Small transfers: watch the flat fee
On small amounts, a flat fee eats a bigger share of the total. OFX and other providers with a low fixed fee and fast card delivery often win here, even with a slightly weaker rate.
Large transfers: the markup dominates
On large amounts, a 1% markup can cost far more than any fee. Prioritize the lowest FX markup and consider a bank transfer to avoid card surcharges.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send money to Bulgaria?
Right now the highest payout comes from OFX. Rankings can change with live rates — check the table above for the current winner.
Does a zero transfer fee mean the best deal?
Not necessarily. A provider can recover the cost through a weaker exchange rate. Compare the recipient payout and the FX markup together.
How long does a transfer to Bulgaria take?
Delivery time depends on the provider and payment method — card-funded transfers are often fastest, while bank transfers can take one to two business days but may offer a stronger rate. Check each offer's stated speed above.
Is it safe to use these providers?
Check each provider's licensing, regulator and safeguarding terms for your jurisdiction before sending — see our transfer safety checklist.
Is the USD/BGN rate guaranteed?
No. Mid-market and provider rates can change. Always confirm the final quote on the provider's website before paying.
