How long does a transfer to Niger take?
Transfers to Niger 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 always shown in the app before you confirm.
| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposit | Account number or IBAN and bank name | Bank processing and cut-off times |
| Airtel Money | Registered mobile wallet number | Wallet provider confirmation |
| Moov Money | Registered mobile wallet number | Wallet provider confirmation |
| Cash pickup | Full name and reference number | Agent location hours and availability |
Several things can affect speed: receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays in Niger, identity or compliance checks on the transfer, and incorrect or incomplete recipient details. Double-check the name and account or wallet number before you confirm to avoid delays.
How much does it cost to send money to Niger?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the app before the transfer is confirmed, so you see the total and the amount your recipient receives before you pay. What you pay depends on the amount 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 withdrawal fee, as that is outside Coinepay's control.
Ways to receive money in Niger
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into the recipient's account at a bank in Niger. You will usually need the recipient's full name, their account number or IBAN and the bank name; a bank code or BIC/SWIFT may be requested for some banks. Niger follows the BCEAO (West African) banking format, so account details may be presented as a RIB or IBAN beginning with the country prefix.
Airtel Money
Send directly to the recipient's Airtel Money wallet using the mobile number registered to their account. The name on the transfer should match the name on the wallet.
Moov Money
Pay into the recipient's Moov Money (Moov Africa) wallet using their registered mobile number. Confirm the number carefully, as funds go to whichever wallet is linked to it.
Cash pickup
The recipient collects cash at a participating agent location. They will need to present valid photo identification and the transfer reference number, and the name must match exactly.
