How to send money to Germany

Around 180,000 German people move abroad every year - three quarters of these are graduates moving for professional opportunities around the world. The top destinations for emigrating Germans are Switzerland, the USA, Austria and the UK.

People from Germany who want to send money home to their loved ones want fast, low-cost and hassle-free money transfers which make it simple for their friends and families to receive as much of the money sent as possible, rather than being lost on poor exchange rates and high fees.

How can I send money to Germany?

Although traditional transfer methods like high street banks, post offices and remittance outlets are a good way of sending money for people who find technology challenging, online money transfer platforms offer a fast and affordable way to send money to Germany without the need for travelling to a branch, waiting in a queue, and paying high transfer fees.
