You can send money to Tunisia with Coinepay Global Remittance. Before you start, ask your recipient how they want to receive the money and collect the details for that payout method. This guide explains Tunisia’s bank-account format, what to check for mobile-wallet or cash-pickup payouts, and how to follow up if a transfer needs attention.
What you need before sending
Register for Coinepay and complete the identity verification requested in the app before making a transfer. Use your real identity and provide accurate information about the recipient and the purpose of the payment. Transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations; Coinepay may request supporting documents, including evidence of the payment’s purpose or source of funds.
Ask the recipient for their full legal name exactly as it appears on their bank or postal account, wallet registration or identity document, depending on the payout method. Also confirm a reliable way to reach them if the receiving institution needs more information. Do not substitute a nickname or another person’s account details.
Tunisia’s local currency is the Tunisian dinar (TND). Select Tunisia as the destination and check the receiving currency offered for your chosen payout method in the Coinepay app. The app shows the exchange rate and fees before you confirm. Check the recipient’s account type and the currency it can receive rather than assuming that every account handles an incoming transfer in the same way.
Choose a payout method for Tunisia
Coinepay supports transfers to Tunisia and supports bank deposit, mobile-wallet payout and cash pickup. The options presented for a particular transfer can depend on the recipient details and the service available in the app. Choose a method the recipient can actually use, then enter the information requested on screen.
Bank or postal-account deposit
For a deposit, get the name registered on the recipient’s account and their Tunisian IBAN. A Tunisian IBAN contains 24 characters: TN, two check digits and a 20-digit domestic account identifier. That domestic identifier is called a RIB for a bank account or a RIP for a postal account. It contains a two-digit bank code, a three-digit branch code, a 13-digit account number and two check digits. The branch code is already part of the IBAN; it is not a separate universal international routing code.
Ask the recipient to copy the IBAN from their bank or postal account information rather than reconstructing it from an account number. Confirm the receiving institution’s SWIFT/BIC and provide any bank name, branch details or local bank code the Coinepay form requests. For a bank account, obtain the BIC from that bank. Tunisian Post identifies LPTNTNTT as its BIC for postal accounts; do not use the postal BIC for an account at another bank. IFSC, CLABE and US routing numbers are not Tunisian account identifiers.
If the recipient wants a postal-account deposit, check whether the relevant account option appears for your transfer before submitting it. A postal IBAN/RIP is different from a mobile-wallet identifier, so confirm which type of account the recipient has.
Mobile-wallet payout
If a mobile-wallet option is displayed for your Tunisia transfer, ask the recipient for the wallet provider and the exact registered name and wallet identifier or phone number requested in the app. The recipient should confirm that their wallet is active, belongs to them and can receive the type of payout shown. An incorrect phone number can direct the transfer to the wrong destination or prevent it from being completed.
Wallet e-Dinar is a Tunisian Post wallet that can be funded through transfers and postal money orders. That does not establish that every Wallet e-Dinar account accepts a direct international wallet payout. Do not select it on the assumption that it is eligible: use a wallet only if Coinepay presents the applicable option and the recipient can confirm their receiving details. If you are uncertain about a displayed wallet option, contact Coinepay support before confirming.
Cash pickup
Cash pickup lets the recipient collect funds in person at a participating payout location rather than provide a bank account. Select cash pickup only if it appears as an option for your Tunisia transfer. Check the available location and collection instructions shown for that transfer; do not assume that an agent serving another remittance provider can pay out a Coinepay transfer.
The recipient should have a valid identity document bearing the same legal name you entered. They may also need the transfer reference and other collection information shown in the app. Share the reference privately with the intended recipient, and ask them to check the location’s identification requirements and opening hours before visiting. Cash pickup in Tunisia is generally received in local currency; verify the payout currency on your transfer review screen.
How to send money to Tunisia step by step
- Open Coinepay. Sign in through the Coinepay self-service dashboard or the mobile app. If you are new, register and complete the required identity verification first.
- Start a Global Remittance transfer. Choose Tunisia as the destination. Select the sending and receiving currencies offered for your transfer, and enter the amount.
- Select the payout method. Choose the bank or postal-account, mobile-wallet or cash-pickup option available in the app that matches your recipient’s preference.
- Enter recipient details. Use the recipient’s full legal name. For a deposit, enter their IBAN and any requested bank details, such as SWIFT/BIC. For a wallet, enter the requested wallet details. For cash pickup, supply the identity and contact information the form requests.
- Review before confirming. Check the spelling of the name, destination, payout method and receiving details. Read the exchange rate and fees displayed in the app before you confirm, along with the amount and receiving currency shown for your transfer.
- Confirm and track. Submit the transfer only when the information is correct. Keep its reference and use Coinepay’s transfer-status tracking in the dashboard or app to follow its progress.
If you need to send from your phone, the Coinepay app is available for iOS and Android. The transfer review screen is the place to check the terms for the particular payment you are making.
Recipient-side considerations in Tunisia
Payments arriving from abroad in Tunisia must pass through authorised intermediaries, such as banks or the postal administration, under local exchange-control rules. The recipient’s institution may ask questions about the sender, relationship, payment purpose or supporting documents before making funds available. A business recipient should also keep the records it needs for its accounting and compliance obligations.
Receiving arrangements can differ by account and transaction. Some foreign-origin payments are handled through specified dinar accounts or repatriated foreign currency, with conversion where required. Do not assume that every recipient must convert every incoming payment. If the recipient is unsure how their bank or postal account will handle the funds, they should ask that institution before you send. Any separate obligation related to a Tunisian resident or business holding assets abroad depends on their circumstances; it is not a declaration requirement for every incoming transfer.
Troubleshooting a Tunisia transfer
- Wrong name, IBAN or wallet details: Check the transfer status and contact Coinepay support promptly with the reference. Do not send a replacement until you understand whether the original can be corrected, stopped or returned. A receiving institution may reject details that do not match its records.
- Compliance review: Respond to requests in the app or from support with accurate information and any requested identity, purpose-of-payment or source-of-funds documents. Missing sender or recipient information may prevent processing. Do not use another person’s details or split a payment to avoid checks.
- Transfer taking longer than expected: Look at status tracking first. Reviews, the receiving bank’s processing, weekends and public holidays can affect progress. If the status is unclear or the recipient says funds have not arrived, contact support with the transfer reference and confirm the payout details with the recipient.
- Returned transfer: Ask support what the status means and check with the recipient whether their institution rejected the payment. Confirm the correct name, IBAN and BIC—or the relevant wallet or pickup details—before making a new transfer.
Coinepay does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions, and transfers are screened accordingly. For a Tunisia payment, use the available app options and contact support if you need help interpreting a status or payout requirement.
