FAQs

Are there limits on how much I can send from Portugal to an Indonesian mobile wallet?

Yes, transfer limits exist and are enforced by both the sending service and the receiving wallet provider. ACE has transaction limits that depend on your account's verification level. More importantly, popular Indonesian wallets often have a balance cap, meaning your recipient cannot receive funds that would exceed that limit. You must check the current maximum allowed on both platforms before confirming a large transfer.

What is the fee structure for a transfer from Portugal to an Indonesian mobile wallet?

The cost involves a transparent, two-part structure displayed upfront by ACE. First, there is a distinct Transfer Fee charged for the service, which varies based on the amount and payment method chosen in Portugal. Second, ACE applies an Exchange Rate Margin (or spread) to the interbank rate when converting your Euros (EUR) to Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), ensuring you see the final exchange rate before you commit to the transaction.

What happens if I enter an incorrect mobile number or recipient name?

Entering incorrect details, particularly a mismatched mobile number or recipient name, will likely cause the transfer to fail or be instantly rejected by the Indonesian mobile wallet system. Because these transfers are automated and instant, the system relies on exact matches for security. If a transfer is rejected, ACE will typically initiate a refund, but the money may take several business days to be returned to your original payment source.

What other Indonesian mobile wallets does ACE support besides OVO, DANA, and GoPay?

In addition to the prominently featured OVO, DANA, and GoPay wallets, ACE Money Transfer expands accessibility by supporting other major Indonesian e-wallet platforms. Customers can also select LinkAja and ShopeePay as payout options. This extensive network ensures that recipients have flexibility and can use the digital wallet they prefer for instant access to the transferred funds.

How long does the initial ACE account verification process take for a new user in Portugal?

The initial Know Your Customer (KYC) verification for new users, which requires submitting a valid ID or passport, is a crucial security step. While the subsequent fund transfers are nearly instant, this initial account verification process can take several working days to be fully processed and approved by the ACE compliance team. You must complete this before you can make larger or frequent transfers.
