Do I need a bank account in The United Kingdom to send money to French Polynesia?
Not necessarily. Many international services operating in The United Kingdom offer cash transfers to French Polynesia, so you can send money without a bank account. However, if you’re using online banking or bank-to-bank transfer from The United Kingdom to French Polynesia, an account will be required.
Will the recipient in French Polynesia need identification to receive money from The United Kingdom?
Yes. If you're sending money from The United Kingdom to French Polynesia for cash pickup, the recipient in French Polynesia must show a valid ID and sometimes the transaction number. This helps ensure that money sent from The United Kingdom is securely delivered in French Polynesia.
How to calculate taxes on foreign payments?
If for some reason the bank's rate on that day was higher than the Central Bank's rate (the rarest
case), the "service" received is also taxed. It is easier to follow this point than to deal with
additional calculations.
