Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send R$1,400, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what R$1,400 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 CUP per BRL 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 CUP on every transfer from Brazil.
Right now, MoneyGram Agent pays 5,675.59 CUP on 1,400 BRL, which is 613.85 CUP less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 6,102.22 CUP.
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.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Cuba.
We've tracked 168 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

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 MoneyGram Agent is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
There are 1 ways to send money to Cuba across 2 money transfer companies.
For property and other large transfers
Brokers are best for large transfers, they will negotiate a better BRL/CUP rate, handle the paperwork, and guide you over the phone.
RegencyFX is a good option to try first and compare the quote to your bank and online money transfer specialist, then go with the cheaper option.
For freelancers & businesses
Global accounts like Airwallex, Wise Business, and Payoneer help with international CUP payments, invoicing, receiving payments, and more.
These are great for Brazilian businesses and freelancers, but not personal transfers.
With MoneyGram Agent, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending R$1,400 gives your recipient 5,675.59 CUP.
For paying for your transfer, you have bank transfer.
For withdrawals in Cuba, they can get it as bank deposit.
IOF can apply when you convert and send BRL abroad, so double check the tax shown before you send.
You pay R$1,400.00

Cheapest
Brazilian transfer quotes should show the tax, fee and exchange rate. The easiest way to compare them is through the VET, then check whether the payment is a transfer of your own money or a gift.
For a R$1,400 payment to Cuba, I suggest starting with these:
Cheapest:
MoneyGram Agent, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Cuba. Your recipient gets 5,675.59 CUP, which is 0.03% more than the next best option.
Fastest:
MoneyGram Agent, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 5,675.59 CUP in minutes - 3 days.
Pix can be used to deposit BRL from your bank to the transfer company's Brazilian account, but it cannot send money directly to Cuba.
The company then switches to local rails or uses an internal network of accounts to move BRL to Cuba.
Moving your own money and making a gift are not treated the same.
A gift may fall under ITCMD, which is set and collected by the relevant Brazilian state.
The rate, exemption and filing process depend on the state and the facts of the gift.
Check this before sending a large amount to family, particularly when the sender, recipient or estate has links to different states.
The Banco Central do Brasil says an authorised institution or its correspondent should explain the required documents and provide the VET.
If in doubt, check the institution's legal name with the Banco Central before sending.
Reclame Aqui can show service problems, but it does not replace the regulatory check.
We track 2 authorised companies sending BRL to Cuba, updated in real time during live comparisons.
The IOF is identical whoever you pick, so we compare on the spread and the all-in rate, plus the ways to pay and collect.
In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 168 comparisons across 7 amounts.
This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for BRL/CUP 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.
