Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send €7,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. 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 EGP 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 5 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Regency FX pays 436,835.3 EGP on 7,000 EUR, which is 1,182.64 EGP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 438,550 EGP.

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 Egypt.

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

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 29 comparisons

    Cheapest in 41% of them

  2. WorldRemitAppeared in 56 comparisons

    Cheapest in 5% of them

  3. OFXAppeared in 90 comparisons

    Cheapest in 7% of them

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 Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

WorldRemit (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 5% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Egypt.

Ways to send money from France to Egypt

8 companies send money from France to Egypt. You can do it via app, broker, online, multi-currency account, global account, and in person.

For regular transfers from France

Money transfer apps

Over the past month, WorldRemit was the cheapest app on 6% of the days it appeared for €7,000 transfers.

WorldRemit charges €0 on a €7,000 transfer, and the EGP arrives in minutes - 2 days, often straight into a mobile money wallet, so your family doesn't need a bank account to receive it.

For one-off transfers

When converting EUR to EGP, an online service like Xe is always cheaper than the bank's international virement.

Sending €7,000 with Xe gets you 435,110.9 EGP with a €0 fee and 0.67% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 16 of the 29 days it quoted.

And the more you transfer, the better rate you will get.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 97% of the transfers from €5,000 it quoted.

Also, many French banks cap transfers around €15,000/transfer, make sure to increase the limits in advance if you need to.

Companies like Airwallex, Wise Business, or Payoneer are the best for this.

What to consider before sending EUR to Egypt

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/EGP options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Egypt

The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 436,835.3 EGP, which is 0.07% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Egypt

The fastest option is TapTap Send. Pay by debit card and choose mobile wallet for the payout. Your recipient gets 435,750 EGP in 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 8 ACPR-registered companies sending EUR to Egypt, with the rates refreshed in real time on live EUR/EGP searches.

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

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