- See the estimated arrival time: Transfers can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; actual delivery time depends on the payout method and destination country.

How to send money to Sao Tome and Principe
- Enter the amount you want to send and choose the currency the recipient gets. Check the available currency options in the Coinepay app.
- Add the recipient using their full legal name, then 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 if everything is correct, then track the transfer's status in the app.
Ask the recipient which payout method they can use before you begin. A bank account, mobile wallet and cash pickup each require different details; choosing an option the recipient cannot access can delay delivery or require a change to the transfer.
How long does a transfer to Sao Tome and Principe take?
Transfers to Sao Tome and Principe can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but actual delivery 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 able to receive the payment and the correct account and bank details | Receiving bank processing, cut-off times and checks |
| Mobile wallet | An active account with a wallet provider offered for this transfer, plus the registered mobile number or other requested identifier | Provider processing and whether the wallet details match |
| Cash pickup | Access to an available pickup location and valid identification that matches the transfer | Pickup location hours, identification checks and cash availability |
Receiving bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details can affect speed. Use the estimate displayed for your specific transfer rather than assuming one payout method will always be faster. If the status changes or the estimate passes, check the transfer tracker and contact Coinepay support for help.
How much does it cost to send money to Sao Tome and Principe?
The Coinepay app shows the exchange rate and every Coinepay fee before you confirm a transfer. The amount you send, the sending and receiving currencies, and the payout method can affect the total. Compare the amount you will pay with the amount the recipient is shown to receive on the review screen before confirming.
If the recipient chooses bank deposit, ask them to check whether their own bank charges an incoming-payment fee. A charge applied by their bank may affect what they ultimately receive. If a currency or payout option is not displayed, do not assume it is available for this route; check the choices shown in the app or ask support.
Ways to receive money in Sao Tome and Principe
The available payout choices appear when you set up the transfer. Confirm the recipient's preferred method with them first, especially if they need the funds in a particular account or must travel to collect cash.
Bank deposit
For a deposit to a bank in Sao Tome and Principe, ask the recipient for the full legal name on the account and their account details exactly as provided by their bank. Use the local account format and any bank identifier or code requested in the Coinepay app; the recipient's bank can confirm which details to supply. Do not substitute a card number for an account number unless the app specifically asks for it.
Mobile wallet
Choose a mobile wallet only if the recipient's provider is listed for this transfer in the app. Wallet availability and the requested identifier can vary. The recipient should confirm their provider's name, the mobile number or wallet identifier registered to their account, and the legal name associated with it. Do not enter a number for a different provider simply because it has the same local dialing code.
Cash pickup
If cash pickup is offered, select an available pickup option and tell the recipient where to find the collection instructions. They will need valid identification bearing the same legal name entered on the transfer and may need a reference number or other details shown in the app. They should check the pickup location's requirements and opening hours before visiting.
What you need to send money to Sao Tome and Principe
- A verified Coinepay account: Register and complete the identity checks required for your transfer.
- The recipient's exact legal name: Match the name on their bank or wallet account, or on the identification they will use for cash pickup.
- The correct payout details: Have the requested account and bank information, wallet identifier or pickup details ready. Confirm them with the recipient rather than guessing.
- A reason for the transfer, if requested: Coinepay may also request documents supporting the purpose or source of funds.
The local currency is the Sao Tome and Principe dobra (STN). Select the receiving currency offered in the app and check the final payout amount before confirming; do not assume that every sending currency or payout option is available for every transfer.
How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe
Coinepay applies identity verification and screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists. Transfers are subject to applicable local regulations, and additional information or documents may be requested to complete a review. Coinepay does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions.
Licensed partner financial institutions provide Coinepay's card issuance and fund services. For remittances, review the recipient and payment details in the app before confirming: an incorrect name or payout identifier can prevent the intended person from receiving the funds. Each transfer has status tracking, so you can follow its progress through the Coinepay app or the 24/7 self-service dashboard. If you notice an error or an unfamiliar status, contact support; do not send another payment merely to bypass a pending review.
