How to send money from Kuwait to Canada

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Germany, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.

On a 2,159 KWD transfer, Key Currency delivers the most CAD.

This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best KWD/CAD rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to deposit money, including bank transfer.

Cash still works, with a daily limit on how much.

Verify and send

You'll need your Civil ID to register and to send money to Canada.

Anything above KD 3,000 will likely need two months of bank statements, so have them ready rather than starting from scratch.

Ways to send money from Kuwait to Canada

4 companies send money from Kuwait to Canada, mostly through broker, online, app, and global account, and more below.

For sending KWD online

Apps & online transfers

There aren’t many options to send KWD online.

One of the best and cheapest options is Moneycorp

Sending .د.ك2,159 gets you 9,761.44 CAD with a 0 fee and 1.4% markup, usually in minutes - 2 days.

Large transfers from Kuwait

Currency brokers

For large transfers from Kuwait like buying property in Canada or moving your savings out, a broker like Key Currency charges no fee and works on a margin (around 0.25% on KWD/CAD).

You will need your Civil ID, salary certificate, and bank statements ready.

Anything above KD 3,000 gets asked for them now, and having it ready makes the process faster.

For business accounts

Global accounts

If you’re paying employees, freelancers, or contractors in India, global accounts are a much better option than money transfers services.

Companies like Xe Business, Payoneer, or Veem offer features and tools better suited to businesses in Kuwait.

Staying safe when sending KWD

Kuwait's exchange companies are supervised by the Central Bank of Kuwait.

A valid Civil ID is normally needed to register and send.

The company may also ask for the purpose of the transfer and source of funds, particularly when the amount is large or unusual for your account.

Keep the receipt and transfer reference until the CAD has arrived.

If an exchange company does not resolve a problem, you can submit a complaint directly through the CBK Customer Protection portal.

When in doubt, check the company in the CBK list of exchange companies.

KNET and WAMD do not send money abroad

KNET is Kuwait's domestic debit network, while WAMD moves money between participating Kuwaiti accounts using a mobile number.

Either may help you pay for the transfer to Canada depending on the company, but they send KWD directly to Canada.

Sort out a large transfer before leaving Kuwait

Moving savings or an end-of-service payment is easier while your Civil ID, Kuwait mobile number and bank access are still active.

Ask the bank or exchange company what documents it needs before the final payment reaches your account.

A salary certificate, bank statements or the end-of-service calculation may be requested.
