Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send 50.000 kr, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what 50.000 kr 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 CRC per DKK 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 CRC on every transfer from Denmark.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 3,451,466.81 CRC.

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 Costa Rica.

We've tracked 62 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 3 amounts over the past month.

  1. WiseAppeared in 61 comparisons

    Cheapest in 13% of them

  2. RevolutAppeared in 53 comparisons

    Cheapest in 15% of them

  3. XeAppeared in 42 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 62 comparisons across 3 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 Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most CRC, but it was the cheapest in only 13% of the 61 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

Revolut (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 15% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Costa Rica.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with Wise, since it's the cheapest right now.

Family gifts have an annual allowance

Denmark does not tax the act of sending money abroad, but a gift can create Danish gift tax.

In 2026, most close relatives can receive up to DKK 80,600 from one donor without gift tax.

The general tax above the allowance is 15%.

Spouses are normally exempt, while different rules apply to other relationships.

The allowance also applies when the recipient lives outside Denmark.
