Customer Guidance

Once the receiver gets notified by the sender that the money transfer has been sent to them, they can contact Annapurna Travel & Tours or Hulas Remittance, to identify the nearest branch.

The request will then be sent to the Agent home delivery team. An Agent representative will then contact the customer and request a copy of their ID by WhatsApp and verify all related information to process the home delivery.

Once the details are obtained and verified, the Agent representative will arrive at the receiver’s residence with the money.

Prior to handing over the money, the Agent representative will verify receivers’ original ID. After successful verification, the Agent representative will obtain a signature on the transaction receipt and hand over the money.
