How long does a transfer to Guinea take?
Transfers to Guinea 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 | Full account name, account number and the bank's SWIFT/BIC (with the GN country code) | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times |
| Mobile wallet (Orange Money, MTN) | Registered wallet name and mobile number | Name matching the wallet and provider availability |
| Cash pickup | Full legal name matching their ID and the reference number | Pickup location hours and ID checks |

How much does it cost to send money to Guinea?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you always see the full cost before you pay. The total depends on the amount you send, the sending and receiving currencies, and the payout method you choose. The recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges an incoming fee, as this is set by them, not by Coinepay.
Ways to receive money in Guinea
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into the recipient's Guinean bank account, typically in GNF. You will need the recipient's full account name, their account number exactly as issued by the bank, and the receiving bank's name and SWIFT/BIC code. Guinea has no nationally registered IBAN format, so use the account number the bank provides rather than inventing a GN-prefixed IBAN, and confirm the exact account length and any branch identifier with the receiving bank. Guinean banks that handle inbound payouts include institutions such as FBNBank, NSIA Banque and Orabank.
Mobile wallet
Mobile-wallet payout sends money to a wallet linked to the recipient's phone. For Guinea the common wallets are Orange Money and MTN Mobile Money. Provide the recipient's wallet name exactly as registered and their mobile number; a name that does not match the wallet can cause an error. Wallet payouts are typically credited in GNF.
Cash pickup
The recipient collects cash at a payout location. They need their full legal name exactly as it appears on their government-issued ID, plus the transfer reference number. Availability depends on the payout partner and location in your chosen route.
What you need to send money to Guinea
- A verified Coinepay account (identity verification is required before you can send).
- The recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their bank account, wallet or ID.
- The payout details for the chosen method — account number and SWIFT/BIC for a bank deposit, wallet name and number for a mobile wallet, or full name for cash pickup.
- The purpose of the transfer if asked; for larger amounts you may be asked for source-of-funds or occupation information.
The local currency is the Guinean franc, currency code GNF.
