How to send money from Switzerland to Somalia

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is PayPal App (P2P Transfer) at 124,445.57 SOS for a CHF 200 transfer.

PayPal App (P2P Transfer) was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted fr.200 transfers to Somalia.

Sending the same money as an international transfer from your Swiss bank costs 1 to 3% in the rate before any fee.

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to pay, including bank transfer.

TWINT won't do this, it's for paying people and shops inside Switzerland.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need a photo ID and your Swiss address.

The company may pause a first large transfer, it just means you need to submit more details to confirm it's really you.

CHF/SOS Exchange Rate History

Is today a good time to send money from Switzerland to Somalia?

The cheapest way to send CHF to SOS can change every day, or stay with the same company all month.

We've compared the mid-market rate with the cheapest option each day (today it's PayPal App (P2P Transfer)), across 30 days of comparisons for 200 CHF transfers to Somalia.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send CHF 200, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what CHF 200 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 SOS 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 SOS on every transfer from Switzerland.

Right now, PayPal App (P2P Transfer) pays 124,445.57 SOS on 200 CHF, which is 13,459.54 SOS less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 125,560.04 SOS.

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 Somalia.

We've tracked 136 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

PayPal App (P2P Transfer)Appeared in 30 comparisons

Based on 136 comparisons across 5 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 PayPal App (P2P Transfer) is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Ways to send money from Switzerland to Somalia

3 companies send money from Switzerland to Somalia, across in person, and more.

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.

I suggest getting a few quotes before settling. Check with your private bank, TorFX, RegencyFX, Currencies Direct, and Key Currency.

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

For companies paying across borders

Global accounts

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

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

Wise Business, WorldFirst and Airwallex offer multi-currency accounts with business payment tools.

Ways to fund CHF and receive SOS in Somalia

With PayPal App (P2P Transfer), paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending CHF 200 gives your recipient 124,445.57 SOS.

The transfer can be paid for by bank transfer.

You can pay from your Swiss bank account

Send CHF to the account details provided by the company.

Use the exact reference so it can match the payment to your transfer.

TWINT is mainly for payments in Switzerland, so it does not replace an international transfer to Somalia.

In Somalia, they can get SOS delivered as bank deposit.

Things to know before sending CHF to Somalia

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/SOS transfer options

For a CHF 200 transfer to Somalia, these are the best options in our comparison.

Cheapest way to send money to Somalia

The cheapest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer), funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 124,445.57 SOS, which is 0% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Somalia

The fastest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer). Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 124,445.57 SOS in minutes.

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

Swiss banks can make SEPA payments in euros, but a CHF transfer to SOS 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.

How we analyse the market

Most pricing comes straight from the companies, and anything we collect by hand is marked in the table.

That covers 3 of them sending CHF to Somalia, refreshed in real time on live searches and compared on rates, fees and the ways to pay and collect.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 136 comparisons across 5 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for CHF/SOS transfers. This is how we pick them:

Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.
Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.

Each goes through our review. More on who we are, why you can trust us and how to get started.
