How long does a transfer to Malawi take?
Transfers to Malawi 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 name, bank name, account number and the bank's SWIFT/BIC code | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times, weekends and holidays |
| Airtel Money | Registered name and the mobile number linked to the wallet | Wallet verification and provider processing |
| TNM Mpamba | Registered name and the mobile number linked to the wallet | Wallet verification and provider processing |
| Cash pickup | Full legal name exactly as on their ID and the reference number | Agent location opening hours and ID checks at collection |
A few things can affect how fast a transfer lands: receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local Malawian holidays, 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 Malawi?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before the transfer is confirmed, so you see the full cost and the amount your recipient will receive before you pay. What you pay depends on the amount you send, the currencies involved and the payout method you choose. The recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges an incoming or cash-out fee, as this is outside Coinepay's control.
