What to consider before sending EUR to Morocco

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/MAD options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Uganda

The cheapest option is Xe, 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 way to send money to Uganda

The fastest option is TapTap Send. Pay by debit card and choose mobile money for the payout. Your recipient gets 30,870,000 UGX 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.
