Sending and receiving money
Money for someone.
Prepare its journey.
Whether supporting a family in Musanze or receiving money from elsewhere, understand the method and its costs first.
Check before sending.
- 01
Confirm the recipient
Contact the recipient through a familiar channel. Verify names and the receiving destination; do not change details solely because of an unexpected message.
- 02
Look at the whole amount
Ask about the amount sent, sending fee, exchange rate if relevant and possible recipient charges. Compare what the recipient will actually receive.
- 03
Confirm timing and requirements
Ask about expected timing, collection method and required documents. Use an authorised provider and verify its contact information.
- 04
Keep transaction evidence
Keep the reference and enquiry channel. Confirm receipt before including money in a plan; do not immediately send again because a notification is late.
Ask Birunga first
- Does Birunga or an approved partner offer a service for sending or receiving money?
- If available, what fees, currencies, limits and requirements apply?
- How can I follow up a delayed, failed or incorrectly directed transaction?
This website does not send or receive money. The page does not confirm any particular Birunga service; check with the institution before making a transaction.
