Send money to Tunisia: compare the real cost

How we compare

We start from the World Bank's Remittance Prices Worldwide survey, the reference used by the G20 and the UN to track transfer costs. It records each provider's fee and exchange-rate margin for two amounts.

We apply those to your amount and to today's mid-market euro–dinar rate, so you see an estimate of what arrives in Tunisia. The mid-market rate is refreshed every day.

Results are sorted by the amount received. Providers cannot pay to appear or to rank higher.

How to check a provider is safe

• Use a provider authorised in the EU. Its legal name and licence are in its terms; you can check them in the regulator's register (ACPR's REGAFI in France, Banca d'Italia in Italy, BaFin in Germany, or the regulator of the country where it is licensed).
• Avoid informal channels: there is no protection if money is lost, and they fall outside Tunisian exchange rules.
• Never share a transfer reference or code with anyone other than the recipient, and be wary of anyone asking you to send money to a stranger.

Ways to pay less

• Compare the amount received, not just the fee: a “zero fee” offer can hide a wide exchange-rate margin.
• Fees are partly fixed, so one larger transfer usually costs less in percentage terms than several small ones.
• Online transfers are usually cheaper than paying cash at an agent or a bank branch.
• First-transfer promotions can be generous but are one-offs; compare the regular price too.
