The costs of sending money to Nepal
The cost of NPR transfers depends on where your location, amount, funding and withdrawal methods, transfer fees, and the markup added on top of the NPR exchange rate.
Exchange rate markup
The exchange rate markup is the percentage added to the mid-market rate (the "real" NPR rate) by the service provider.
For example, Revolut offers one of the best exchange rates by applying a 0.2% markup on the USD-NPR exchange rate.
This means you receive 137.0302 NPR - 0.2% for every US Dollar sent.
Transfer fees
Transfer fees to Nepal can be either fixed, percentage-based, or a combination of both.
Suppose you want to send $7,000 to Nepal (NPR).
After analyzing 8 services supporting NPR, Xe appears to have the lowest fee of $4 per transfer to Nepal.
Deposit method
The way you fund your NPR transfers can significantly affect the cost.
bank transfer is the overall cheapest deposit method for sending money to Nepal.
Get the best NPR exchange rate
The exchange rate is the value of the NPR (Nepalese Rupee) against other currencies, and since it fluctuates, it will affect how much NPR the recipient will get. Sending money when NPR reaches the highest value will result in more NPR for your recipient.
Over the past 7 days, the NPR exchange rate has:
Averaged at 137.0302 Nepalese Rupee per USD
Reached a high of 137.5164 NPR/USD
Dropped to a low of 136.7191 NPR per US Dollar
You should aim to make a transfer when the rate is closer to 137.5164 NPR/USD . This will give your recipient in Nepal more Nepalese Rupee.
Pair your transfer with Revolut (who offers the best exchange rate), and you will maximize the amount of NPR received.
