Send Money to Portugal

Are you paying over the odds to send money to Portugal from Canada? Find a better way to make international money transfers without involving the banks. 

Given that Canada and Portugal have strong ties, deep people-to-people links, and mutually beneficial commercial relations, you find that many Canadians need to send money to the Portuguese Republic. If you belong to this group, here’s a valuable pro tip: You don’t have to settle for bank services when you can find a more convenient money transfer service with competitive exchange rates and lower transfer fees. 

You could be a Canadian expat or maybe you want to send money to family, friends, or suppliers in Portugal. Using the best money service means you add fewer dollars on top for your recipient to receive the correct amount. The savings are well worth it whether you need to send money regularly or once-off. 

This is just one of the many benefits of using a specialist money transfer service. 

What is the Current EUR/CAD Exchange Rate?

The Portuguese escudo was once the official currency, but the Euro replaced it in 2002 after Portugal became a member of the European Union. So, if you’re sending money to Portugal, it’s in your best interests to check the current EUR/CAD exchange rate.  

Not all money transfer providers are willing to offer you the best available rate. For instance, banks consistently offer poor exchange rates, so it’s better to use a specialist money transfer service willing to share its profits by offering a more favorable exchange rate.  

When you send money via MTFX, you get midmarket rates and access to a rates calculator that gives you the bigger picture before you press “send.”
