Local guide
Money transfer services let people in Asmara, Eritrea send money abroad or receive it in ERN (Eritrean nakfa). The real cost is the fee plus the gap between the provider's exchange rate and the mid-market rate, so compare both.
Before you sign up in Asmara
Eritrea has one of the least developed payment infrastructures in Africa: banking is concentrated in a handful of state-owned institutions, cash remains the dominant payment method, the nakfa is not freely convertible, and there is no established national real-time retail payment system. Card acceptance is limited to a few banked venues in Asmara, and remittances from the diaspora are a major part of household income but often move through informal channels. Honest summary: digital banking options are essentially confined to basic account access at the state banks.
