The journey

Five simple steps to send money with SwiftTransfer.

The process is the same every time: create your account, add who you’re sending to, top up, choose how they receive the money, and verify your account only when higher limits are needed.

Step 1
Sign up

Sign up in minutes

Create your SwiftTransfer account using just your phone number — no long forms or complicated paperwork.

  • Enter your mobile number
  • Receive a one-time SMS code
  • Set your 4–6 digit PIN
  • Start sending straight away

Works on a wide range of smartphones, including older devices and low-data plans.

Step 2
Recipient

Choose who you’re sending money to

Add the person you’re supporting, whether they use a bank, mobile wallet, or prefer to collect cash.

  • Recipient’s full name
  • Their phone number
  • Payout method (bank, wallet, cash pickup, or QR withdrawal)

Save frequent recipients so future transfers take just a few taps.

Step 3
Fund

Top up & pay securely

Add money to your SwiftTransfer balance and see exactly what everything costs before you confirm.

  • Add funds using your bank card or Apple Pay
  • See the exchange rate and total cost upfront
  • View the final amount your recipient will receive

No hidden fees — just a clear total before you send.

Step 4
Payout

Choose how they get the money

Your recipient picks the option that fits their everyday life, based on what’s available locally.

  • Cash pickup via trusted local agents
  • Mobile wallet
  • Bank account
  • QR code withdrawal (where available)

Clear instructions are shown in-app or by SMS so collecting funds is straightforward.

Step 5
Verify

Verify your account (only when needed)

You can send instantly at lower amounts. Higher limits unlock automatically after a quick, secure verification.

SwiftTransfer KYC tiers (simple & transparent):
  • Basic: Send smaller amounts with minimal details and no ID upload.
  • Verified: Upload your ID and a selfie to unlock higher limits.
  • Premium: Add proof of address to access the highest limits available.

Identity checks are powered by regulated, compliance-focused partners. In most cases, verification takes just a few minutes.
