Send Money to Peru — Best Rates & Providers in 2026

September 3, 2026 · 4 min read

Peru receives remittances mainly from the United States, Spain and other parts of Europe. The Peruvian sol (PEN) is a relatively stable currency, so the difference between providers comes down to the fee and the exchange-rate margin — compare the soles your recipient actually receives.

Where you can send from

We track live PEN rates from the USA, Europe and the UK. The US → Peru corridor is the largest by volume, with Europe → Peru significant thanks to the Peruvian community in Spain and Italy.

Providers for PEN transfers

Wise applies the mid-market rate with a clear fee. Remitly and WorldRemit offer bank deposit and cash pickup. Ria and Western Union have broad cash-pickup coverage in Peru. Paysend and TapTap Send keep fees low for bank and card payouts.

Delivery methods in Peru

  • Bank deposit: to BCP, BBVA, Interbank, Scotiabank and others. Usually the cheapest option.
  • Cash pickup: at agent networks nationwide, useful where the recipient has no bank account.
  • Wallet: Yape and Plin are widely used in Peru and increasingly supported.

Tips for PEN transfers

  1. 1. Compare soles received, not just the fee — the rate margin usually costs more.
  2. 2. Bank deposit is normally cheapest; use cash pickup only if the recipient needs it.
  3. 3. Fund by bank transfer instead of card to avoid a surcharge.
