Below, we provide detailed data-driven insights on various factors that influence the total cost of your Germany to Macedonia money transfers.
📈 EUR to MKD exchange rate is often the biggest driver of both cost and payout
The exchange rate on your Germany to Macedonia money transfers is usually the single biggest factor that will determine your overall EUR cost and your recipient's MKD payout.
To analyze exchange rates, we will rely on the exchange rate markup (also called FX margin) which is the difference between the mid-market exchange rate
Based on historical pricing data for a EUR 140 money transfer benchmark, we see the following FX markup ranges for Euro to Macedonia transfers:
- Average markup: 0.07%
- Median markup: 0.00%
- Lowest markup: 0.00%
- Highest markup: 2.24%
That is a spread of 2.24 percentage points between the lowest and highest observed FX markups.
To put this into perspective, on a EUR 140 transfer, the above markup range is equivalent to roughly MKD 3.14 purely from differences in the exchange rate. That incremental saving increases to MKD 7.73 for a EUR 345 transfer.
🛠️ How to use this insight: When comparing providers for Germany to Macedonia remittances, pay close attention to the exchange rate you receive. A small difference in the FX markup can quickly outweigh other factors like fees, and the gap generally grows as transfer amounts increase.
EUR to MKD exchange rate can be the single most critical factor that determines the cost of your transfer. When comparing providers, keep an eye on the rate you will get.
💰 Transfer fees affect your total Germany to Macedonia remittance cost
Whilst exchange rate is a major factor affecting total transfer cost, the transfer fee can also have a big impact on how much of your Euro reaches your recipient in Macedonia.
Based on data from last 5 years, we notice the below about Euro to Macedonia money transfer fees:
- Average fee: EUR 9.03
- Median fee: EUR 6.90
- Lowest fee: EUR 0.00
- Highest fee: EUR 20.00
The average fee amount of EUR 9.03 noted above represents 6.45% of the total amount sent.
Also note that even if two providers provide the same exchange rate, a best vs worst case transfer fee can increase the payout by EUR 20.00.
🛠️ How to use this insight: For your next money transfer from Germany to Macedonian Denar, look for providers that provide lower (or even 0) fees.
One caveat to this, though, is something called the hidden fee. Some providers may hide their real fees by offering a 0 or low fee, but providing a lower exchange rate. The money lost due to an inferior FX rate affects your bottom line and is referred to as a hidden fee. Therefore, you should also keep an eye on rates whilst paying attention to fees.
Another point that you should keep in mind is that for larger transfers, fixed fees become a lesser percentage of total amount. But for smaller transfers, fees can be a major part of total cost.
