Frequently asked questions
What fees does GonzaPay charge for transfers?+
Fees follow per bank tariff guide, which means charges depend on the bank tariff guide for your route and amount. You should check the guide before sending so you understand the cost. Support across email, chat and phone can explain which tariff applies to your outward bank transfer.
How long do GonzaPay transfers take to arrive?+
Transfers complete in 1-3 working days. That window suits planned payments where you can allow time for bank processing. You should arrange urgent payments with timing in mind and ask support across email, chat and phone about current schedules.
How does the recipient receive the funds?+
Payouts go to bank. That means the recipient collects funds through a bank account rather than cash or wallet collection. You should confirm that the recipient holds an eligible account before you arrange the transfer.
How many currencies can I send with GonzaPay?+
GonzaPay covers 5. That focused coverage suits senders with regular routes within the supported range. You should confirm your currency pair with support across email, chat and phone before starting a transfer.
Who operates GonzaPay and where is it based?+
Transfers are arranged by Centenary Rural Development Bank Limited, based in Uganda and operating since 1983. That bank background shapes support and processing around branch and account systems. You deal with an established institution rather than a digital wallet service.
How can I get help with a GonzaPay transfer?+
Help is available across email, chat and phone. You can write by mail, use chat, call by phone or browse the help centre for guidance on tariffs and delivery. That range gives direct contact with bank staff during your transfer.
