You can send money to Vanuatu with Coinepay quickly and securely. Whether your money transfer to Vanuatu is for family, a friend or a business partner, check the available payout options and 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 Coinepay 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 Vanuatu
- Enter the amount. Choose how much to send and the currency the recipient will receive, such as Vanuatu vatu (VUV), if offered for your transfer.
- Add the recipient. Enter their full legal name, then choose an available payout method and provide the details it requests.
- Review and send. Check the exchange rate, fees, recipient details and estimated arrival time. Confirm and pay, then follow the transfer status in the app.
Before confirming, ask the recipient which account, wallet or pickup option they can use. A wallet that operates in Vanuatu is not necessarily available for every sending country or transfer provider, so rely on the payout choices displayed for your transaction.
How long does a transfer to Vanuatu take?
Transfers to Vanuatu can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but actual delivery time depends on the payout method, destination country and 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 eligible account in their name and the account details requested for the transfer. | Receiving-bank processing, business hours and checks on incoming payments. |
| Mobile wallet, if available | An eligible wallet account, such as Digicel MyCash or Vodafone M-Vatu, and its registered mobile number. | Wallet-provider processing, account status and any required checks. |
| Cash pickup, if available | Acceptable identification and any pickup reference issued for the transfer. | Pickup-location hours, provider processing and identity checks. |
Receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect or incomplete details can all affect speed. A Vanuatu bank or intermediary may also request information about the payment before releasing an incoming transfer. Check the app’s estimate for your specific transfer rather than assuming that one delivery time applies to every payout method.
How much does it cost to send money to Vanuatu?
Coinepay shows the exchange rate and every Coinepay fee in the app before you confirm a transfer. Review both the amount you pay and the amount the recipient is expected to receive. The total can vary with the amount, the currencies involved and the payout method available for your transaction.
If you choose bank deposit, ask the recipient to check whether their own bank charges an incoming-payment fee. An intermediary bank may also be involved in an international bank payment. If the amount arriving in the account matters for a bill or supplier invoice, confirm the bank’s requirements with the recipient before sending. Do not send a series of smaller payments to avoid a bank’s documentation or reporting checks.
Ways to receive money in Vanuatu
The app shows the payout methods available for your particular transfer. Confirm the recipient’s preferred option before you enter their details; the existence of a local wallet or cash network does not by itself confirm that a Coinepay payout to it is available.
Bank deposit
The recipient needs an account at a Vanuatu bank and should give you their account number exactly as it appears on their bank statement, plus their full legal name. Ask the bank which further details the transfer requires, such as the recipient’s residential address, bank name and address, and SWIFT/BIC. ANZ Bank (Vanuatu) Ltd, for example, lists ANZBVUVX as its SWIFT/BIC; this is not a code for other Vanuatu banks. Vanuatu has no nationally registered IBAN format, so do not create an IBAN or assume an account-number length. Use the recipient bank’s own instructions for any additional code. The receiving bank may request identification or evidence of the payment’s purpose or source of funds.
Digicel MyCash mobile wallet
Digicel MyCash describes international remittances into its Vanuatu mobile wallet. If MyCash appears as a payout choice in the Coinepay app for your transfer, ask the recipient for the mobile number registered to their MyCash account and enter their legal name as requested. Have them check that the wallet is active and able to receive the payment. Do not select a different wallet simply because it uses the same phone number.
Vodafone M-Vatu mobile wallet
Vodafone M-Vatu advertises remittances from Australia into M-Vatu accounts; that does not establish availability from other sending countries or through Coinepay. Choose M-Vatu only if it appears among the app’s payout options for your transfer. The recipient should confirm their registered M-Vatu number and the account name you must enter.
Cash pickup
If cash pickup is offered in the app, select an available pickup option and make sure the recipient’s name matches their acceptable photo ID. Share the pickup instructions and any reference issued for the transfer directly with the recipient. For example, Western Union cash collection in Vanuatu requires acceptable ID and a transfer control number; follow the requirements of the pickup provider shown for your actual Coinepay transfer, which may differ.
What you need to send money to Vanuatu
- A Coinepay account: Register and complete any identity verification required for your transfer. Keep your own identity and payment information accurate.
- The recipient’s full legal name: Enter it exactly as it appears on their bank or wallet account, or on the ID they will use for cash pickup.
- Correct payout details: Depending on the method, these may include a Vanuatu bank account number and bank details, a registered wallet number, or the information needed to arrange cash collection.
- The reason for the payment: Be ready to state its purpose and provide documents about the purpose or source of funds if requested.
Vanuatu’s local currency is the Vanuatu vatu (VUV), also written VT. Check the receiving currency displayed in the app before confirming; do not assume every currency and payout combination is available. If you are paying a Vanuatu business, ask it to confirm the account name and payment reference needed to match the transfer to your invoice.
How Coinepay keeps your transfer safe
Coinepay transfers are subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and applicable local regulations. Coinepay does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of jurisdictions under comprehensive sanctions, and customers and counterparties are screened against sanctions lists. Coinepay may ask for documents explaining a transfer’s purpose or source of funds. Providing accurate information helps the receiving institution review the payment without avoidable discrepancies.
Financial services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions. You can review the transfer details before confirming and track its status afterward in the Coinepay app or self-service dashboard. Access to the dashboard is available around the clock. If a status is unclear or the recipient reports a problem, contact Coinepay support with the transfer details; do not share your password or verification codes with the recipient or anyone claiming they can speed up delivery.
