  • Full name. To avoid any delays, the recipient’s name should match the name on their bank statement exactly.

  • Address. We need your recipient’s city.

  • Account details. We need your recipient’s (1) bank name, (2) branch name and (3) account number.

  • Mobile number. We ask for a contact number in case we need to provide any important updates.

  • Email (optional) - We use this to send an email to your recipient with details of your transaction. This is particularly useful in case they have issues receiving the SMS notifications.
