How long does a transfer to Senegal from Italy take?

Transfers to Senegal from Italy 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.

A few things can slow a transfer down: receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local public holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect or incomplete recipient details. Double-checking the name and account number before you confirm helps avoid delays and returns.

How much does it cost to send money to Senegal from Italy?

The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the Coinepay app before you confirm the transfer, so you always see the full cost and roughly what the recipient will receive before you pay. The total depends on the amount you send, the currencies involved and the payout method you choose. Keep in mind that the recipient's own bank or wallet provider may apply its own incoming fee, so it is worth asking them to check before you send.

Ways to receive money in Senegal from Italy

Bank deposit

Money is paid into the recipient's Senegalese bank account. You will need the account-holder's full legal name and their IBAN, which in Senegal is 28 characters and begins with SN, plus the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC code. Ask the recipient for their own IBAN rather than building one from a local RIB; a Senegalese RIB's bank code, branch code, account number and check key are not a substitute for the SWIFT/BIC. Senegalese banks commonly used for payouts include Bank of Africa, Banque Atlantique, BHS, CBAO and Ecobank.

Orange Money

Funds are sent to the recipient's Orange Money wallet. You need the mobile number registered to the wallet and the account-holder's name as it appears on their account.

Wave

Funds are sent to the recipient's Wave wallet. Provide the registered mobile number and the matching account-holder name.

Cash pickup

The recipient collects the money in cash at a partner location. They must present valid identification and the transfer reference (such as an MTCN) that matches the sender and recipient details, so make sure the name you enter matches their ID exactly.

What you need to send money to Senegal from Italy

To send a money transfer to Senegal from Italy you will need:

• A verified Coinepay account (registration and identity verification completed).
• The recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their bank account, wallet or ID.
• The payout details for the chosen method: IBAN and SWIFT/BIC for a bank deposit, the registered mobile number for Orange Money or Wave, or the recipient's details for cash pickup.
• The purpose of the transfer, if you are asked for it.

Senegal's local currency is the West African CFA franc (XOF). Incoming transfers in Senegal are handled under UEMOA external-financial-relations rules, and the receiving institution must establish the nature of the transaction and the sender's identity before releasing funds, so clear, accurate details help the money arrive without hold-ups. Describe a family transfer as what it is; do not label it as an investment or loan.

How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe

Coinepay verifies your identity (KYC) before you can send, and screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions, and connections are encrypted. Every transfer has status tracking so you can see where your money is, and support is available 24/7. Transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations, and Coinepay may ask for documents such as the purpose or source of funds. Senegal is a supported destination; Coinepay does not send to sanctioned persons or to jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions.
