How to send money from Italy to Uganda

Pick a company

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

Xe was the cheapest on 2 of the 29 days it quoted €7,000 transfers to Uganda.

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

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

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to fund your transfer: bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Sending money to Uganda 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

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 UGX 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 2 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Xe pays 34,592,460 UGX on 7,000 EUR, which is 400,468.12 UGX more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 34,999,475.85 UGX.

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.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

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 Uganda.

We've tracked 93 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

  1. XeAppeared in 66 comparisons

    Cheapest in 9% of them

  2. Key CurrencyAppeared in 28 comparisons

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 28 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 93 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 UGX, but it was the cheapest in only 9% of the 66 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.

Consider this when sending money from Italy to Uganda

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 Uganda.

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 34,592,460 UGX, which is 1.4% 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 33,950,000 UGX, with the money arriving in 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 UGX and pay your recipient in Uganda 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
