Do I need a bank account in Costa Rica to send money to Indonesia?
Not necessarily. Many international services operating in Costa Rica offer cash transfers to Indonesia, so you can send money without a bank account. However, if you’re using online banking or bank-to-bank transfer from Costa Rica to Indonesia, an account will be required.
Will the recipient in Indonesia need identification to receive money from Costa Rica?
Yes. If you're sending money from Costa Rica to Indonesia for cash pickup, the recipient in Indonesia must show a valid ID and sometimes the transaction number. This helps ensure that money sent from Costa Rica is securely delivered in Indonesia.
