No need to fill in a form every time you want to send money. Senders Apply Now The form lets you fill out your sender details and details of who receives the funds in Samoa - simple. The senders application form has all the information needed.

Sending Money: Simply insert the linked number on your sender card into the reference field when sending funds. Each card is automatically linked to your beneficiary by its card number and the customer code on the back - so you can use either as a reference. We recommend the customer code for Internet banking as it is shorter and easier to use. For over the counter deposits please use the last 10 digits of your card number. Just send the money over the bank counter or by Internet bank transfer.

Once you have sent the funds, we look after the rest. Technocash and Pasifika Card offices in Samoa will manage the whole transaction.

Rates: We provide our daily remittance rates on our home page and on this page. We are confident you will be pleased with our competitive rates and low fees. We try our best to provide you MORE Tala.
