Below, we provide detailed data-driven insights on various factors that influence the total cost of your Portugal to Brazil money transfers.
📈 EUR to BRL exchange rate is often the biggest driver of both cost and payout
The exchange rate on your Portugal to Brazil money transfers is usually the single biggest factor that will determine your overall EUR cost and your recipient's BRL 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 Brazil transfers:
- Average markup: 3.97%
- Median markup: 3.45%
- Lowest markup: -2.33%
ⓘA negative markup generally represents a promotional exchange rate whereby a provider offers an exchange rate that is even higher than the mid-market rate, often on smaller amounts. - Highest markup: 10.35%
That is a spread of 12.68 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 BRL 17.75 purely from differences in the exchange rate. That incremental saving increases to BRL 43.75 for a EUR 345 transfer.
🛠️ How to use this insight: When comparing providers for Portugal to Brazil 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 BRL 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 Portugal to Brazil 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 Brazil.
Based on data from last 5 years, we notice the below about Euro to Brazil money transfer fees:
- Average fee: EUR 2.79
- Median fee: EUR 2.99
- Lowest fee: EUR 0.00
- Highest fee: EUR 8.90
The average fee amount of EUR 2.79 noted above represents 2.00% 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 8.90.
🛠️ How to use this insight: For your next money transfer from Portugal to Brazilian Real, 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.

Can EUR-BRL exchange rate markup be negative?
