Days are business days — a Saturday delays a same-day or next-day payout. These are ceilings, not typical times: within the window, how fast the money lands depends on the receiving bank.

Rate

Cost
How much does it cost to send money to Sri Lanka?

Sending USD
Can I send US dollars to a bank account in Sri Lanka?

Safety
Is my money safe while the transfer is processing?
Yes. Your funds sit in your own account and only move when you confirm a transfer with your passkey. Maash can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. A review delays a transfer — it never takes your money.
Banks
Which banks in Sri Lanka can I send money to?
Maash pays out to 34 banks in Sri Lanka. Your recipient needs an account in their own name; enter their bank details when you add them. The list is the one Maash’s payout provider states and can change.
Account
Can I open a Maash account in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Sri Lanka is one of the countries Maash can open an account from, so you can both hold US dollars and send to Sri Lanka. Identity verification applies, and some countries need additional checks; Maash lists every country it can open an account from on its supported-countries page.
