks to keep every transfer safe, compliant, and secure. Our mission is simple: to make the love and support you send from afar reach home faster, with more Naira kept in your recipient's hands.
