Local guide
Money transfer services let people in Dili, Timor-Leste send money abroad or receive it in USD (United States dollar (the official currency; Timor-Leste issues no banknotes of its own and uses circulating US coins alongside locally issued centavo coins)). The real cost is the fee plus the gap between the provider's exchange rate and the mid-market rate, so compare both.
Before you sign up in Dili
The BPA operates the country's payment and settlement arrangements, but formal banking coverage is concentrated in Dili, led by the national bank BNCTL alongside branches of Indonesian and Portuguese-linked banks. Day-to-day payments outside the capital are largely cash-based, mobile network coverage constrains app-based banking outside urban areas, and cross-border transfers move over SWIFT in US dollars through correspondents; there is no national instant-payment scheme to assume.
