Transfer details
Start with the cheapest, which is Xe at 133,610.4 CVE on $2,000.
Funding is quick whoever you pick, so the choice comes down to the rate and how your recipient collects it.
You have 5 ways to pay, including debit card, credit card, bank transfer, poli, and osko.
PayID and Osko move money to the company in seconds at no cost, and PayID shows you the account name before you confirm.
Watch your bank's daily limit on anything large.
First time round you'll need a photo ID, usually a licence or a passport.
A passport and visa are enough if you’re new (you don’t need an Australian credit history).
How much AUD you send to Cape Verde heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

3 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to Cape Verde.
Cheapest for most transfers
Sending money online with a “self-service” provider is usually the cheapest way to send money to Cape Verde.
For example, sending $500 with Xe will get you 133,610.4 CVE after a $0 fee and 1.66% markup.
To speed up the transfer, use PayID or bank transfer, this will ensure your money is withdrawn instantly from your AU bank account.
Plus, PayID shows the registered payee name, which gives you an extra check against the details you entered.
For regular transfers home
An app suits the transfer you make over and over to the same recipient, similar amount, every payday or so.
Xe takes $0 in fees and 1.66% markup on a $0 transfer, and your CVE arrives in 6-12 hours.
Signing up is quick even if you're new to Australia.
A passport and visa are enough for most money transfer apps, and no local credit history is needed.
For large AUD transfers
Money transfer brokers are best for large transfers, like buying property, moving abroad, or paying student fees.
On transfers of $10,000 or more, a broker like Xe drops the fee entirely and works on margin instead.
With Xe you get 1.66% on AUD/CVE, and it gets lower the more you send.
You also get an account manager for the whole thing.
For overseas business payments
Global accounts like Airwallex are great for paying suppliers, contractors or staff in CVE, handling invoices, batch payments, and more.
For receiving and spending
Multi-currency accounts let you hold AUD and CVE in one account, and convert when the rate suits you.
Wise converts $2,000 at -0.4% markup, and the CVE sits in your account until you spend or transfer it.
Most useful if you travel often to Cape Verde, split your life between two countries, or receive money from abroad.
We also created a guide going into more detail about multi currency accounts.
With Xe, paying by bank transfer and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending $2,000 gives your recipient 133,610.4 CVE.
You can fund the transfer with debit card, credit card, bank transfer, poli, and osko.
Recipients in the Cape Verde can collect CVE through bank deposit and cash pickup.
They can collect cash via MoneyGram
For cash collection, the recipient should take a photo ID and the transfer reference to a participating location in the Cape Verde.

Every international transfer is reportable by the company handling it, but that is not a tax or a form you normally file yourself. PayID can fund the transfer, while the overseas leg still needs a transfer provider.
For an $2,000 transfer to Cape Verde, these are the best options right now:
Cheapest
Xe is cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 133,610.4 CVE, which is 0.26% more than the next best option.
Fastest
Xe delivers 133,610.4 CVE in 6-12 hours when you use bank transfer and choose bank deposit as payout.
If you need money urgently, we've put together a guide on instant money transfers.
PayID and Osko move Australian dollars between local accounts.
When a money transfer company accepts PayID, it collects the AUD in Australia and then handles the conversion and payout in Cape Verde.
Confirm the registered business name shown by your bank before approving the PayID payment.
The bank or remittance company reports international transfer instructions to AUSTRAC.
This applies to international transfers generally, rather than only those above A$10,000.
You do not normally submit the international transfer report yourself.
A separate threshold report applies when a transaction involves A$10,000 or more in physical cash.
Large or unusual transfers can still trigger source-of-funds checks. Keep the sale agreement, invoice or bank statement that explains the payment ready.
Australia does not generally tax a genuine cash gift simply because you send it to family in Cape Verde.
Gifting money can still affect income-tested or asset-tested Centrelink payments.
Services Australia can continue assessing gifts above its gifting free areas under the income and assets tests.
If you or your partner receive a relevant payment, check the gifting rules before sending a large amount.
The Financial Claims Scheme protects eligible Australian-dollar deposits with an Australian-incorporated ADI, up to A$250,000 per account holder per ADI.
It does not automatically cover money held by a non-bank transfer company.
In case of issues, if a complaint is not resolved, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority is the free external dispute service for member financial firms.
Small changes in the AUD/CVE rate can make a noticeable difference to the amount received, especially on a larger transfer.
