Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €5,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what €5,000 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 LKR per EUR than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 3 of the last 30 days.

Right now, MoneyGram pays 1,850,625.5 LKR on 5,000 EUR, which is 1,362.2 LKR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,872,637.96 LKR.

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 Sri Lanka.

We've tracked 180 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 6 amounts over the past month.

  1. MoneyGramAppeared in 178 comparisons

    Cheapest in 42% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 176 comparisons

    Cheapest in 2% of them

  3. OFXAppeared in 177 comparisons

    Cheapest in 8% of them

Based on 180 comparisons across 6 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 MoneyGram is the cheapest and gets you the most LKR, but it was the cheapest in only 42% of the 178 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 2% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Sri Lanka.

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

Ways to send money from Spain to Sri Lanka

7 companies send money from Spain to Sri Lanka, across app, online, in person, broker, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

Monthly remesas abroad

Money transfer apps

Sending monthly remesa is extremely popular in Spain.

Money transfer apps let you save contacts, schedule transfers, and lock-in rates.

Useful if you’re sending €100 to €300 monthly to Sri Lanka.

MoneyGram charges €1.99 on a €5,000 transfer and pays out 1,850,625.5 LKR in minutes - 24 hours.

Over the past month, MoneyGram was the cheapest app on 63% of the days it appeared for €5,000 transfers.

You can pay for the transfers via bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL, but Bizum is usually not accepted as a funding method.

For cash pickup and deposit

In-person transfers

The locutorio on the corner has been sending money home for decades, and for families who need to collect cash the same day, this is the best way.

Pay MoneyGram the €5,000 by card or transferencia, and they can collect cash in Sri Lanka.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 77% of days in the past month.

Cash transfers are faster than online methods, but usually more expensive, so .

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

For medium sized or one-off transfers to Sri Lanka, an online money transfer service funded from your bank account is better than any bank.

MoneyGram turns €5,000 into 1,850,625.5 LKR with a €1.99 fee and 0.07% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 19 of the 30 days it quoted.

Sending large amounts

Currency brokers

Currency brokers are best for sending €10,000+ to Sri Lanka. This can be things like selling property, moving a pension, moving back home, etc…

OFX charges no fee and works on a margin, with a person on the phone, and offices in Spain if you'd rather sit down with someone.

Our analysis shows OFX was the cheapest broker in 31% of the transfers from €5,000 it quoted.

For getting paid and spending abroad

Multi-currency accounts

If you often receive LKR (things like pensions, payments, salary, dividends, etc…), this is the best way to do it.

Because a multi-currency account gives you account details to receive LKR like a local and you can exchange it to EUR at any time.

The best multi-currency account in Spain with LKR support is offered by Wise.

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

For example, converting €5,000 gets you 1,836,586.27 LKR.

For businesses and autónomos paying abroad

Global accounts

Companies like Wise Business, Payoneer, or Airwallex are best suited for businesses in Spain making payments to Sri Lanka.

You can pay suppliers and freelancers, process invoices, make batch payments, and much more.

Ways to fund EUR and receive LKR in Sri Lanka

How you fund the transfer and how your recipient receives it affect the fees and how much LKR they get.

With MoneyGram, paying by debit card and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending €5,000 gives your recipient 1,850,625.5 LKR.

For funding your transfer from Spain, you can use bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL.

Bizum only supports domestic transfers in Spain, so it cannot send money to Sri Lanka directly.

Pay from your Spanish bank account

Deposit your funds with a SEPA Instant (essentially your bank transfer) using your ES IBAN.

It is fast to fund the transfer, although delivery to Sri Lanka depends on the company's payout time and delivery method.

In Sri Lanka, the recipient can use bank deposit, mobile money, card deposit, and cash pickup to receive money.

Collect cash in Sri Lanka

Your recipient can collect LKR from a participating MoneyGram location in Sri Lanka.

What to consider when sending money from Spain

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

Find the best EUR/LKR transfer

These are the current best options for sending €5,000 to Sri Lanka:

Cheapest option

Use MoneyGram, pay by debit card and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1,850,625.5 LKR, which is 0.3% more than the next best option.

Fastest option

With Revolut, a bank transfer payment to bank deposit gives your recipient 1,825,412.54 LKR, and its delivery time is within minutes.

SEPA & LKR are different

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

Sending EUR to Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka.

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

Every company here is authorised to operate in Spain, and you can check any of them on the Banco de España register yourself. We track 7 of them on EUR to LKR, comparing fees, rates and the ways money can be paid in and collected. In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 180 comparisons across 6 amounts.

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