How to send money from Canada to Cambodia

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is Paysend at 2,869,025.79 KHR on CA$1,000.

Paysend was the cheapest on 15 of the 30 days it quoted CA$1,000 transfers to Cambodia.

More than half of Canadians sending money still pay at a store counter. The same company is often cheaper online.

Fund your transfer

You have 5 ways to pay, including debit card, credit card, bank transfer, interac, and cash deposit.

Interac e-Transfer is how most companies take your money, moving it into their Canadian account so they can carry it over the border.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need a photo ID, and often where the money came from.

Your first transfer will be slower than the ones after it because of those checks, so send it a few days before it's needed.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send $1,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what $1,000 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 KHR per CAD 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, Paysend pays 2,869,025.79 KHR on 1,000 CAD, which is 39,530.87 KHR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 2,876,074.72 KHR.

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.

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 Cambodia.

We've tracked 180 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 6 amounts over the past month.

  1. PaysendAppeared in 97 comparisons

    Cheapest in 68% of them

  2. MoneyGramAppeared in 171 comparisons

    Cheapest in 10% of them

  3. RemitlyAppeared in 99 comparisons

    Cheapest in 10% of them

Based on 180 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 analyze companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Paysend is the cheapest and gets you the most KHR, and it was also the cheapest in 68% of the 97 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Cambodia.

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 10% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Cambodia.

Ways to send money from Canada to Cambodia

There are 4 companies sending money to Cambodia, but how you send depends on your needs.

Most common option

In-person transfers

Hand your cash over the counter and your recipient can collect it the same day without needing an app or bank account.

Bring CA$1,000 in cash to the closest MoneyGram location, and your recipient picks up 2,853,804.1 KHR within minutes.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 27% of days in the past month.

Cash transfers cost more

Cash transfer to Cambodia is usually the most expensive option, compare your options above to get the best deal.

For transfers home

Money transfer apps

An app does the same job as the store for less, and you top it up with an Interac e-Transfer, the same way you'd send money to a friend.

Paysend charges CA$0 in fees and adds 1.37% markup, so your CA$1,000 delivers 2,869,025.79 KHR in 6-12 hours.

Over the past month, Paysend was the cheapest app on 50% of the days it appeared for CA$1,000 transfers.

You don't need a SIN to sign up either, a passport works.

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

For bigger or less frequent transfers, compare a couple of online services on the day, and pick the cheapest.

Of the 4 companies we compared, Paysend is the cheapest online service and currently gets you 2,869,025.79 KHR on a CA$1,000 transfer after a CA$0 fee and 1.37% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 15 of the 30 days it quoted.

Funding by bank transfer (EFT) is cheapest but takes 1-2 days to clear, and Interac e-Transfer or debit card is faster but pricier.

For large transfers from Canada

Currency brokers

For property, tuition, moving from Canada, or an inheritance, a broker is the best and usually the cheapest option.

For large transfers (CA$15,000+), brokers like Currencies Direct or RegencyFX charge no fee, but add a margin that gets lower the more you send. Run a live search with your real amount to see it.

If you're sending large amounts, expect more questions about the transfers, so have statements and documents ready to avoid delays.

For businesses paying abroad

Global accounts

Global accounts handle the business side, paying suppliers, contractors and overseas invoices in KHR.

Companies like OFX, Airwallex, or WorldFirst are set up for the batch and recurring payments a personal app can't do.

For spending abroad and getting paid

Multi-currency accounts

If part of your life runs in KHR, be it spending it, saving it, or waiting for a better rate, a multi-currency account can hold it alongside your CAD.

Wise lets you hold CAD and KHR, and convert between them at low cost.

For example, converting $1,000 costs $47.86 in fees at 0.18% markup, which gets you 2,764,509.93 KHR.

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

Ways to fund CAD and receive KHR in Cambodia

With Paysend, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending CA$1,000 gives your recipient 2,869,025.79 KHR.

Deposit CAD using debit card, credit card, bank transfer, interac, and cash deposit.

I suggest using Interac e-Transfer for simplicity

Follow the company's Interac instructions and check the business name before sending.

Do not send to an email address supplied outside the company's app or website.

The recipient can receive KHR through bank deposit, cash pickup, mobile wallet, and mobile money.

For a bank deposit payout, you will need the recipient's bank details in Cambodia.

Consider this when sending CAD to Cambodia

Interac can fund an international transfer, but it does not send money abroad by itself. You should also know what happens when a transfer reaches the FINTRAC reporting threshold.

Compare CAD/KHR transfer options

For a CA$1,000 transfer to Cambodia, these are the cheapest, fastest and easiest options available now.

Best way to send money to Cambodia

Paysend is the cheapest and easiest option, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,869,025.79 KHR, which is 0.53% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Cambodia

Remitly is fastest when you pay by debit card and choose bank deposit for the payout. The transfer delivers 2,847,050 KHR in within an hour.

Interac only works inside Canada

An Interac e-Transfer cannot go directly to a recipient in Cambodia.

When a transfer company accepts Interac, you send CAD to its Canadian account and the company handles the international side over its own network.

C$10,000 reporting threshold

There is no C$10,000 legal cap on electronic transfers from Canada.

A reporting entity must report an international electronic funds transfer of C$10,000 or more to FINTRAC, including linked transfers that meet the 24-hour rule.

The bank or transfer company makes that report, you do not file it yourself.

But you may be asked for proof of where the money came from.

Sending your own cash or making a genuine cash gift does not create a Canadian gift tax simply because the money goes abroad.

Tax can become relevant when you transfer an appreciated asset rather than cash, or when attribution rules apply.

CDIC protection

Money held with a payment company is not covered by CDIC in the same way as an eligible bank deposit.

Payment companies covered by the Retail Payment Activities Act must safeguard end-user funds, but the Bank of Canada does not resolve individual fee or payment disputes.

If you’re unsure about the company, you can check the company in the FINTRAC MSB Registry.

If you live in Quebec, also confirm that it is allowed to provide money services there.

How we analyse the market

Most of the pricing here comes straight from the companies, and anything we gather by hand is labelled in the table.

That covers 4 FINTRAC-registered companies sending CAD to Cambodia, updated in real time during a live search, compared on rates, fees and how your recipient can collect.
