| Provider | Rate 1 NGN → CAD | Spread vs best IMTO | vs Mid | Fee | Checked |

Rates are timestamped, append-only observations of what each named provider quotes — not interpolated mids. Spread is basis points below the best IMTO quote on this corridor (0 = best), never measured against another type. vs Mid compares each quote to the independent open.er-api.com reference. A quote not checked in the last 24 hours sits below a divider with its check date: never ranked or marked Best, and left out of the median and the counts. After 7 days unchecked it drops off the page.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the NGN to CAD exchange rate today?
- As of 15 Oct 2026, 06:20 UTC, the only IMTO quote Modan observed on NGN→CAD is LemFi's 0.000975 CAD per NGN. 2 providers quote this corridor: an IMTO and a fintech & PSP, each ranked only among its own kind. Every quote on the page carries the time Modan last checked it.
- Which IMTO has the best NGN to CAD rate?
- LemFi is the only IMTO with a current NGN→CAD quote — 0.000975 CAD per NGN as of 15 Oct 2026, 06:20 UTC — so there is nothing of its kind to rank it against, and Modan does not call it the best. Every other provider type is ranked among its own kind.
- How is the spread on NGN→CAD calculated?
- Spread is the distance in basis points between a provider's rate and the best current rate of the same provider type — and the same kind of price — on the corridor at that moment (0 bps = the best of its kind), so an IMTO is only ever measured against IMTOs. A quote with nothing of its kind to rank it against, or one that is no longer current, shows no spread. vs Mid is a separate measure: the distance from an independent mid-market reference (open.er-api.com) that is refreshed hourly.
- How do I get NGN to CAD rates by API?
- Call GET https://modan.io/api/v1/rates?from=NGN&to=CAD with an X-API-Key header, and add provider_type=imto (or fintech_psp, commercial_bank …) to ask for one kind of provider. A free key allows 25 requests a day and reads IMTO and fintech & PSP quotes; the other types need a Pro or Max key. The same data is available to AI agents through the MCP server at https://modan.io/api/mcp.
