How to send money from Netherlands to Sri Lanka

Pick a company

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

Regency FX was the cheapest on 28 of the 28 days it quoted €7,000 transfers to Sri Lanka.

On a 7,000 EUR transfer, Regency FX 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

There are 4 ways to fund your transfer, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL.

The most common way is to fund your account with iDEAL (Wero).

Verify and send

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.

Compare amounts

How much EUR are you sending to Sri Lanka?

How much EUR you send to Sri Lanka heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

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 Netherlands.

Right now, Regency FX pays 2,585,802.12 LKR on 7,000 EUR, which is 7,000.57 LKR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 2,624,328.03 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. Regency FXAppeared in 28 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 86 comparisons

    Cheapest in 9% of them

  3. OFXAppeared in 87 comparisons

    Cheapest in 11% 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 Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 9% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Sri Lanka.

Consider this when sending money from Netherlands to Sri Lanka

A few things to consider before sending money from Netherlands to Sri Lanka.

Compare your transfer options

Cheapest way to send money to Sri Lanka

The cheapest option for a €7,000 transfer is Regency FX, funded through bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,585,802.12 LKR, which is 0.11% 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 in Sri Lanka. Your recipient gets 2,554,854.39 LKR in within minutes.

iDEAL is becoming Wero

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.

Sending gifts can trigger Dutch gift tax

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.
