What's the best way to transfer money from abroad?

Whether it is to send money to a loved one, or to pay your rent ... Transferring money abroad has never been so easy these days! We explain to you how it works ✨

Exchange rates

The exchange rate of a currency is the cost of that currency against another.

For example, €1 = $1.06.

So if you want to send precisely €100 to the US, then your recipient will receive $105.72

Transfer fees

Whether it is a bank or any other financial institution, you will have to pay transfer fees, which can be more or less expensive.  They are usually composed of a fixed fee that will depend on the type of transfer (classic or fast) and a variable fee that will depend on the amount sent.

Our advice

  • If you are flexible, prioritize the classic transfer
