Practical Tips for Planning European Transfers
When sending money from South Africa to Europe, a little planning can go a long way in helping you stay compliant, save on fees, and avoid delays.
Here are some helpful tips:
- Track your annual sending total to ensure you remain within the R1 million Single Discretionary Allowance. Keeping a record of your transfers helps avoid unintentional breaches.
- Plan ahead if you need to send more than R25,000 in a single month. Mama Money allows you to upgrade your limit to R50,000 per transaction and R100,000 per month—just ensure you start the upgrade process early to avoid any delays.
- Use the Mama Money app to check your current limits, track transfers, and apply for increases when needed. It's a convenient way to manage your sending activity in one place.
- Always verify exchange rates before sending. Currency fluctuations can impact how much your recipient receives, so it's worth checking for a favourable rate before confirming your transfer.
- Avoid informal or unregulated channels. These may seem cheaper, but they can put your money at risk and violate exchange control laws, leading to penalties or loss of funds.
With the right planning and a trusted provider like Mama Money, sending money to Europe can be simple, safe, and fully compliant.
