Send money to Somalia

Somalia is compared here from 4 sending markets — the USA, the UK, Canada and Sweden. Recipients are paid in Somali shilling (SOS), usually by the EVC Plus, Sahal and Premier mobile wallets, plus cash pickup.

Mobile money is the default in Somalia and reaches far more people than banking — wallet delivery is usually faster and more reliable than cash collection outside the main cities.

Where are you sending from?

Providers that reach Somalia

Each name links to that provider's own page: every corridor it appears on, and every one it is documented as not serving.

Checked and not available

  • LemFi from the USA — Somalia is absent from LemFi's supported-destination list.
  • Ria Money Transfer from the USA — Somalia does not appear among the 38 African destinations listed on Ria's US send-to-Africa page, though Ria does serve the corridor from the UK.
  • Taptap Send from the USA — Somalia is absent from Taptap Send's published destination list.
  • Wise from Sweden — Wise publishes no Sweden-to-Somalia page. The address redirects to the Wise homepage rather than returning a not-found error, which is the same failure mode recorded for Myanmar from Singapore and the UK from Ireland.

Figures are each provider's published terms as read on the corridor pages; recipient amounts are like-for-like quotes checked in October 2026. Fees and rates change — confirm the final quote with the provider before sending. How this site compares providers
