How to send money from Sweden to Sri Lanka

Pick a company

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

TapTap Send was the cheapest on 22 of the 28 days it quoted kr80,000 transfers to Sri Lanka.

On a 80,000 SEK 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 SEK/LKR rate.

Fund your transfer

You can pay for the transfer using bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

A transfer from your Swedish bank is usually the easiest way to fund the transfer.

Verify and send

Before you can send money to Sri Lanka, you'll need to verify your account.

Most companies do it with BankID.

If you can't get BankID yet, some companies will take a passport instead (but it's less common).

Compare amounts

How much SEK are you sending to Sri Lanka?

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send 80 000 kr, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what 80 000 kr 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 SEK 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 Sweden.

Right now, TapTap Send pays 2,670,400 LKR on 80,000 SEK, which is 3,345.92 LKR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 2,680,912.74 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 89 comparisons

    Cheapest in 75% of them

  2. Regency FXAppeared in 27 comparisons

    Cheapest in 30% of them

  3. WiseAppeared in 91 comparisons

    Cheapest in 1% 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, and it was also the cheapest in 75% of the 89 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Sri Lanka.

In many cases you will need a BankID to verify your account, but a few will do with a passport or driver's licence.

Spending and travelling

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account makes sense if you regularly need LKR.

You can convert your kronor in advance and use the balance when needed without extra fees.

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

Paying from business accounts

Global accounts

If your business receives and sends money in Sri Lanka, a global account keeps the LKR in one place.

Consider this before sending SEK to Sri Lanka

Swedish banks are safe but often expensive for foreign payments. Compare money transfer companies available to get the most LKR from Sweden.

Compare SEK to LKR transfer options

Cheapest way to send money to Sri Lanka

The cheapest option for an SEK 80,000 transfer is TapTap Send. Pay by debit card and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,670,400 LKR, which is 0.15% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Sri Lanka

With Revolut, a bank transfer deposit and bank deposit payout delivers 2,630,509.09 LKR in within minutes.

Swish only works in Sweden

Swish moves money between participating Swedish accounts, it cannot send SEK to Sri Lanka.

You may still use a Swedish bank transfer to pay for the transfer online, but beyond that, the company will move SEK to Sri Lanka over local rails or SWIFT.

Avoid delays

A bank can ask for the purpose and source of a large or unusual payment.

Property sales, inheritances and transfers between your own accounts are easier to clear when the documents match the description you gave the bank.

Tell your bank before a time-sensitive payment and keep the sale contract, estate document or account statement ready.

And do not split one large payment into many small ones, since it can trigger more questions.

Sweden does not charge gift tax

Sweden has no gift or inheritance tax, so sending a cash gift does not create a Swedish gift-tax return.

Sri Lanka may have their own rules on receiving monetary gifts.

How we analyse the market

We track 6 companies sending SEK to Sri Lanka, all registered with Finansinspektionen or passported in, with rates refreshed in real time on live searches.

The krona floats, so we compare on what actually arrives, alongside fees and the ways to pay and collect.

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

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for SEK/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.
