How to send money from Brazil to Guatemala

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is Regency FX at 58,740.65 GTQ for R$40,000 transfer.

The IOF is the same whichever company you pick, so its about the exchange rate markup and the fees.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and pix.

Verify and send

You'll need your CPF and a photo ID to register and verify your account.

Once that's done, you can send money to Guatemala

Ways to send money from Brazil to Guatemala

There are 6 ways to send money to Guatemala across 5 money transfer companies.

For everyday transfers

Online transfers

For most transfers from Brazil to Guatemala, money transfer companies like Revolut are the cheapest way.

You can fund an online transfer with bank transfer, debit card, and pix.

Revolut charges R$60 and adds 0.59% markup when sending R$40,000, this will get you 57,292 GTQ in Guatemala.

For property and other large transfers

Currency brokers

Brokers are best for large transfers, they will negotiate a better BRL/GTQ rate, handle the paperwork, and guide you over the phone.

Regency FX converts BRL to GTQ with an exchange-rate markup of around 0.27%.

I'd suggest , since the rate gets better the more you send.

For receiving cash in Portugal

Cash pickup

If your recipient in Guatemala needs cash, you can do it with MoneyGram.

Sending R$40,000 will get you Q57,292 after the fees with MoneyGram.

You recipient will collect cash at the nearest MoneyGram branch in Guatemala.

Holding AUD and other currencies

Multi-currency accounts

Revolut lets you hold, convert, and spend BRL and GTQ from one account.

Swapping R$40,000 with Revolut will get you 58,462.74 GTQ after all fees.

You can then spend it in Guatemala or Brazil and receive GTQ payments.

For freelancers & businesses

Global accounts

Global accounts like Airwallex, Wise Business, and Payoneer help with international GTQ payments, invoicing, receiving payments, and more.

These are great for Brazilian businesses and freelancers, but not personal transfers.

Ways to fund BRL and receive GTQ in Guatemala

Consider this when sending BRL to Portugal

Brazilian transfer quotes should show the tax, fee and exchange rate. The easiest way to compare them is through the VET, then check whether the payment is a transfer of your own money or a gift.

Compare BRL/EUR transfer options

For a R$40,000 payment to Guatemala, I suggest starting with these:

Cheapest:

Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Guatemala. Your recipient gets 58,740.65 GTQ, which is 0.47% more than the next best option.

Fastest:

TapTap Send, paid by debit card with cash pickup for the payout. It delivers 58,400 GTQ in minutes.

Pix can fund but not send

Pix can be used to deposit BRL from your bank to the transfer company's Brazilian account, but it cannot send money directly to Guatemala.

The company then switches to local rails or uses an internal network of accounts to move BRL to Guatemala.

A gift can have a separate state tax

Moving your own money and making a gift are not treated the same.

A gift may fall under ITCMD, which is set and collected by the relevant Brazilian state.

The rate, exemption and filing process depend on the state and the facts of the gift.

Check this before sending a large amount to family, particularly when the sender, recipient or estate has links to different states.

Use a company authorised for câmbio

The Banco Central do Brasil says an authorised institution or its correspondent should explain the required documents and provide the VET.

If in doubt, check the institution's legal name with the Banco Central before sending.

Reclame Aqui can show service problems, but it does not replace the regulatory check.
