Transfer details
Start with the cheapest, which is OFX at 1,893,488.11 TZS on $1,000.
More than half of Canadians sending money still pay at a store counter. The same company is often cheaper online.
You have 6 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, interac, cash deposit, and mobile wallet.
Interac e-Transfer is how most companies take your money, moving it into their Canadian account so they can carry it over the border.
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.
There are 9 companies sending money to India, but how you send depends on your needs.
Most common option
Hand your cash over the counter and your recipient can collect it the same day without needing an app or bank account.
Bring $1,000 in cash to the closest Remitly location, and your recipient picks up 1,882,430 TZS within minutes.
Cash transfers cost more
Cash transfer to Tanzania is usually the most expensive option, compare your options above to get the best deal.
For transfers home
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 $0 in fees and adds 0.82% markup, so your $1,000 delivers 1,890,333.65 TZS in 6-12 hours.
You don't need a SIN to sign up either, a passport works.
For one-off transfers
For bigger or less frequent transfers, compare a couple of online services on the day, and pick the cheapest.
Of 9 online companies, Paysend is the cheapest and currently gets you 1,890,333.65 TZS on a $1,000 transfer after a $0 fee and 0.82% markup.
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
For property, tuition, moving from Canada, or an inheritance, a broker is the best and usually the cheapest option.
Brokers like OFX charge no fees but add 0.65% on CAD/TZS interbank rate.
The markup gets lower the more you send, with an account manager handling it end to end.
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 handle the business side, paying suppliers, contractors and overseas invoices in TZS.
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
If part of your life runs in TZS, 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 TZS, and convert between them at low cost.
For example, converting $1,000 costs $26.41 in fees at 0.15% markup, which gets you 1,852,683.35 TZS.
With OFX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending $1,000 gives your recipient 1,893,488.11 TZS.
Deposit CAD using debit card, bank transfer, credit card, interac, cash deposit, and mobile wallet.
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 TZS through bank deposit, mobile money, cash pickup, and mobile wallet.
For a bank deposit payout, you will need the recipient's bank details in Tanzania.

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.
For a $1,000 transfer to Tanzania, these are the cheapest, fastest and easiest options available now.
Best way to send money to Tanzania
OFX is the cheapest and easiest option, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1,893,488.11 TZS, which is 0.17% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Tanzania
TapTap Send is fastest when you pay by debit card and choose bank deposit for the payout. The transfer delivers 1,882,000 TZS in minutes.
An Interac e-Transfer cannot go directly to a recipient in Tanzania.
When a transfer company accepts Interac, you send CAD to its Canadian account and the company handles the international side over its own network.
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.
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.
The rate has a direct impact on the TZS amount received. The last seven days show how today's CAD quote compares with the recent market.
Mid-market rate:1 CAD = 1,917.077431 TZS
Most of the pricing here comes straight from the companies, and anything we gather by hand is labelled in the table.
That covers 9 FINTRAC-registered companies sending CAD to Tanzania, updated in real time during a live search, compared on rates, fees and how your recipient can collect.
Each goes through our review. More on who we are, why you can trust us and getting started.
