But if you are a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/transferxo.com\/blog\/ways-transferxo-helps-freelancers-receive-payments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nigerian freelancer<\/a>,<\/strong> business owner, consultant, creator, or service provider expecting payment from a U.S. client, a payment link can provide a simpler way to request the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/transferxo.com\/products\/payment-links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TransferXO Payment Links<\/a><\/strong>, you can create a payment link in Nigeria and send it directly to your client or customer in the USA. The payer opens the link, chooses from the supported payment methods available to them, and completes the transaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TransferXO currently supports more than 40 payment methods for its Payment Links product, and payers do not necessarily need a TransferXO account to complete payments using other supported methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we&#8217;ll look at the different ways to receive money from the USA to Nigeria, how to receive client payments with TransferXO, and what you can do to avoid unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transferxo.com\/products\/payment-links\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=1024%2C390\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7765\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=1024%2C390&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=300%2C114&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=768%2C293&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=380%2C145&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=800%2C305&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=1160%2C442&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=600%2C229&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=760%2C289&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?resize=1200%2C457&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.transferxo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Payment-link-Banner.jpg?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.transferxo.com\/how-to-receive-money-from-usa-to-nigeria\/#How_to_Receive_Money_from_USA_to_Nigeria_With_a_TransferXO_Payment_Link\" >How to Receive Money from USA to Nigeria With a TransferXO Payment Link<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.transferxo.com\/how-to-receive-money-from-usa-to-nigeria\/#1_Sign_In_to_TransferXO\" >1.

TransferXO users can create links without technical setup and share them through email, social media, messaging apps, or QR codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Sign_In_to_TransferXO\"><\/span><strong>1.
