How to Safely Transfer Money to Your Loved Ones in Lebanon
If you’re a Lebanese expat looking to send money to your loved ones or a foreigner wanting to donate to initiatives in Lebanon, here are some reliable and more affordable ways to safely transfer money to Lebanon (apart from Western Union, BoB Finance, and other traditional transfer services).
Purpl
Sending money to Lebanon on Purpl currently works from 46+ countries. All the sender has to do is download either Paysend or Remitly, link their bank account or card to the platform, enter the amount, beneficiary details, and send via Purpl.
The great thing is that Purpl is actually TWICE as cheap for senders as other money transfer services. And receivers can cash out with zero fees from 100+ ATMs of Banque Libano Française in Lebanon – without even needing a card or bank account. The app also helps you locate the ATM closest to you.
You can download the free app on iOS and Android.
Taptap Send
Users based in Europe, the United States, Canada, and the UAE can transfer money to 30+ countries, including Lebanon. This app aims to make global remittances the most affordable and accessible they can be. It charges no or competitively low fees per transfer!
Once the sender completes the transfer, the recipient will receive an SMS from Taptap Send that includes the sender name, amount and pick-up code. You can cash out at any WHICH MONEY branch, and you don’t even have to download the app for the cash out process.
