No, your recipient doesn’t need the LemFi app to receive money.
What this means
LemFi sends funds directly to your recipient’s local bank account or mobile money wallet:
- Bank or mobile money transfers: funds go straight into their existing account, so they don’t need to download anything.
- WeChat or Alipay: they’ll need to authorize the transaction in that app.
- Peer-to-peer (P2P): if you’re sending to another LemFi user, they’ll need the app to receive it instantly.
What you should do
Just make sure your recipient’s details are correct when you send. Your recipient doesn’t need to sign up for anything.
What to expect
Once the transfer completes, the money is delivered directly to their account, with no action needed from them.
