Cash pickup

How does a Cash Pickup Work

A cash pickup allows your recipient to pick up their money in cash from a physical location, instead of through a digital deposit into a bank account. The process typically requires four steps:

1. Login to your Remeeta Dashboard and create your payment order instruction/ transfer. You submit your beneficiary details, currency and the amount you’re looking to send. Some banking providers require you to choose a specific location for pickup. Take care entering your beneficiary's name as shown on their ID to avoid issues with pickup.
2. Wait for processing. Turnaround varies by the banking partner, but most expedite cash pickups. You receive a transfer reference number once processed that your recipient can use for pickup — and that you can use to track the progress of your transfer. The status of the transfer would be updated accordingly in your dashboard.
3. Pickup cash. Armed with your transfer reference number and an ID, your beneficiary picks up their cash at the location you’ve specified or at a convenient location in the company’s network.
4. Get confirmation. After your recipient picks up the money, the status of the transfer in your dashboard would be updated simultaneously . 

Tips for picking up money in person

No matter where you are in the world, picking up cash from a transfer agent can be dangerous. Stay on your toes with five easy tips:

• Avoid unsafe areas. Find a location that’s safe and convenient.
• Call ahead. Confirm an agent’s location and business hours before visiting.
• Bring a friend. Carrying money alone can be dangerous. Ask a friend to come along.
• Deposit your money immediately. The likelihood of losing your money grows the longer you have it with you, so head straight to the bank after pickup.
• Keep your cash hidden. Openly carrying cash could make you a target. Put your money in a purse or wallet before leaving the office.
