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 AWG 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 AWG on every transfer from Spain.

Right now, MoneyGram pays 3,271.82 AWG on 1,700 EUR, which is 135.57 AWG less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 3,368.21 AWG.

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.

What to consider when sending money from Spain

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

Find the best EUR/AWG transfer

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

Cheapest option

Use MoneyGram, pay by debit card and choose cash pickup for the payout. Your recipient gets 3,271.82 AWG, which is 0% more than the next best option.

Fastest option

With MoneyGram, a debit card payment to cash pickup gives your recipient 3,271.82 AWG, and its delivery time is minutes - 24 hours.

SEPA & AWG are different

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

Sending EUR to Aruba 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 Aruba.

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.

How we analyse the market

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