How long does a transfer to Gabon take?
Transfers to Gabon can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and the receiving bank or provider; the estimated arrival time is shown in the app before you confirm.
| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposit (XAF) | Name as held by the bank, RIB or IBAN and bank/branch details | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times |
| Airtel Money | Registered name and the wallet-linked mobile number | Wallet limits and correct number entry |
| Moov Money | Registered name and the wallet-linked mobile number | Wallet limits and provider processing |
| Cash pickup | Legal ID and the transfer reference number | Branch hours and ID verification |
Other things can affect speed: receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect or incomplete recipient details that cause a transfer to be held or returned.
How much does it cost to send money to Gabon?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you can see exactly what leaves your account and what the recipient receives before you commit. The total depends on the amount you send, the currencies involved and the payout method you choose. Note that the recipient's own bank or wallet provider may apply its own incoming or cash-out charges, so it is worth checking with them if the full amount matters.
Ways to receive money in Gabon
Bank deposit
Funds are deposited in XAF to a Gabonese bank account at banks such as Orabank or UBA. A domestic account reference (RIB) in Gabon is 23 digits: a five-digit bank code, a five-digit branch code, an 11-digit account number and a two-digit key. Some transfers use the 27-character IBAN beginning GA, and a SWIFT/BIC of eight or 11 characters identifies the receiving bank. Enter the name exactly as held by the bank - a mismatch can cause an error or return.
Airtel Money
The money is credited to the wallet linked to the mobile number you enter. Provide the recipient's registered name and the correct Airtel Money number.
Moov Money
Moov Money receives international remittances through its partners. Supply the recipient's registered name and the Moov Money-linked mobile number so the payout reaches the right wallet.
Cash pickup
The recipient can collect cash at a participating location, including UBA Gabon's cash-to-cash service without needing an account. They present valid photo ID and the transfer reference number, and the name must match their ID exactly.
What you need to send money to Gabon
- A verified Coinepay account (registration and identity verification completed).
- The recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their bank account, wallet or ID.
- The payout details for the chosen method - RIB/IBAN and bank code for bank deposit, the wallet-linked mobile number for mobile money, or the recipient's details for cash pickup.
- The purpose of the transfer and, if asked, the source of funds.
Gabon uses the Central African CFA franc, currency code XAF (not to be confused with the West African CFA franc, XOF). Choose XAF when you want the recipient to receive local currency.
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. Transfers to and within the CEMAC region are subject to local exchange-control and anti-money-laundering rules, so Coinepay may ask for information such as the purpose or source of funds. You can follow each transfer with status tracking, and support is available 24/7 if anything needs attention.
