Ways to receive money in Samoa from New Zealand

Bank deposit

Funds are paid into the recipient's Samoan bank account. You will need their full legal account name exactly as held at the bank, their account number as shown on the account or statement, and the receiving bank's branch and SWIFT/BIC code. For example, ANZ Bank (Samoa) Limited on Beach Road, Apia uses the SWIFT/BIC ANZBWSWW; details for other banks must be obtained from the recipient's own bank. Samoa does not use an IBAN format, so an account number is used rather than an IBAN.

Vodafone M-Tala

Registered Vodafone M-Tala wallets in Samoa can receive transfers from New Zealand, with the balance credited in Samoan tala. The recipient needs an M-Tala account registered in their own name and the mobile number linked to it.

Digicel MyCash

Digicel MyCash is another mobile-wallet option. The recipient needs a registered MyCash wallet and the mobile number tied to it to receive the funds.

Cash pickup

The recipient collects cash at a participating agent location. They will need the transfer reference number and acceptable photo identification; some ID types may require a second document. Availability can depend on agent hours and local currency availability.
