Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €1,700, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what €1,700 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 USD per EUR 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 USD on every transfer from Spain.

Right now, Wise pays 1,879.69 USD on 1,700 EUR, which is 10.48 USD less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,926.61 USD.

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 American Samoa.

We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. WiseAppeared in 195 comparisons

    Cheapest in 35% of them

  2. XeAppeared in 164 comparisons

    Cheapest in 4% of them

  3. RevolutAppeared in 185 comparisons

    Cheapest in 11% of them

Based on 196 comparisons across 7 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 USD, but it was the cheapest in only 35% of the 195 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

Xe (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 4% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to American Samoa.

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

What to consider when sending money from Spain

Here are a few things to know before sending money from Spain to American Samoa.

Find the best EUR/USD transfer

These are the current best options for sending €1,700 to American Samoa:

Cheapest option

Use Wise, pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1,879.69 USD, which is 0.05% more than the next best option.

Fastest option

With Revolut, a bank transfer payment to bank deposit gives your recipient 1,875.99 USD, and its delivery time is within minutes.

SEPA & USD are different

SEPA and SEPA Instant only work within the Eurozone, and Bizum largely operates in Spain.

Sending EUR to American Samoa is different because it needs a currency conversion.

SEPA or SEPA Instant can be used to fund the transfer itself (since both are in EUR), but it does not guarantee instant transfer to American Samoa.

Expect questions on a large payment

Your bank or transfer company can ask for a justificante showing the source and purpose of a large or unusual transfer.

Keep the sale agreement for property, an invoice for tuition or a bank statement for savings.

Ask your bank to raise its own online transfer limit before the payment is due, rather than splitting a payment to avoid a check.

Staying safe when sending money

A payment or electronic-money institution is not the same as a bank, so do not assume its stored balance has bank deposit protection.

For bank deposits, protection normally comes from the deposit guarantee scheme in the bank's home country.

For a transfer service, check how customer money is safeguarded and avoid leaving a large balance there longer than needed.

When in doubt, use the Banco de Espana register to check the legal entity behind a transfer service.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for EUR/USD 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.

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