Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send CHF 6'000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what CHF 6'000 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 EGP per CHF 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 EGP on every transfer from Switzerland.

Right now, Regency FX pays 404,875.24 EGP on 6,000 CHF, which is 1,096.12 EGP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 405,831.95 EGP.

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 Egypt.

We've tracked 106 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 4 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 68 comparisons

    Cheapest in 97% of them

  2. OFXAppeared in 98 comparisons

    Cheapest in 29% of them

  3. XeAppeared in 67 comparisons

    Cheapest in 3% of them

Based on 106 comparisons across 4 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 and gets you the most EGP, and it was also the cheapest in 97% of the 68 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

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

Ways to send money from Switzerland to Egypt

5 companies send money from Switzerland to Egypt, across broker, app, online, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

Online services like Xe are usually cheaper than Swiss banks for one-off and medium-sized transfers.

With Xe, 6,000 CHF gets your recipient 403,122.6 EGP.

The fee is 0 CHF, with a 0.7% markup on top of the CHF/EGP rate.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 4 of the 25 days it quoted.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account is useful if you earn in Swiss francs but spend money in EGP (be it payments or travelling).

Wise converts CHF 6,000 with a 0% exchange-rate markup and lets you hold CHF and EGP in one account.

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

For regular transfers

Money transfer apps

For the monthly transfer to family, money transfer apps are the easiest to start with.

Xe charges fr.0 on a fr.6,000 transfer, and the money lands minutes - 24 hours.

Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 16% of the days it appeared for fr.6,000 transfers.

You can also save recipients and create automated scheduled transfers to Egypt.

You can’t make deposits with TWINT, but instead you can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

For large CHF transfers

Currency brokers

Private banks can usually do this too, but brokers streamline the process and you also get an account manager to handle the transfer.

For example, if you are buying property in Egypt or moving your wealth, a broker like Regency FX charges no fee and works on a margin instead (0.27% on CHF/EGP).

I suggest , since the more EGP you send the better rate you get.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from CHF 6,000 it quoted.

Brokers charge no fees, so settle with the one that gives you the best CHF/EGP rate.

Global accounts

Converting every payment separately adds extra work for Swiss businesses with regular costs in Egypt.

A global account lets you hold EGP alongside CHF and pay from the balance.

Things to know before sending CHF to Egypt

The exchange-rate margin usually matters more than the transfer fee from Switzerland. Gift tax and account protection also depend on details that are easy to miss.

Compare CHF/EGP transfer options

Cheapest way to send money to Egypt

Fastest way to send money to Egypt

The fastest option is Wise. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 402,364.18 EGP in same day.

Switzerland is in SEPA, but CHF is not a SEPA currency

Swiss banks can make SEPA payments in euros, but a CHF transfer to EGP requires a conversion.

Same goes for TWINT and Swiss instant payments.

Money transfer companies can take these as funding methods (since accounts are in Switzerland) but then they switch to an internal network of accounts.

Gift tax depends on your canton

Switzerland has no federal gift tax applied on transfers abroad.

Most cantons impose their own rules, with the amount due usually depending on the value of the gift and your relationship to the recipient.

The federal Swiss authorities explain the cantonal rules here.

Money transfer protection

Do not assume every app used in Switzerland is FINMA-authorised or covered by Swiss deposit insurance.

Some services operate under a foreign licence, and a Swiss virtual IBAN does not by itself create Swiss deposit protection.

Eligible deposits at participating Swiss banks are protected up to CHF 100,000 per customer and bank, but esisuisse confirms that a virtual IBAN or correspondent account may fall outside that protection.

If you’re in doubt about a money transfer company or app, check the legal company behind the service in the FINMA register.
