There are a number of methods to transfer money to Brazil, but which one you eventually opt for will depend largely on your circumstances.

An individual who needs to transfer money to family in Brazil as a one-off might not end up using the same method as somebody who needs to transfer a pension to Brazil on a monthly basis.

Whatever your personal situation, you have three main options to transfer money to Brazil.

Firstly, you can use a bank. If you need to transfer money to the Banco do Brasil, or the Banco Real, for example, this could be a convenient way of going about things.

Your local high street bank in your country of residence should be able to set up a transfer for you with just one phone call or visit.

However, you should expect pay a per-transfer fee each time you move money to Brazil.

If you are transferring your pension or to cover payments on a property, then these fees will soon add-up and eat into your funds.

Alternatively, you can enquire with a Money Sending Bureau. These are small establishments found on high streets around the world, but bureaus can oftern charge additional fees that are usually between ten and 15 per cent.
