How long does a transfer to Cabo Verde take?

Transfers to Cabo Verde can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and the 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	Full legal name, IBAN and the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC	Receiving bank processing and correspondent-bank routing
Mobile wallet	Registered name and mobile number linked to the wallet	Wallet provider availability and verification of the account
Cash pickup	Full legal name and the tracking number, plus valid ID at the agent	Agent location opening hours and ID verification

Speed can also be affected by receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays in Cabo Verde, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect or incomplete recipient details. Cabo Verdean banks report incoming transfers from abroad to the central bank's international-transactions system, so a recipient may occasionally be asked to confirm details.

How much does it cost to send money to Cabo Verde?

The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before the transfer is confirmed, so you always see the total and the amount the recipient should receive before you pay. What you pay depends on the amount you send, the currencies involved, and the payout method you choose. Your recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges a fee for receiving an incoming international payment, as that is set by the receiving institution and is outside Coinepay's control.

Ways to receive money in Cabo Verde

Bank deposit

Funds are paid into the recipient's Cabo Verdean bank account. You will need their full legal name, their IBAN and the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC. A Cabo Verde IBAN has 25 characters: CV followed by two check digits and a 21-digit NIB (institution code, branch code, account number and check digits). Confirm the SWIFT/BIC for the recipient's actual bank — for example, CXECCVCV belongs to Caixa Económica de Cabo Verde and is not a countrywide code. The NIB alone is only used for domestic transfers, so for an international transfer always use the full IBAN and BIC.

Mobile wallet

Where mobile-wallet payout is available for your route, the recipient receives the money to a wallet linked to their mobile number. You will need the name registered on the wallet and the correct mobile number. Availability can vary, so the options shown in the app for your transfer are the ones you can use.

Cash pickup

The recipient collects the money in cash at a participating agent location. They need to present the tracking number for the transfer and valid photo identification that matches the recipient name you entered. Make sure the name is spelled exactly as on their ID to avoid a payout being refused.

What you need to send money to Cabo Verde

A verified Coinepay account (complete identity verification/KYC before sending).
The recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their account or ID.
The payout details for the chosen method — IBAN and SWIFT/BIC for bank deposit, mobile number for a wallet, or the recipient's name for cash pickup.
The purpose of the transfer and source of funds if you are asked for them.

The local currency is the Cabo Verdean escudo (CVE). A name or account-holder mismatch can prevent a bank payout, and an incorrect IBAN can cause a failed transfer where recovery of the funds is not guaranteed, so double-check every detail before you confirm.

How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe

Every customer completes identity verification, and senders and recipients are screened against sanctions lists. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions, and connections are encrypted. You can follow each transfer with status tracking in the app, and 24/7 support is available if you need help. Transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations, and Coinepay may ask for documents such as the purpose or source of funds.
