What to consider before sending money from Finland to Costa Rica

For a transfer from Finland, compare the CRC received and check whether the payment is a taxable gift rather than ordinary family support.

Compare EUR/CRC transfer options

For a €7,000 transfer to Costa Rica, these are the current cheapest, fastest and easiest options.

Cheapest

Regency FX is cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 3,616,711.85 CRC, which is 1.93% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Revolut delivers 3,492,244.52 CRC in within minutes when you pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit.

Sending a gift from Finland can trigger gift tax

If you live in Finland and send someone abroad a cash gift, Finnish gift tax can still apply.

The recipient must file and pay the tax when gifts from you reach €7,500 or more within three years.

Education and maintenance costs may be exempt if you pay the university, landlord or other company directly.

Cash sent to the recipient is treated as a normal gift because they can spend it on anything.

Large transfers may take longer

Finnish banks and transfer companies can ask for the source and purpose of an unusual payment.

Keep the invoice, sale document or account statement ready.

SEPA Instant may fund the company's euro account quickly, but the company still needs to complete the payout in Costa Rica.

Safety measures in Finland

An EEA company may be authorised in another country and operate in Finland through passporting.

If a company does not resolve a complaint, FINE provides guidance and dispute support for financial customers in Finland.

Never move money to a so-called safe account or approve an unexpected bank-identification request.

When in doubt, check the company in the FIN-FSA supervised-entities register.
