Question 3

What's the cheapest way to send money from Ethiopia to Latvia?

Accepted Answer

The final amount your recipient gets when you send ETB to EUR is the most important number that matters. In other words, you should try to minimize the impact of fees and other hidden charges (bad exchange rate is one of them) to achieve the most cost effective cross border remittance.

Before the dawn of the modern internet era, traditional methods to send money from Ethiopia to Latvia used to be banks, and small, local remittance players located in retail outlets and convenience stores. Unfortunately, all these options entail high fees and often provide low exchange rates - this results in an expensive money transfer whereby a big chunk of your hard earned money does not reach your recipient.

A great way to find the cheapest options to send Euro is by comparing numerous foreign exchange operators and service providers on RemitFinder. By eliminating the process of manually searching and comparing various companies, you can easily compare all your options in one place, thereby saving time and money. This way, you can get the best Ethiopian Birr to Latvia exchange rate. Further savings can be realized by utilizing many exclusive offers and promotions from our partners. These deals can help lower the cost of a money transfer even more, thereby giving you a higher return.

Question 4

Should I use my bank to send money from Ethiopia to Latvia?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend using your local bank in Ethiopia for your next ETB to EUR overseas funds transfer. The reason for this is that banks are known to give you worse exchange rates and yet charge high foreign exchange fees. That is a double whammy that will make the transaction much more expensive for you.

That said, there may be circumstances you may want to consider your bank for your international funds transfer. For example, if you need to move a very large sum of money from Ethiopia to Latvia (for property purchase, or any such high value transaction), and do not want smaller transactions. In such cases, be sure to carefully inspect all details of the remittance transaction that your bank offers you. You can use the RemitFinder remittance search engine to compare your bank's quote with many other money transfer companies to try to negotiate a better deal with your bank.

Notwithstanding any unique circumstances as above, you will generally save more by relying on online foreign exchange companies for sending EUR to Latvia. These companies will let you use your local bank account in Ethiopia to pay for your Latvia money transfer, but will likely save you a lot of money by affording better rates and citing lower foreign exchange transaction fees.

Question 5

What is the fastest way to transfer money from Ethiopia to Latvia?

Accepted Answer

It could be a stressful experience if you need to rush money quickly from Ethiopia to Latvia. How do you decide which option to pick to ensure your funds arrive at the destination in the fastest possible way?

First, you should ensure that you are picking the right payment method to convert ETB to EUR. Most remittance companies will allow you to pay by cash, with credit or debit cards, via a direct bank transfer, through a wire transfer, and so on. Digital payment methods like wire transfers and bank transfers will certainly delay your transaction as compared to cash payments.

Similarly, on the receiving side, your recipient also has multiple options to collect their monies in Euro. The payout choices generally include cash pickup, direct bank transfer, loading up a mobile wallet, and mobile airtime top up. If transaction speed is important, you could choose cash pickup if the receiver can access a close by pickup location. Just be aware that the exchange rate on cash transactions may not be the best, and there is risk in handling cash, especially for larger amounts. Otherwise, a mobile airtime top up or a bank deposit may be the next fastest possible ways unless there are bank holidays going on.

Foreign exchange transaction speed also depends on some additional factors like transfer amount, compliance and regulatory processes and vary from provider to provider.

Question 6

Which are the best money transfer companies to transfer money to Latvia from Ethiopia?

Accepted Answer

Comparing money transfer companies for sending money to Latvia from Ethiopia can be challenging, especially given the number of options out there. But, if you are armed with the right knowledge, it will help you make a more informed decision and, therefore, make the most of your hard earned money.

There are various areas you would want to inspect when evaluating these providers to gauge the best fit for sending money overseas to Latvia. How much do you want to send? Some companies deal with only small amounts, while others specialize in larger ones. Are you OK paying a fee for your Ethiopian Birr to Euro transfer or you will only go with 0 fees? How about exchange rates? Can you send money using non-fixed or indicative rates?

Once you start applying these conditions to the list of choices you see, you can start to eliminate companies that do not match any of your preferences. This will help fine tune the list to a small number. Finally, keep an eye on promotions and discounts as they will help maximize the Euro yield on every Ethiopian Birr that you send.
