Mid-market rate: 1 EUR = 18.7312 ZAR · Sending €1,000.00 · Reference rate published by the European Central Bank (updated once per business day). · How we rank
How “recipient gets” is calculated: (amount you send − fee) × exchange rate. Every fee here is the one that provider quoted for €1,000.00 — fees can change with the amount you send, so confirm the final figure on the provider's site.
The top 2 options are within 0.5% of each other — close enough to be a tie at this amount, so the one listed first is not a clear winner. Pick on speed, payout method, or who your recipient already uses.
