What information do I need from my recipient to send bank transfers to Senegal?

  • 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.

  • Sending reason. Please indicate whether it is “family or friend support,” “purchase of services,” “property payment,” or “sending funds to self”.

  • Account details. The Basic Bank Account Number (BBAN) is 24 characters in total (no spaces or dashes). This consists of 5 character bank code, 5 digit branch code, 12 digit account number and 2 digit RIB key (e.g. ABCDE1234501234567891000)

  • Mobile number. We use this to send an SMS notification to your recipient with the transaction reference number which they will need in order to collect the funds. We will also inform them when their funds are ready to be collected.

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

Please ensure that all your recipient’s details are correct. Once you make your transaction, it is difficult for us to amend or stop the transfer, although we will always try our best to do so.
