You can send money to Samoa with Coinepay quickly and securely. Whether your money transfer to Samoa is for family, a friend or a business partner, check the available payout options and full transfer details in the app before you pay.
- Transfers can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; actual delivery time depends on the payout method and destination country.
- The exchange rate and all fees are shown before you confirm.
- Bank deposit, mobile wallet and cash pickup payouts are supported; check which options are available for your transfer in the app.
How to send money to Samoa
- Enter the amount you want to send and choose the currency the recipient gets. Samoa’s local currency is the Samoan tala (WST); check the available currency choices in the app.
- Add the recipient using their full legal name and choose an available payout method. Enter the bank, wallet or pickup details requested for that method.
- Review the exchange rate, fees, recipient details and estimated arrival time. Confirm and pay when everything is correct, then track the transfer’s status in Coinepay.
Ask the recipient to confirm their details before you start. A name or account-number mismatch can delay a transfer or cause a bank deposit to be returned.
How long does a transfer to Samoa take?
Transfers to Samoa can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and destination country, including 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 | An account at the receiving bank, with the account and bank details requested in the app. | Bank processing, cut-off times and any review of the payment details. |
| Digicel MyCash, if available | A MyCash wallet and the registered mobile number and name requested for the transfer. | Wallet-provider processing, account checks and the accuracy of the mobile number. |
| Vodafone M-Tala, if available | A registered M-Tala wallet and the recipient details requested in the app. | Wallet-provider processing, account checks and the accuracy of the recipient details. |
| Cash pickup | Acceptable identification and any pickup reference or instructions provided for the transfer. | Pickup-location availability, identity checks and provider processing. |
Receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details can all affect speed. A provider may also need more information before releasing a payment. Use the status tracker to see updates rather than assuming the estimate is a guaranteed delivery time.
How much does it cost to send money to Samoa?
Coinepay shows the exchange rate and every applicable fee in the app before you confirm a transfer. Review the amount you pay alongside the amount the recipient is expected to get. The total depends on factors including the amount, the currency choice and the payout method available for that transfer; check the current quote rather than relying on an earlier one.
If you choose bank deposit, ask the recipient to check whether their own bank charges for incoming payments. That is separate from the fees shown for your Coinepay transfer. If a quoted amount or payout option is not what you expected, return to the review screen and check the currency and recipient details before confirming.
Ways to receive money in Samoa
Available methods can vary by transfer. Choose from the options displayed in Coinepay, and confirm that the recipient can use the selected bank, wallet or pickup service before you pay.
Bank deposit
For a deposit into a Samoan bank account, use the account number exactly as the recipient’s bank provides it. Samoa has no registered national IBAN format, so do not invent an IBAN. The app will show which bank details it needs. If it requests a SWIFT/BIC, have the recipient confirm the correct instructions with their bank, including any branch or intermediary details.
For example, ANZ Samoa lists ANZBWSWW and asks incoming-payment senders for the account number shown on the recipient’s statement, full legal name and residential address, plus bank details. BSP Samoa lists BOSPWSWS, but the recipient should confirm their own instructions. National Bank of Samoa lists NBSLWSWS for incoming NZD, AUD and FJD transfers and says to request separate instructions for other currencies. These are bank-specific examples, not a substitute for the details requested in Coinepay.
Digicel MyCash mobile wallet
MyCash is a local wallet that can receive international remittances through listed sending partners. If Coinepay offers MyCash for your transfer, ask the recipient for the name and MyCash mobile number registered to the wallet, plus any other information the app requests. Do not select a different wallet merely because the recipient has a Samoan mobile number.
Vodafone M-Tala mobile wallet
M-Tala can receive international transfers for registered wallet users in Samoan tala. If it appears as a Coinepay payout option, enter the recipient’s registered wallet details exactly as requested. Have the recipient check that their M-Tala account is ready to receive a payment before you confirm.
Cash pickup
If cash pickup is offered, select an available pickup option in the app and enter the recipient’s legal name as it appears on their identification. After sending, share any pickup reference and collection instructions shown for the transfer directly with the recipient. They should check the location’s identification requirements and opening hours before travelling. Do not share a pickup reference publicly.
What you need to send money to Samoa
- A Coinepay account with identity verification completed. Be prepared to provide further information if requested.
- The recipient’s full legal name, matching their bank or wallet account or the identification they will use for cash pickup.
- The payout details requested in the app: for example, a bank account number and bank instructions, a registered mobile-wallet number, or cash-pickup information.
- The purpose of the transfer and supporting documents, such as information about the source of funds, if requested.
The local currency is the Samoan tala (WST). Check the currencies offered for your particular transfer in the app. A Samoa resident receiving into a foreign-currency deposit account should also check their bank’s requirements: Central Bank approval is required to open such an account, which is different from an ordinary tala account.
How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe
Coinepay requires identity verification and screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists. Transfers are subject to local regulations, and additional documents may be requested to establish the purpose or source of funds. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions. Samoan receiving institutions may carry out their own customer and transaction checks.
Use an encrypted connection when accessing your account, and enter payment details only through the Coinepay app or dashboard. Every transfer has status tracking, so you can check its progress in the 24/7 self-service dashboard or mobile app. If a transfer is on hold or details need correcting, use the status information and contact Coinepay support; do not send a replacement payment without first checking what happened to the original.
