FAQs about the WorldRemit Wallet available in Somaliland

Here we answer a few common questions that relate to the WorldRemit Wallet in Somaliland.

Please note:

When Sending Money to the WorldRemit Wallet:

When sending to someone new in Somaliland, you will no longer see the wallet as an available delivery option. Senders will still be able to complete transactions to Wallet as normal if a Wallet user requests money to their Wallet through the Request Money feature, and you will be able to Send Again on app to a Wallet user you have previously sent to. 

When Receiving Money in the WorldRemit Wallet:

You can still receive money in the WorldRemit Wallet from a new Sender, but only if you request via the Wallet. To do this, simply tap “Request” on the Wallet tab in the app and enter your desired amount. Then you can share a payment link that will deposit funds directly into your wallet if used by the Sender.
