Pay US Car ShippersGetting Your Car to the Port Is a Payment Problem Too
Buying the vehicle is only part of importing from the US. At some point, a shipper or transport company will send you an invoice, ask for a deposit, or request payment for moving your vehicle to the next stage. Cyphalet helps you handle that USD payment without making the FX process another headache.
Pay Your ShipperYour Car May Be in America. Your Money Doesn't Have to Be Complicated.
The US auto-transport industry uses several payment arrangements. Depending on the company and shipment, customers may pay by card, ACH, wire transfers, certified funds, PayPal, or a combination of deposit and balance payments. That means there isn't one universal "shipping payment" — there's your shipper's invoice. Cyphalet makes the USD side of that equation easier.
Pay the Invoice, Not an FX Broker
Receive your shipping invoice in USD. Fund Cyphalet in Naira, convert to USD, and use your available balance for the eligible payment. The shipping company gets paid in the currency it expects, while you get a simpler way to prepare the money from Nigeria.
Keep Shipping Costs Separate From Your Car Purchase
Your auction payment and your shipping payment are different transactions. You may pay the auction today, your inland transporter tomorrow, and your ocean freight provider later. With a USD balance, you don't have to start your FX process from scratch for every one of those payments.
Handle the Costs That Come After the Auction
A vehicle can pass through several hands before it reaches Nigeria: Auction → Inland Transport → Yard/Port → Ocean Shipping → Nigeria. Each stage can come with its own invoice, and Cyphalet gives you a practical way to manage eligible USD payments along that journey.
Know What You're Converting Before You Pay
Shipping quotes can already be difficult to compare because prices may include different services, routes, pickup arrangements and payment schedules. Convert your Naira to USD through Cyphalet and know the amount you're preparing for the invoice.

A Note on Shipping Payments
Payment terms differ across transport companies. Some may require a deposit before assigning a carrier, while others use cash-on-delivery arrangements or request the balance after pickup or delivery. Always follow the payment instructions on your specific shipping invoice and verify the recipient before sending funds.
From the Auction Yard to the Port
You already have enough moving parts when importing a vehicle. Your USD payments don't have to be another one.
