Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send R$40,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what R$40,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more ZAR per BRL than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of ZAR on every transfer from Brazil.
Right now, Regency FX pays 118,478.28 ZAR on 40,000 BRL, which is 320.76 ZAR less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 133,186.22 ZAR.
If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to South Africa.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most ZAR, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 88 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to South Africa.
Revolut (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 1% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to South Africa.
There are 6 ways to send money to South Africa across 5 money transfer companies.
For everyday transfers
For most transfers from Brazil to South Africa, 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 0.75% markup when sending R$40,000, this will get you 117,739.81 ZAR in South Africa.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 22 of the 29 days it quoted.
For property and other large transfers
Brokers are best for large transfers, they will negotiate a better BRL/ZAR rate, handle the paperwork, and guide you over the phone.
Regency FX converts BRL to ZAR with an exchange-rate markup of around 0.27%.
I'd suggest , since the rate gets better the more you send.
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from R$40,000 it quoted.
For receiving cash in Portugal
If your recipient in South Africa needs cash, you can do it with MoneyGram.
Sending R$40,000 will get you R116,336 after the fees with MoneyGram.
Your recipient will collect cash at the nearest MoneyGram branch in South Africa.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.
Holding AUD and other currencies
Revolut lets you hold, convert, and spend BRL and ZAR from one account.
Swapping R$40,000 with Revolut will get you 117,739.81 ZAR after all fees.
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
You can then spend it in South Africa or Brazil and receive ZAR payments.
For freelancers & businesses
Global accounts like Airwallex, Wise Business, and Payoneer help with international ZAR payments, invoicing, receiving payments, and more.
These are great for Brazilian businesses and freelancers, but not personal transfers.
With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending R$40,000 gives your recipient 118,478.28 ZAR.
For paying for your transfer, you have bank transfer, debit card, and pix.
You can fund the transfer with Pix
You can use Pix as a funding method, but it can’t send BRL to South Africa directly.
Scan the company's QR code or copy its Pix key, then approve R$40,000 in your Brazilian banking app.
For withdrawals in South Africa, they can get it as bank deposit and cash pickup.
IOF can apply when you convert and send BRL abroad, so double check the tax shown before you send.

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.
For a R$40,000 payment to South Africa, I suggest starting with these:
Cheapest:
Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in South Africa. Your recipient gets 118,478.28 ZAR, which is 0.62% more than the next best option.
Fastest:
Revolut, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 117,739.81 ZAR in within minutes.
Pix can be used to deposit BRL from your bank to the transfer company's Brazilian account, but it cannot send money directly to South Africa.
The company then switches to local rails or uses an internal network of accounts to move BRL to South Africa.
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.
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.
