Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Costa Rica, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
On a 7,000 EUR transfer, Regency FX delivers the most CRC.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best EUR/CRC rate.
There are 4 ways fund your transfer, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.
Most common way is to fund your account with iDEAL (Wero)
First time round you'll need a photo ID and a BSN.
On a first transfer to someone new, send a small amount and check it landed.
4 companies send money from the Netherlands to Costa Rica, across app, broker, online, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

You can pay for you transfer via app, broker, online, multi-currency account, and global account but you can’t use Tikkie for deposits.
For large EUR transfers
Currency brokers are the best for large transfers from Netherlands.
They handle the transfer for you, charge no fees, but add a markup on top of CRC rate.
For a property abroad or moving your savings, a broker like Regency FX is the best option.

These let you hold EUR and CRC in one account.
This is handy for receiving payments, spending CRC and EUR, or travelling to Costa Rica.
Wise is the cheapest multi-currency account.
It converts €7,000 at 0.67% markup plus €107.6 fee and holds the CRC until you send or spend it.

Companies like Wise Business, Airwallex, or Payoneer offer batch payments, invoicing, admin tools, and more.

In Costa Rica, the recipient can collect CRC through bank deposit.
You can deposit EUR using bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.

A few things to consider before sending money from Netherlands to Costa Rica.
Cheapest way to send money to Costa Rica

Fastest way to send money to Costa Rica

iDEAL remains the normal way to approve an online payment from a Dutch bank account.
Since 2026, the name and payment experience have been moving to Wero in stages.
Dutch rules treat a gift to someone abroad in the same way as a gift to someone in the Netherlands.
For 2026, the annual exemption is €6,908 when parents give to a child and €2,769 for most other recipients.
The recipient normally files the return if the total from the same donor exceeds the exemption.
The Belastingdienst explains gifts abroad and publishes the current exemptions.
Regularly paying a genuine shared expense is not automatically the same as making a gift, but keep records showing what the payment covered.
The EUR/CRC rate can move quickly, so recent highs and lows help put the current quote into context.
Mid-market rate:1 EUR = 518.071915 CRC
