How long does a transfer to Lebanon take?
Transfers to Lebanon 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 legal name, 28-character Lebanese IBAN (starting LB) and the bank's SWIFT/BIC | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times, account checks |
| Whish Wallet | Name and registered Whish mobile number | Provider checks and route availability |
| OMT Pay wallet | Name and registered OMT Pay mobile number | Provider verification of the recipient's identity |
| Cash pickup | Transfer number, valid ID or passport, sender's name, sending country and expected amount | Agent location hours and ID verification |
Several things can affect how quickly money arrives: receiving bank or provider cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details. An incomplete or invalid IBAN can be rejected, and a name or account-number error can cause the payment to be returned, so double-check every detail before you confirm.
How much does it cost to send money to Lebanon?
Coinepay shows the exchange rate and every fee in the app before you confirm the transfer, so you always see what leaves your account and what your recipient should receive. The total depends on the amount you send, the currency your recipient receives and the payout method you choose. Remind your recipient to check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges an incoming or withdrawal fee, as that is set by the receiving institution and is outside Coinepay's control.
Ways to receive money in Lebanon
Bank deposit
Deposits go to a Lebanese bank account using the recipient's 28-character IBAN, which begins with LB, two check digits, a four-digit bank identifier and a 20-character account number, plus the bank's SWIFT/BIC. Banque du Liban requires transfer instructions to include the beneficiary's IBAN, so ask your recipient for it exactly as their bank provides it. It also helps to ask the bank whether the account is a fresh foreign-currency account that accepts transfers from abroad and what withdrawal terms apply.
Whish Wallet
On supported routes, funds can be received into a Whish Wallet. Your recipient needs their name as registered and their Whish mobile number.
OMT Pay wallet
Where available, money can be received into an OMT Pay wallet. Your recipient provides the name on the wallet and their registered OMT Pay mobile number.
Cash pickup
Cash pickup lets a recipient collect without a bank account at an agent location such as OMT. They will need the transfer number, a valid ID or passport, the sender's name, the sending country and the expected amount; agents may request additional information before paying out.
What you need to send money to Lebanon
- A verified Coinepay account (registration and identity verification completed).
- Your recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their account or ID.
- The payout details for the method you choose: IBAN and SWIFT/BIC for a bank deposit, the registered mobile number for a wallet, or the recipient's details for cash pickup.
- The purpose of the transfer and source-of-funds information if Coinepay or local rules ask for it.
Lebanon's local currency is the Lebanese pound (LBP). Some payouts may be settled in another currency depending on the service and location, so confirm the receiving currency in the app before you send.
How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe
Every customer completes identity verification, and senders and recipients are screened against sanctions lists before a transfer is processed. 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. Card and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions, connections are encrypted, and you can follow each transfer with real-time status tracking. Support is available 24/7 through the app if you have a question about a payment to Lebanon.
