How to send money from Germany to South Korea

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Germany, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is CurrencyFair.

On a 7,000 EUR transfer, CurrencyFair delivers the most KRW.

This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best EUR/KRW rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need a photo ID and proof of your German address.

Video identification is also normal and takes a few minutes.

Ways to send money from Germany to South Korea

There are 7 companies for sending money from Germany to South Korea, across broker, app, online, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more below.

Fastest and easiest way

Online and app transfers

Within the eurozone, SEPA covers all transfers, but outside, it gets very expensive and money transfer companies make it cheaper.

Sending €7,000 with Xe to South Korea gets you 10,754,874.9 KRW with a €0 fee and 0.4% markup.

Debit cards (and Apple Pay / Google Pay) usually have instant deposits, but your girocard usually won't work as a funding method.

For paying in cash at a counter

In-person transfers

There's no legal limit on how much you can send, so the counter in the kiosk, the callshop or the grocery store is still a popular way to send money internationally.

Deposit €7,000 to MoneyGram online, and choose cash pickup as delivery option. Once you pay, it should be available in minutes.

In general, online transfers are cheaper than sending cash to South Korea.

For large transfers from Germany

Currency brokers

For buying property, moving to South Korea, or moving pensions, a currency broker is the best option.

A broker like CurrencyFair charges no fee and works on a margin. It adds 0.14% on EUR/KRW which gets negotiated the more you send.

And you get an account manager to help you through the process.

For some international payments above €50,000, German residents may need to file an AWV report with the Bundesbank, make sure to check in advance.

For making business payments

Global accounts

Global accounts are for businesses making payments to South Korea.

Be it overseas suppliers and contractors, receiving KRW payments, or holding KRW and EUR in one business account.

Companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Wise Business offer the best tools for international business transfers.

For spending & receiving

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account lets you hold EUR and KRW in one account.

You get KRW bank details, and can receive international payments like rent, dividends, family payments without additional conversions.

You can convert KRW to EUR or EUR to KRW whenever you need.

The best multi currency account is Wise, it adds ~-0.06% markup and charges small fees.

Ways to fund EUR and receive KRW in South Korea

With CurrencyFair, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest way. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 10,778,318.74 KRW.

You can pay for the transfer using bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.

Using German bank

A SEPA bank transfer is usually the cheapest way to deposit EUR.

An instant SEPA payment can reduce funding time, but it does not guarantee instant delivery to South Korea.

The recipient in South Korea can receive KRW by bank deposit.

To receive KRW by bank deposit

Enter the recipient's banking details and account holders name.

Check both before sending because correcting a bank deposit will delay the transfer.

Things to know before sending money from Germany to KRW

The main question in Germany is whether you are sending euros inside SEPA or converting them. Large cross-border payments can also create a Bundesbank reporting duty.

Compare EUR/KRW transfer options

For a €7,000 transfer to South Korea, these are the best options:

Cheapest way to send money to South Korea

The cheapest option is CurrencyFair, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,778,318.74 KRW, which is 0.09% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to South Korea

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,557,361 KRW in innerhalb von minuten.

Transfers over €50,000 may get reported

Germany's AWV reporting threshold is €50,000.

A German resident may need to report a payment above that amount to the Bundesbank when it is made to a non-resident.

It is a statistics report, not a tax or permission request.

Transfers between your own domestic and foreign accounts are exempt, and other exemptions apply depending on the payment purpose.

The automated AWV notice shown by a bank does not mean every transfer is reportable.

The Bundesbank guidance for private individuals explains who reports, what is exempt and how to file.

SEPA and SWIFT are different

If the recipient has a euro account in the SEPA area, a normal SEPA payment can be the simplest option.

A payment converted into KRW sits outside that pricing rule and may involve another bank or payout partner.

Check whether the quote uses SHA, OUR or BEN charges on a bank transfer.

This decides whether intermediary costs are shared, paid by you or deducted from what the recipient receives.
