How to send money from Italy to Canada

Pick a company

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

Xe was the cheapest on 1 of the 29 days it quoted €7,000 transfers to Canada.

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

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

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to fund your transfer: bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL.

Sending money to Canada 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

How much EUR are you sending to Canada?

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

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 CAD 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 CAD on every transfer from Italy.

Right now, Xe pays 10,921.4 CAD on 7,000 EUR, which is 19.96 CAD less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 11,244.68 CAD.

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 Canada.

We've tracked 94 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 5 amounts over the past month.

    Never the cheapest

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 Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most CAD, but it was the cheapest in only 5% of the 76 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.

Ways to send money from Italy to Canada

12 companies send money from Italy to Canada. You can send EUR via broker, app, online, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more below.

Regular transfers

Money transfer apps

For the regular transfer home, an app like Xe is the easiest and most convenient option.

Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 3% of the days it appeared for €7,000 transfers.

Xe charges €0 on a €7,000 transfer, and 10,921.4 CAD lands in minutes - 24 hours.

For one-off transfers

Online transfers

Outside the euro transfers, a bank transfer passes through intermediary banks, and each one can take a cut along the way.

Online services skip this and use their own network (it’s much cheaper).

Xe delivers 10,921.4 CAD on €7,000 with a €0 fee and 0.18% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 1 of the 29 days it quoted.

Sending large sums

Currency brokers

Managed services charge no fees and work on margin instead, and the more you send to Canada, the better rate you will get.

Xe charges no fee and adds 0.18% on EUR/CAD rate.

Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 5% of the transfers from €5,000 it quoted.

Travelling and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

If you travel to Canada often, or receive payments from there, this is the best option.

Multi-currency accounts let you hold EUR and CAD in one account, and give you local details.

I suggest trying Wise.

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

It holds EUR and CAD balances and charges small fees to convert between them.

For business payments

Global accounts

Global accounts are for businesses and freelancers with a partita IVA, paying suppliers abroad, invoicing foreign clients, holding a few currencies.

A few good options are Wise Business, Airwallex, and Payoneer.

Ways to fund EUR and receive CAD in Canada

With Xe, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 10,921.4 CAD.

In Italy, you can pay by bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and iDEAL.

Satispay and Bancomat Pay are mainly domestic payment methods, they do not send CAD to Canada by themselves.

In Canada, the recipient can use bank deposit and cash pickup.

In Canada, they can collect cash through All Banks.

They need to take a photo ID and the collection reference to a participating All Banks location in Canada.

Consider this when sending money from Italy to Canada

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 Canada.

Cheapest way to send money to Canada

The cheapest option is Xe, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,921.4 CAD, which is 0.07% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Canada

The fastest option is Revolut. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,821.38 CAD, with the money arriving in within 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 CAD and pay your recipient in Canada 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

Every company here is registered with Banca d'Italia or passported in from elsewhere in the EU.

We track 12 of them on EUR to Canada, comparing rates, fees and the ways to pay in and collect, updated in real time on live comparisons.

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

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for EUR/CAD 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.
