Transfers to Spain: the basics

Fonmoney handles transfers to Spain from Mexico, Chile or the UK and from other countries that have their own currency. Here are the questions people ask us most.

▸ Which countries can I send money to Spain from?

From supported countries that do not use the euro, for example Mexico, Chile, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Switzerland, Norway or Poland. Fonmoney converts your currency into euros for the recipient.

▸ Can I send money to Spain from a eurozone country?

No. The service is designed for transfers that include a currency exchange, so Fonmoney does not offer euro-to-euro transfers to Spain.

▸ In which currency does the recipient in Spain get the money?

In euros. You pay in your own currency, such as Mexican pesos, Chilean pesos or British pounds, and Fonmoney shows you the exact euro amount before you confirm.

▸ How does a transfer to Spain work?

You create an account, enter the amount, add the recipient's full name and IBAN, verify your identity and pay. The euros go to the recipient's Spanish bank account, and you get a confirmation by email.

Paying for your transfer and keeping it safe

▸ How can I pay for a transfer to Spain?

By credit card, debit card or bank transfer. Which of these you can use depends on the country you send from.

▸ How much does it cost to send money to Spain?

That depends on the sending country, the amount and the payment method. Before you confirm, Fonmoney shows the fee, the exchange rate and the amount in euros. Nothing is added later, and the recipient pays nothing.

▸ What details do I need for the recipient in Spain?

Their full name and the IBAN of their Spanish bank account. Spanish IBANs start with ES and have 24 characters. Please check both before you pay.

▸ Is my transfer to Spain safe?

Yes. Fonmoney is regulated in the European Union (Banco de España) and the United Kingdom (FCA). Payments run over an encrypted connection, and every sender goes through an identity check.
