What's the cheapest way to transfer money from Peru to South Africa?

The final amount your recipient gets when you send PEN to ZAR 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 Peru to South Africa 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 South African Rand 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 Peruvian Nuevo Sol to South Africa 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.


Should I use my bank to transfer money from Peru to South Africa?

We do not recommend using your local bank in Peru for your next PEN to ZAR 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 Peru to South Africa (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 ZAR to South Africa. These companies will let you use your local bank account in Peru to pay for your South Africa money transfer, but will likely save you a lot of money by affording better rates and citing lower foreign exchange transaction fees.


How to send money from Peru to South Africa fast?

It could be a stressful experience if you need to rush money quickly from Peru to South Africa. 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 PEN to ZAR. 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 South African Rand. 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. Check out our remittance guide to answer any questions you may have on how remittances work in general, and what factors affect the speed of your Peru to South Africa money transfers.
