For your recipient
Does my recipient need to do anything?
Bank account: No action needed. Money is deposited directly into their account once the transfer is processed.
Cash pickup and Home delivery (Caribe Express): Yes. For cash pickup, they need to visit a Caribe Express location. For home delivery, they'll receive a call to schedule a time, and must be present to collect it.
Pay to Card: No action needed. Money is sent directly to their debit card.
What details does my recipient need to provide?
Bank account: Their full legal name (as registered with their bank), bank name, and account number.
Cash pickup (Caribe Express): Their full legal name (as it appears on their ID) and a pickup location.
Home delivery (Caribe Express): Their full legal name (as it appears on their ID), mobile number, and town or city. Taptap Send only supports transfers to individual recipients, not business or organisational accounts.
Pay to Card: Their full legal name (as registered on the card) and card number.
How does my recipient cash out?
Bank account: Funds are available directly in their bank account.
Cash pickup (Caribe Express): Your recipient can collect their money at any Caribe Express location. They'll need to bring an original physical ID (cédula or passport), photocopies aren't accepted. They should also have the transaction number (which you can find by tapping the transfer in the Taptap Send app and copying the Transfer ID), along with the sender's name and the transfer amount. For transfers under roughly $150, someone else can collect on the recipient's behalf if they bring both their own ID and the recipient's original ID. Above that amount, collection must be done in person by the recipient. Use the Caribe Express branch locator to find the nearest location and opening hours.
Home delivery (Caribe Express): Caribe Express delivers cash directly to your recipient's address, usually within a few hours. Your recipient can also call Caribe Express directly on 809-221-5418 to arrange or check on a delivery.
Pay to Card: Funds are sent directly to the card and can be used at ATMs or for purchases.
For further help, your recipient can contact Caribe Express directly.
