You can safely send money to your friends and associates in Guinea-Bissau using one of several methods. Finding the best way to send money to Guinea-Bissau depends on several factors, including how soon your recipient needs the money, where in Guinea-Bissau they reside, your home country, and your method of payment.

• International bank transfer: This money transfer method is a straightforward process of transferring money from your bank checking or savings account to your recipient’s bank account in Guinea-Bissau. To make this wire transfer, you must get your recipient’s international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. However, it can take several business days before they receive the money in Guinea-Bissau. So, this isn't a good option for money transfers that require urgent delivery.

• Money transfer agents: Traditional money transfer agents provide a third-party service that helps you pay for your money transfer to Guinea-Bissau. Although money transfer agents can deliver money to your recipient relatively quickly, they often charge high money transfer fees and offer less than desirable exchange rates.

• International money orders: This money transfer method allows you to send your remittance like a check. After purchasing a prepaid money order at a bank, post office, or retail vendor, you can simply mail it to your recipient, who will have no problem exchanging it for West African Financial Community franc (XOF). However, your international money order could take a long time to reach your recipient in Guinea-Bissau through the unpredictable mail service. Your money order could even get lost in the mail. Expedited services are available, but these can be very expensive.

• Ria: This online money transfer service provides a simple way to safely transfer money to Guinea-Bissau or any of the over 160 countries Ria serves worldwide. Using Ria, your Guinea-Bissau remittance could reach your recipient in as little as 15 minutes, depending on your payment choice. Ria money transfer fees are very affordable with no hidden costs and excellent exchange rates. 

If you go with Ria, you can send money to Guinea-Bissau on the website, the app, or in person by visiting one of the thousands of partnering locations globally. Your friend in Guinea-Bissau also has many choices for how to receive the money, including a direct deposit in their bank account, a cash pickup at a nearby participating store, or a credit to their mobile wallet. 

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to five business days to send money to an overseas location — including Guinea-Bissau. However, how long it takes depends on several factors, such as:

1. Transaction type

4. Whether Ria requires additional information for security purposes

5. When you initiate the transfer

Some currencies or transfer methods are only available during local business hours. If you set up a Guinea-Bissau remittance outside of typical business hours, on a holiday, or on the weekend, you could experience delays.

If you’re looking for the fastest way to send money to Guinea-Bissau, you may want to use a debit or credit card for your transaction. These methods may incur additional fees, so be aware of that. However, they also typically finalize the same day they’re completed — sometimes within minutes -meaning your recipient could have the money almost immediately.

And if time isn’t a concern, consider setting up a bank transfer instead. This option usually takes three to five business days and comes with fewer fees.

How long does it take to send money to Guinea-Bissau?

The cost of sending money to Guinea-Bissau depends on several key factors, such as:

1. The payment method you use

2. The payout method (that is, the way your intended recipient gets the money)

4. Currency exchange rates

Bank remittances are usually the cheapest option, while credit and debit card transfers can come with additional fees. This is especially true with credit card payments, as some credit card companies will charge extra. Keep in mind, though, that international money transfers usually come with certain charges — regardless of how you go about it.

As an international remittance service, Ria strives to keep our rates and fees as low as possible on money transfers to Guinea-Bissau and other countries. We do that by working with financial institutions worldwide to get you the lowest possible fees and best exchange rates. At times, we also have promo codes to cut down on some of the more unavoidable fees.

The overall transfer amount includes all fees. If you want to see the cost of sending money to Guinea-Bissau, here are your options:

1. Before you complete the transfer (but after you’ve logged into your account): You can see what it costs to send money to Guinea-Bissau via the app or website. Simply log into your account and go to “Send” or “Send Money.” Then, select your destination country, how much you want to send, your payout currency, and your payment and delivery methods.

2. Before you initiate a transfer (without logging in): You can go to Ria’s website for an estimate of what it will cost.

Both options can help prevent you from being surprised by any fees or charges associated with sending money overseas.

How much does it cost to send money to Guinea-Bissau?

We offer several ways to track your money transfer to Guinea-Bissau, but the easiest option is to use our Track a Transfer tool, which provides real-time updates of your transfer — no matter where you are.

Here’s how to use this free online feature:

1. After logging into your Ria account: Once logged in, choose “Track” (from the app) or “Track a transfer” (from the website). Then, input the transfer’s unique personal identification number (PIN) to see its status.

2. Without logging into your Ria account: If you don’t have a Ria account, you can still use the Track a Transfer feature. You’ll still need the unique PIN, however. This enables both the sender and recipient to see the transfer status at any point.

Two things are worth noting.

1. If you reside in Australia, you must also provide your birth date and recipient’s country (Guinea-Bissau) to track the transfer.

2. As the sender, you’ll also receive emailed updates regarding the transfer’s status and any major changes.

How can I track my transfer to Guinea-Bissau?

There are several ways to send money to Guinea-Bissau safely and efficiently. Which method is the best for you is a personal decision — it all comes down to how fast you need the Guinea-Bissau money transfer to arrive, how you want your friends and family to receive it, and how you want to pay.

Bank transfers: You can use your bank to transfer money to a bank in Guinea-Bissau through an international wire transfer. With this method, there’s no cash involved — you simply instruct your bank to send money to your recipient’s bank account. 

To complete a wire transfer through your bank, you usually must provide your recipient’s name, address, contact information, and banking information. This includes their international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. 

There are several drawbacks to using a bank transfer to send money to Guinea-Bissau. For one, both you and your recipient need to have bank accounts at institutions that allow international transfers. 

For another, they’re typically expensive. Some banks charge as much as $50 for the convenience of an international wire transfer to the sender. And a few charge a fee to the recipient as well. In addition, your bank may limit the amount of money you can send through this method.

Money transfer agents: Traditional money transfer agents allow customers to send money abroad using cash. These agents usually have offices you can visit to fund the transfer with cash. Your recipient can then visit the transfer agent’s office closest to them and receive the money as cash. 

Of course, one of the main drawbacks of using this method for sending money is that your recipient must live near a transfer agent’s office. Another is the fact that these agents sometimes have complicated pricing structures, and fees and exchange rates can vary widely.

Money orders: Sending an international money order is similar to sending a check through the mail. You can buy a pre-paid money order certificate from your local post office or bank and then send it directly to your recipient via international mail. They can then redeem the certificate for cash.

There are several big disadvantages to this money-sending method, mainly that it’s expensive and slow. 

Online money transfer services: Online money transfer services such as Ria make it easy to send money to Guinea-Bissau and more than 165 other countries around the globe. Ria charges no sneaky hidden fees, so your Guinea-Bissau remittance will go further. 

Ria also offers great exchange rates and allows you to send money through our convenient mobile app or any of the 500,000-plus participating locations. Ria offers a quick alternative to other money-sending methods. Many transfers arrive within minutes. Send money with Ria now.

How do I sign up for Ria so I can send money to Guinea-Bissau?

Your money transfer option determines the type of information you need to transfer money to Guinea-Bissau. For example, you must know your recipient’s address for an international money order, the Guinea-Bissau bank’s IBAN for international bank transfers, and other standard information.

If you’re using Ria to send money to Guinea-Bissau online, use this checklist to gather the necessary information:

• The recipient’s full name as it appears on their government-issued photo ID

• The Guinea-Bissau city and province where your recipient resides

• The U.S. dollar amount of the Guinea-Bissau remittance you plan to send

• Your payment information, such as debit card number or bank account details

• Payout details, such as bank account names for a bank transfer or a partner location for a cash pickup

Depending on how your recipient chooses to receive the money, you may need to submit more information, such as a mobile account number or a phone number. 

What information will I need to send money to Guinea-Bissau?

You can set up a Guinea-Bissau money transfer from the Ria app or website. Start by signing into your existing account or create a new one if you don’t have one. If you haven’t verified your phone number or set up your online profile yet, you can do that now.

Since this is your first money transfer to Guinea-Bissau, you’ll need to add a new recipient to your account — that is, the person who will receive money in Guinea-Bissau. Adding a recipient is easy. Just provide basic information about them, such as their name, current location, and phone number. If you want to transfer money to their bank, input their bank account details as well.

Once you’ve added a recipient to your account, you can decide how much money to send them — either in your currency or theirs. At this point, you can also select the payout method. Remember, each payout method comes with its own advantages and fees.

With that done, simply choose your payment method for the Guinea-Bissau remittance. You can add a new payment method to your account on the website or the app.

Once you’ve completed that first transfer, the process becomes even easier as your recipient’s basic information is saved to your account. Ria doesn’t store your recipient’s bank account information, however, so you will need to input that again.

How do I set up my first money transfer to Guinea-Bissau?

Some money transfers go through within minutes of setting them up. However, you might have to wait a few hours or days before your transfer is complete.

That’s where tracking your transfer comes into play. You can use the Track a Transfer feature for status updates on your Guinea-Bissau remittance. You’ll just need the PIN, which you can find in your account or the confirmation email you received after scheduling the transfer. Your recipient can also use this tool.

A standard money transfer to Guinea-Bissau doesn’t take very long to complete, though it depends on the payment and payout methods. If you’ve chosen a debit or credit card transfer, your recipient should receive money in Guinea-Bissau within minutes. A bank transfer, on the other hand, can take several business days to complete.

Certain factors may delay your transfer. For example, if you set up the transfer outside local business hours or on a holiday or weekend, it might take a little longer. In some cases, Ria will also request additional information from you for security purposes, which could cause additional delays.

What happens after I send my money transfer to Guinea-Bissau?

Senders and recipients can use Ria’s Track a Transfer feature for real-time transfer updates. All you need is the transfer’s PIN and order number.

Senders can also use the Ria app to track the transaction — just tap the “Track” option. In addition, senders will be notified by email when their recipient has picked up or received the money — or if there’s another major status change.

How do I view my transfer status when sending money to Guinea-Bissau?

You can receive your Ria money transfer in Guinea-Bissau through three convenient ways.

If you are uncertain about this information, your banker can give you the correct details. 

• Cash pickup: You and the sender can pick a  participating location near you in Guinea-Bissau where you can safely pick up your money. When you go to receive the money, take along your government-issued photo ID to verify your identity.

How can I send money to a bank account in Guinea-Bissau?

Hands down, sending money via electronic transfer is the safest way to send money to Guinea-Bissau.

In the old days, it was common for people to send remittances by mailing cash. Not only does this method take a long time (they call it “snail mail” for a good reason), but it’s also just not safe. The mailed money could get stolen or lost at any point during its long journey.

Instead, using an online money transfer service like Ria ensures that your money gets exactly where you intend it to go. 

In addition, Ria’s team of world-class security experts works around the clock to monitor your money transfers and keep a watchful eye out for unusual behavior. Ria’s software allows the team to spot any suspicious activity long before any harm can be done to your account.

Plus, Ria never stores your payment details on its servers. So, your credit or debit card or bank account information will never be compromised in Ria’s system.

Your safety is Ria’s number one priority when sending money to Guinea-Bissau.

What is the safest way to send money to Guinea-Bissau?

The following four money transfer methods are the most common ways of safely sending money to a friend in Guinea-Bissau:

• International bank transfer: This method allows you to do a bank-to-bank money transfer to your friend in Guinea-Bissau, but your friend may have to wait a few business days before receiving the cash.

• International money order: You can send money to Guinea-Bissau through the mail with a prepaid money order. However, your friend may have to wait even longer than a bank transfer, and you may spend a lot on postage.

• Third-party money transfer agent: This method can be quick, but it may not be the best way to send money to Guinea-Bissau because of the high fees and varying exchange rates. Also, you can’t be sure of getting the best exchange rates

• Ria: Ria’s app or website provides a convenient online platform to transfer money safely and easily to Guinea-Bissau. You can also use Ria by visiting one of the thousands of partner locations globally. In addition, your friend can choose one of many payout options, some of which will transfer the money in a few minutes.

If you choose Ria as your best way to send money to Guinea-Bissau, you can follow these instructions with our website or app:

1. Register for a free Ria account by typing in your full name, date of birth, and contact information. You may need to provide more information, depending on your country of residence.

2. Select the “Send” or “Send Money” prompt.

3. Pick “Guinea-Bissau” from the country drop-down list.

4. Type in the dollar amount you plan to use as a remittance to Guinea-Bissau. When you enter the amount, you will instantly see the exchange rate, Ria’s fees, and the amount your friend will receive in West African Financial Community franc (XOF). 

5. Now, it’s time to choose your payment options. Depending on your location, you may use a debit or credit card, linked bank account, or other payment types. You can also pay in cash by visiting a nearby partner location.

6. Select how your friend wants to receive the money in Guinea-Bissau. The available options in this country are an in-person cash pickup, a direct deposit into the recipient’s checking or savings account, or a credit via mobile wallet (MTN MoMo or Orange Money).

8. In your Recipient List, enter your friend’s full name exactly as it is on their government-issued photo ID. Then, add the city and province where your friend resides.

9. Enter all relevant delivery method information, such as the preferred cash pickup location, bank account details, or mobile wallet deposit information.

10. Provide your payment information.

If you prefer to pay cash for your money transfer to your friend in Guinea-Bissau, visit a partner 7-Eleven store and follow the PayNearMe instructions to finish the transaction. For this step, you will need the barcode you receive on the Ria webpage after setting up your payment.

If you used the Ria app, locate the barcode with one of these methods.

• Click Fund Transfer on the fund transfer page.

• Select the transfer from the Activity Page or tap Pay.

After you have paid for the remittance, you will receive a personal identification number (PIN). This PIN provides an easy and efficient way to track your money transfer until it reaches your friend in Guinea-Bissau. If you share the PIN with your friend, they can easily track the transaction and estimate their funds' arrival time.
