How long does a transfer to Mauritania take?
Transfers to Mauritania can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but 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 name as held by the bank and their 27-character Mauritanian IBAN (and the bank's SWIFT/BIC where asked) | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times; intermediary bank handling |
| Bankily mobile wallet | Registered name and mobile number linked to the wallet | Wallet provider processing and correct phone number |
| Cash pickup | Full legal name matching their ID and the reference or control number | Agent location opening hours and ID verification at collection |
Delivery can also be affected by receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays in Mauritania, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details, which may delay or return a transfer.
How much does it cost to send money to Mauritania?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you always see the total and the amount your recipient will receive before you pay. What you pay 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 an incoming or cash-out fee at their end.
Ways to receive money in Mauritania
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into the recipient's Mauritanian bank account, for example with Banque Populaire de Mauritanie (BPM) or Orabank. You will need the recipient's name as held by the bank and their IBAN. Mauritanian IBANs are 27 characters: MR, two check digits and a 23-digit domestic identifier (RIB) made up of a five-digit bank code, five-digit branch code, 11-digit account number and a two-digit check key. Those bank and branch codes are part of the IBAN, not separate routing fields. The bank's SWIFT/BIC (eight or 11 characters) may also be requested.
Bankily mobile wallet
Bankily, operated by Banque Populaire de Mauritanie, accepts incoming transfers to a mobile wallet. Provide the recipient's registered name and the mobile number linked to their wallet so the credit lands on the correct account.
Cash pickup
The recipient collects cash at a participating agent location. Give their full legal name exactly as it appears on the ID they will show, and share the reference or control number from the app so they can collect.
What you need to send money to Mauritania
- A verified Coinepay account (registration and identity verification completed).
- The recipient's full legal name exactly as on their bank account, wallet or ID.
- The payout details for the method you choose: IBAN for bank deposit, wallet name and phone number for Bankily, or name and reference for cash pickup.
- The purpose of the transfer, if Coinepay asks for it.
The local currency is the Mauritanian ouguiya, currency code MRU. Note that Mauritania's central bank requires money-transfer providers to verify both the sender's and the beneficiary's identity before a transfer, so accurate recipient details matter.
