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 LKR per BRL than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 1 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Regency FX pays 2,482,786.89 LKR on 40,000 BRL, which is 6,721.67 LKR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 2,665,912.91 LKR.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Sri Lanka.

We've tracked 138 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 6 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 62 comparisons

    Cheapest in 92% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 137 comparisons

    Cheapest in 29% of them

  3. RevolutAppeared in 128 comparisons

    Cheapest in 32% of them

Based on 138 comparisons across 6 amounts over the last 30 days.

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, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 29% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Sri Lanka.

Ways to send money from Brazil to Sri Lanka

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

For everyday transfers

Online transfers

For most transfers from Brazil to Sri Lanka, money transfer companies like TapTap Send are the cheapest way.

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

TapTap Send charges R$0 and adds 1.01% markup when sending R$40,000, this will get you 2,464,400 LKR in Sri Lanka.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 7 of the 30 days it quoted.

For property and other large transfers

Currency brokers

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

Regency FX converts BRL to LKR 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

Cash pickup

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

Sending R$40,000 will get you SLRs2,426,140 after the fees with MoneyGram.

Your recipient will collect cash at the nearest MoneyGram branch in Sri Lanka.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.

Holding AUD and other currencies

Multi-currency accounts

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

Swapping R$40,000 with Revolut will get you 2,462,269.54 LKR 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 Sri Lanka or Brazil and receive LKR payments.

For freelancers & businesses

Global accounts

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

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

Ways to fund BRL and receive LKR in Sri Lanka

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending R$40,000 gives your recipient 2,482,786.89 LKR.

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 Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka, they can get it as bank deposit, mobile money, and cash pickup.

IOF can apply when you convert and send BRL abroad, so double check the tax shown before you send.

Consider this when sending BRL to Sri Lanka

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/LKR transfer options

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

Cheapest:

Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Sri Lanka. Your recipient gets 2,482,786.89 LKR, which is 0.74% more than the next best option.

Fastest:

Revolut, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 2,462,269.54 LKR in within 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 Sri Lanka.

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

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.
