Will the recipient in Lebanon need identification to receive money from Indonesia?
Yes. If you're sending money from Indonesia to Lebanon for cash pickup, the recipient in Lebanon must show a valid ID and sometimes the transaction number. This helps ensure that money sent from Indonesia is securely delivered in Lebanon.
Can I transfer money in another currency?
Yes, most services allow you to transfer money in various currencies.
The exchange rate will be set by the service at the time of the transfer.
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.
Do I need a bank account in Indonesia to send money to Lebanon?
Not necessarily. Many international services operating in Indonesia offer cash transfers to Lebanon, so you can send money without a bank account. However, if you’re using online banking or bank-to-bank transfer from Indonesia to Lebanon, an account will be required.
