Wire money to Canada in minutes

The cost of sending your money to another country changes based on how you choose to pay, the type of money you're sending, and where you're sending.

If you use the Xe app or go online, you can see the exact cost before you send your money. Because we use live exchange rates, the cost of your transfer might change before you finish the transaction. If that happens, we'll let you know right away.

In some countries, people have to pay a fee when they use a credit or debit card for their money transfer. This fee is a percentage of the total amount you're sending. Also, if you use a credit card, your card company might charge you a separate fee called a cash advance fee.

If you need to send money fast, we recommend using a card — most card transfers are completed within minutes. If you pay with a bank or wire transfer, you won't have to pay a fee, but it could take up to four business days for the money to get to the person you're sending it to.

Initiating a money transfer reveals typical durations. Delivery time estimates may change based on currency, destination, and payment method. Track transfers using the Activity screen on the Xe app or website and chat live with our virtual assistant, Lexi, for assistance.

Fastest payment options:
Transfers begin once we've received your payment.

Card payments are the quickest, processed almost instantly. Choose card payment for urgent transfers.

Bank transfers, direct debits, and ACH are a bit slower, taking up to 2 business days to reach us.

Delivery timeframes:
After receiving your payment, we send your money. Allow 1 to 3 business days for transfers to reach recipients, depending on currency and destination. For concerns, chat with Lexi to track transfers.

For your security, we do have limits on how much you can send in a single online transfer.

Since the transfer’s going directly to your bank account, the sender will need to have the bank information handy to send the transfer.

Make sure that the sender knows the following information:

• Your name

• Your address (your residential address, not the bank’s address)

• Your bank account number

• Your BIC or SWIFT code

• Your bank name

Most transfers will arrive on the same day, but occasionally some recipient banks can take between 1-4 days to deposit the money in your account. Depending on the payment method and the delivery route, it could even reach you in just a few minutes.

The money will be automatically deposited into your account. No need to head out to your local bank’s branch and wait in line; just wait for your bank to notify you that there’s been a deposit in your account.

Cash pickup lets Xe users in Canada, New Zealand, Europe, the UK, and the USA send money quickly in physical form.

As a sender, pick an amount and pay. We'll generate a PIN for your recipient to collect the money at a chosen location, subject to our Terms and Conditions.

Choose it as your preferred delivery option during the regular sending process.

For new customers, select the currencies and destination country, then switch from bank transfer to cash pickup if available. If not, select another delivery option.

Pay for cash pickups with credit/debit card or ACH (US only).

Recipients can collect money at a specific store or any branch of selected partners. You'll decide the location during the payment process.

After payment, you'll see the pickup location and PIN. Share the PIN with your recipient. They'll need valid government-issued ID and the PIN to collect the money.

If you send more than $50,000 USD a year (or local currency equivalent) you are eligible for this service.
