How to send money from Italy to Sri Lanka

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Sri Lanka, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.

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

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best EUR/LKR rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to fund your transfer: bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.

Sending money to Sri Lanka directly with SEPA is expensive, but using it to fund the money transfer account, since its cheap and quick.

You can also use a debit card to fund the transfer, including the Postepay card.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need your codice fiscale and a photo ID to verify your account.

Ways to send money from Italy to Sri Lanka

8 companies send money from Italy to Sri Lanka. You can send EUR via app, online, broker, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more below.

Regular transfers

Money transfer apps

For the regular transfer home, an app like Xe is the easiest and most convenient option.

Xe charges €0 on a €7,000 transfer, and 2,651,816.3 LKR lands in minutes - 24 hours.

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

Outside the euro transfers, a bank transfer passes through intermediary banks, and each one can take a cut along the way.

Online services skip this and use their own network (it’s much cheaper).

Xe delivers 2,651,816.3 LKR on €7,000 with a €0 fee and -0.73% markup.

Sending large sums

Currency brokers

Managed services charge no fees and work on margin instead, and the more you send to Sri Lanka, the better rate you will get.

Xe charges no fee and adds -0.73% on EUR/LKR rate.

Travelling and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

If you travel to Sri Lanka often, or receive payments from there, this is the best option.

Multi-currency accounts let you hold EUR and LKR in one account, and give you local details.

I suggest trying Wise.

It holds EUR and LKR balances and charges small fees to convert between them.

For business payments

Global accounts

Global accounts are for businesses and freelancers with a partita IVA, paying suppliers abroad, invoicing foreign clients, holding a few currencies.

A few good options are Wise Business, Airwallex, and Payoneer.

Ways to fund EUR and receive LKR in Sri Lanka

With Xe, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 2,651,816.3 LKR.

In Italy, you can pay by bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.

Satispay and Bancomat Pay are mainly domestic payment methods, they do not send LKR to Sri Lanka by themselves.

In Sri Lanka, the recipient can use bank deposit, card deposit, mobile money, and cash pickup.

In Sri Lanka, they can collect cash through Bank Debit Card.

They need to take a photo ID and the collection reference to a participating Bank Debit Card location in Sri Lanka.

Consider this when sending money from Italy to LKR

For a transfer from Italy, compare the amount received first. Then check whether you are making a SEPA payment, an extra-SEPA transfer or a cash-agent remittance, because each works differently.

Compare money transfer options

These are the leading options for a €7,000 transfer to Sri Lanka.

Cheapest way to send money to Sri Lanka

The cheapest option is Xe, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,651,816.3 LKR, which is 1% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Sri Lanka

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,597,958.05 LKR, with the money arriving in within minutes.

SEPA only covers the first leg

A bonifico can move euros from your Italian bank to the transfer company through SEPA.

Companies like Xe then convert the money into LKR and pay your recipient in Sri Lanka through a local bank, a wallet, or a cash-pickup network.

SEPA may fund the transfer quickly, but the delivery time depends on the local payout method.

Check the agent when paying in person

In Italy, the term "money transfer" often means a cash-agent shop rather than an online bank transfer.

The Banca d'Italia confirms that money remittance must be provided by a bank, electronic money institution or authorised payment institution.

Their Italian agents must appear in the OAM register.

Prepare for anti-money-laundering checks

Italian banks and transfer companies can pause a large, unusual or poorly explained payment while they check its purpose and source.

Use a clear causale and keep the document that explains the money ready.

For property proceeds, tuition or moving savings, tell the bank before the transfer is due.

If a payment-service complaint is not resolved directly, the Arbitro Bancario Finanziario is the Italian financial ombudsman route.
