- Bring the receiver’s information. The receiver will need to supply their reference number and ID to be able to verify that they are the intended recipient. The reference number is something that you – the receiver – were provided on the transaction receipt or in your confirmation emails online. ID refers to a valid government issued photo identification such as a passport, national ID or residency permit. They may also be asked to provide proof of address if this is not included on their identification.
- Complete the transaction. The receiver will need to complete a receive form using the reference number and identity documents they brought.
