Understanding the cost of sending money to South Africa from Norway

The cost of sending money from South Africa to South Africa, is made-up of a combination of fees and exchange rates:

The Mid-Market and Exchange Rates: The mid-market rate determines a mid-price for buying currency. The current mid-market rate from NOK-ZAR is 1.7516 ZAR per Norwegian Krone.

  • Finding a provider offering an exchange as close to 1.7516 as possible will ensure more Rand received when transferring.

  • For context, the NOK-ZAR mid-market rate for the past 7 days has averaged 1.7903 ZAR per Norwegian Krone. This includes a high of 1.8378, and low of 1.7563.

  • Wise currently offers the best exchange rate on transfers from Norway to South Africa.

For the most part the NOK-ZAR exchange rate you receive is the biggest factor impacting the cost of sending NOK to South Africa.

Fees: Outside of exchange rates, you may need to pay a fee to send. Key Currency currently offers the lowest fees on transfers to South Africa from Norway, averaging 0 NOK over the last 7 days. Although this does include large transfers as well, we recommend searching for your exact send amount for an exact fee.

Amount Received: The amount received in Rand is the amount you started with, minus the amount you paid in the exchange and fees.

The better deal you get on exchanging Norwegian Krones to ZAR, paired with a low fee, means a higher total amount received in South Africa.
