How to send money from Italy to Sri Lanka

Pick a company

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

TapTap Send was the cheapest on 1 of the 30 days it quoted €7,000 transfers to Sri Lanka.

On a 7,000 EUR transfer, TapTap Send 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 it's a cheap and quick way to fund your money transfer account.

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.

Compare amounts

How much EUR are you sending to Sri Lanka?

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 LKR 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 LKR on every transfer from Italy.

Right now, TapTap Send pays 2,590,000 LKR on 7,000 EUR, which is 2,089.96 LKR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 2,625,400.34 LKR.

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.

Cheapest over time

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 Sri Lanka.

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

  1. TapTap SendAppeared in 85 comparisons

    Cheapest in 6% of them

  2. MoneyGramAppeared in 81 comparisons

    Cheapest in 27% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 28 comparisons

    Cheapest in 93% 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 TapTap Send is the cheapest and gets you the most LKR, but it was the cheapest in only 6% of the 85 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 27% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Sri Lanka.

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

Ways to send money from Italy to Sri Lanka

7 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 TapTap Send is the easiest and most convenient option.

Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 13% of the days it appeared for €7,000 transfers.

TapTap Send charges €0 on a €7,000 transfer, and 2,590,000 LKR lands in minutes.

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).

MoneyGram delivers 2,586,705.8 LKR on €7,000 with a €1.99 fee and 0.21% markup.

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

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.

Regency FX charges no fee and adds 0.27% on EUR/LKR rate.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from €5,000 it quoted.

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.

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

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 TapTap Send, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 2,590,000 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, mobile money, cash pickup, and card deposit.

In Sri Lanka, they can collect cash through Select Banks.

They need to take a photo ID and the collection reference to a participating Select Banks location in Sri Lanka.

Consider this when sending money from Italy to Sri Lanka

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 TapTap Send, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,590,000 LKR, which is 0.13% 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 2,554,004.48 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 TapTap Send 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.

How we analyse the market

Every company here is registered with Banca d'Italia or passported in from elsewhere in the EU.

We track 7 of them on EUR to Sri Lanka, comparing rates, fees and the ways to pay in and collect, updated in real time on live comparisons.

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

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