How long does a transfer to Guinea-Bissau take?
Transfers to Guinea-Bissau can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; 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 and bank account or IBAN details | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times |
| Mobile wallet | Full name and the phone number registered to the wallet | Provider processing and wallet verification status |
| Cash pickup | Full legal name matching their ID and a reference number | Agent location opening hours and ID check at pickup |
Several things can affect how fast a transfer lands: receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays in Guinea-Bissau, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect or incomplete recipient details. Double-checking the payout information before you confirm helps avoid delays.
How much does it cost to send money to Guinea-Bissau?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the app before you confirm the transfer, so you always see the full cost and the amount the recipient will get before you commit. The total depends on how much you send, the currency the recipient receives and the payout method you choose. Your recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges a fee to receive incoming funds, as that is set by the receiving institution and not by Coinepay.
Ways to receive money in Guinea-Bissau
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into the recipient's bank account. You will need their full legal name as it appears on the account and their account details — Guinea-Bissau bank accounts typically use an IBAN that begins with the country code GW, along with the bank and branch identifiers. Enter these exactly as shown on the recipient's bank records.
Mobile wallet
Mobile money is widely used across Guinea-Bissau. To pay out to a wallet, you need the recipient's full name and the phone number registered to their mobile money account. Confirm with your recipient which provider they use and that the number is active before you send, as the name on the wallet should match the recipient details.
Cash pickup
With cash pickup, the recipient collects the funds in person at a participating payout location. They will need to bring valid government-issued ID and the transfer reference number, and the name on the transfer must match their ID exactly. The exact collection details are shown in the app once the transfer is set up.
