How to send money from Finland to Uganda

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Uganda, start with Xe.

On a 7,000 EUR transfer, Xe delivers the most UGX.

The cheapest option depends on the amount, so I suggest to get the best EUR/UGX rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.

Select how you want the recipient to pick up the money. For transfers to Uganda they can receive it via bank deposit and mobile money.

Verify and send

If it's your first time using the service, you will need to verify your account.

This usually takes a a few minutes to a few hours.

If your transfer is urgent, make sure to get it done beforehand to avoid any delays.

Ways to send money from Finland to Uganda

6 companies send money from Finland to Uganda, mostly through app, broker, online, multi-currency account, and global account, and a few more ways.

Usually the cheapest

Online transfers

Companies like Xe will get you 31,289,930 UGX on €7,000 transfer.

If it's the only time you send money to Uganda, then it's the best option.

For recurring transfers, an app is a bit more convenient.

For regular transfers

Money transfer apps

For the regular smaller transfer, apps are convenient and cheap.

Xe charges €0 on a €7,000 transfer, and 31,289,930 UGX arrives in minutes - 24 hours.

In Uganda they can receive money via bank deposit and mobile money.

Moving money between your own accounts

Multi-currency accounts

Companies like Wise let you hold EUR and UGX balances in one account.

You can convert between them any time, and it's cheap.

For example, converting 7,000 EUR to UGX with Wise gets you 29,180,874 UGX (€453.93 in fees and 0.11% markup).

This is especially useful travel since you are spending in UGX (no extra fees from Wise, only local ATMs).

For freelancers and SMEs

Global accounts

Global accounts are for companies and freelancers making payments to Uganda.

Companies like Wise Business, Airwallex, Holvi or Payoneer offer business features like batch payments, invoicing, admin tools, and more.

For sending large sums

Currency brokers

Currency brokers are good for sending €10,000+ to Uganda. They charge no fees and add a markup on the rate.

Xe charges no fee but adds -0.16% markup on top of the EUR/UGX rate.

Ways to fund EUR and receive UGX in Uganda

With Xe, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 31,289,930 UGX.

To pay for your transfer in Finland, you have debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.

MobilePay and Siirto are useful for payments within Finland, but they do not send money to Uganda directly.

For withdrawals in Uganda, use bank deposit and mobile money.

Receive UGX

The name should match the account holder's bank record, so double check it before sending.

What to consider before sending money from Finland to Uganda

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

Compare EUR/UGX transfer options

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

Cheapest

Xe is cheapest when funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 31,289,930 UGX, which is 0.41% more than the next best option.

Fastest

TapTap Send delivers 30,870,000 UGX in minutes when you pay by debit card and choose mobile money.

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 Uganda.

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.
