The mid-market line shows what €7,000 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 AUD 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 AUD on every transfer from France.

Right now, Xe pays 11,050.9 AUD on 7,000 EUR, which is 20.97 AUD less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 11,371.32 AUD.

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.

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 Australia.

We've tracked 94 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

    Never the cheapest

Based on 94 comparisons across 5 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 Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most AUD, but it was the cheapest in only 5% of the 74 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

What to consider before sending EUR to Australia

From France, the important split is whether the money stays in euros or changes currency. Cash funding and non-bank protection work differently too.

Compare the EUR/AUD options

For a €7,000 transfer to Australia, these are the best ways to start with:

Cheapest way to send money to Australia

The cheapest option is Xe, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 11,050.9 AUD, which is 0.06% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Australia

The fastest option is Wise. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 11,020.3 AUD in within minutes.

France caps cash payments

If you are a tax resident in France, you can pay up to €1,000 in cash to a transfer company.

This limits the cash payment, rather than the amount you can send abroad.

For a larger transfer, pay by bank transfer or card.

Expect a justificatif on a large transfer

French banks and transfer companies can ask for a justificatif (proof) showing where the money came from and why it is being sent.

For property, tuition or moving savings abroad, keep the sale document, invoice or recent bank statement ready.

Your bank may also have a lower daily virement limit, which you can ask it to raise before the payment is due.

FGDR deposit guarantee

The FGDR deposit guarantee covers eligible bank deposits up to €100,000 per customer and bank.

Payment and e-money institutions are not members of the FGDR, although they must protect customer funds through safeguarding arrangements (keeping your funds separate to theirs).

If in doubt, check REGAFI to see whether a bank, payment institution or e-money institution is authorised to operate in France.

How we analyse the market

Most of our pricing comes straight from the companies, and the rest we collect by hand and label in the table.

That covers 12 ACPR-registered companies sending EUR to Australia, with the rates refreshed in real time on live EUR/AUD searches.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 94 comparisons across 5 amounts.

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

We compare fees, rates and the ways money can be paid in and received, and each company also goes through our review.
