Delivery: Transfers can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; the actual time depends on the payout method and destination country.

How to send money to Burundi

Enter the amount you want to send and choose the currency the recipient gets. Burundi’s local currency is the Burundian franc (BIF); check the currency options shown for your transfer.
Add the recipient using their full legal name, then choose an available payout method. Enter the bank, wallet or cash-pickup details requested for that method.
Review the exchange rate, fees, recipient details and estimated arrival time. Confirm and pay when everything is correct, then track the transfer’s status in Coinepay.

Ask the recipient to confirm their details before you submit the transfer. A misspelled name, incorrect bank account or wrong wallet number can delay payment or require a correction. If you are paying a business, use its registered account name and give an accurate reason for the payment when asked.

How long does a transfer to Burundi take?

Transfers to Burundi can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; the actual time depends on the payout method, destination country and receiving bank or provider, and the estimated arrival time is shown in the app before you confirm.

Payout method	What the recipient needs	What affects delivery time
Bank deposit	An account at the receiving bank and the account details that bank provides	Bank processing hours, account validation and any checks by the receiving bank
Mobile wallet	An active wallet with the provider selected in the app and a matching registered name and number	Wallet-provider processing, account details and provider availability
Cash pickup	A valid photo ID matching the transfer name, plus the transaction reference and pickup instructions	Pickup-location hours, identity checks and reference verification

Receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details can all affect speed. A provider outage may also delay a transfer. Follow the status in the app rather than assuming that selecting a particular method means the recipient can collect the money immediately.

How much does it cost to send money to Burundi?

Coinepay shows the exchange rate and every applicable fee in the app before you confirm a transfer. Review the amount you pay and the amount the recipient is expected to receive together; the cost can vary with the amount, currency and payout method you select. If you change one of those choices, check the updated quote before confirming.

For a bank deposit, ask the recipient to check whether their own bank charges an incoming-payment fee. That bank’s charge may affect what appears in their account. If a detail in the quote or payout instructions is unclear, contact Coinepay support before paying rather than submitting a transfer to test it.

Ways to receive money in Burundi

Available payout providers can depend on the sending route and the options displayed for your transfer. Choose a method the recipient can actually use, and confirm their name and receiving details with them first.

Bank deposit

For bank deposit, obtain the recipient’s full legal name and address, their bank name and the account details supplied by that bank. Burundi has a 27-character IBAN format beginning with BI, followed by two check digits and a 23-digit domestic account identifier. Within that identifier, the first five digits identify the bank and the next five identify the branch; they are part of the IBAN, not separate routing numbers.

For an international bank payment, ask the recipient’s bank which account details and SWIFT/BIC to use. The SWIFT/BIC identifies a particular bank, and the bank may provide additional receiving instructions. Copy the details from the bank’s instructions rather than constructing an IBAN or bank code yourself. Banks such as BCB, CRDB Bank, Ecobank, DTB and KCB operate in Burundi, but a bank’s presence does not establish that it is available for your particular Coinepay transfer.

EcoCash mobile wallet

EcoCash is a mobile-wallet payout option advertised for Burundi by remittance providers. If EcoCash appears as an option for your Coinepay transfer, the recipient needs an active EcoCash wallet, their registered name and the mobile number linked to it. Confirm the provider and number with the recipient before paying.

Lumicash mobile wallet

Lumicash is an electronic-money issuer in Burundi. A local wallet’s existence does not establish that it can receive a particular international transfer: select Lumicash only if the Coinepay app offers it for your route. The recipient should confirm their registered wallet name and linked number.

Cashtel mobile wallet

Cashtel is also an electronic-money issuer in Burundi. Check the app for its availability rather than assuming every wallet supports incoming remittances. If it is offered, use the recipient’s registered name and wallet-linked number exactly as requested.

Cash pickup

For cash pickup, enter the recipient’s full legal name exactly as it appears on their valid photo ID. After confirmation, share the transaction reference and pickup instructions securely with the recipient. They should check the stated location and its opening hours before travelling; a name mismatch, missing reference or visit to the wrong pickup location can prevent collection.

What you need to send money to Burundi

A verified Coinepay account: Register and complete identity verification before sending. Use your real identity and accurate account details.
The recipient’s legal name: Enter it exactly as shown on their bank or wallet account, or on their photo ID for cash pickup.
Correct payout details: Depending on the method, these may include bank and account instructions, a wallet provider and linked number, or the details needed to arrange cash pickup.
An accurate transfer purpose: Coinepay or a receiving institution may request the reason for the transfer or documents about the source of funds. This can be relevant to a Burundi bank payment, particularly one involving a foreign-currency account.

The local currency is the Burundian franc (BIF). Check the receiving currency displayed in the app rather than assuming that a foreign-currency bank account or a particular wallet can receive every currency. Transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and applicable local regulations.

How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe

Coinepay verifies customer identity and screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions. Coinepay may ask for supporting information, including the purpose or source of funds, before a transfer can proceed. It does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions.

Review recipient details and the quote before confirming, use an encrypted connection when accessing your account, and keep your login information and transaction reference private. Every Coinepay transfer has status tracking, so you can check progress from the app or the 24/7 self-service dashboard. If the status is unclear or you spot an error, contact Coinepay support promptly.
