Exchange rates, fees and delivery times change and depend on how you pay and how your recipient collects the money; the provider’s final quote is what counts.

Sending money to Lebanon: what to know
Lebanon’s economy is heavily dollarised, and many transfers to Lebanon are paid out in US dollars rather than Lebanese pounds. Before you send, check which currency your recipient will actually receive and how they’ll collect it — cash pickup or a bank account.
Because the Lebanese pound has had several exchange rates in recent years, compare what the recipient receives in the payout currency, not the headline rate.
Getting a good deal
Compare what arrives, not the rate. A provider can advertise a great rate and charge a big fee, or advertise “no fee” and use a poor rate. The only fair comparison is how much your recipient actually receives.
Check the mid-market rate. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between buying and selling prices on the currency markets. It’s the benchmark: the closer a provider’s rate is to it, the less you pay in hidden margin.
Payment method changes the price. Paying by bank transfer is often cheaper than paying by card. Some providers also charge more for fast delivery or cash pickup.
Use licensed providers only. Send money only through banks and transfer companies licensed in your country. Never send money to someone you’ve only met online, or because someone is pressuring you to act quickly — these are common scams.

What’s the cheapest way to send money from Australia to Lebanon?
The one that leaves your recipient with the most money after the exchange rate and every fee. It can change from day to day and with the amount, so compare each time you send.
How long does it take?
It depends on the provider, how you pay and how the money is collected — from minutes to a few business days. The provider shows its estimate before you confirm.
