Best ways to send money to Slovenia

Online money transfer providers typically offer the strongest exchange rates and lowest fees on money transfers to Slovenia. Some offer cash pickup in as little as a few minutes, while others transfer to bank accounts.

1. Digital money transfer services

Companies like XE and Wise specialize in foreign currencies, making them some of the most cost-effective ways to send money to Slovenia. Most offer transfers directly to your recipient's bank account in Slovenia, often in as little as a day or two.

• Why? Digital money transfer services are cheaper because they exist online and don't have as many employees or physical locations.

2. Cash transfers

Services like Remitly and WorldRemit allow you to transfer cash for pickup at a local branch in Slovenia— often in 15 minutes. While it's a fast way to send money, you'll pay for the convenience in weak exchange rates and high fees.

• Why? Picking up cash is more expensive because more people are involved.

3. Banks

The euro may be offered by your bank, but beware of high fees and wide margins on the exchange rate. Compare bank transfers to digital services and other options before sending a wire transfer to Slovenia.

• Why? Banks offer money transfers as a secondary service so don't strive to offer competitive prices.

Get the most out of your money transfer to Slovenia

Weigh costs and fees against convenience to best compare money transfer providers that send to Slovenia. Consider:

• Exchange rates. The USD–EUR relationship fluctuates, so using a service that allows you to lock in exchange prices may help you save money down the line if the euro rises against the US dollar.
• Transfer fees. Transferring money overseas nearly always requires fees, but they might be hidden in the exchange rate. When sending large amounts, it may be cheaper to pay a flat fee to secure a stronger USD–EUR exchange rate.
• Transfer limits. How much you can send varies by company, and different amounts can attract higher or lower fees. Shop around for the best deal on the amount of euros you're sending to Slovenia.
• Turnaround. Transferring money through a local bank can take a business week or longer. If you need the funds delivered quickly, seek out a digital specialist that offers instant transfers to Slovenia.
• Sending limits. Comparing prices for one large transfer instead of many small transfers is typically easier, so picking the service you use based on how much you're sending is a valid strategy for saving money.
• Transfer methods. Whether you want money sent to a bank account in Slovenia or picked up as cash at a local agent, narrow down a company that matches your preferred delivery method.
