What we've measured on SEK → ERN
Across 52 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 2.2% (widest single day: 3.0%). On a 1,000 SEK transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The best provider has changed 1 times in that window, across 2 different providers (TalkRemit has led on the most days). This corridor is genuinely competitive, so the cheapest option today may not be the cheapest next week.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for ERN, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Eritrea can be paid via cash pickup, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
Sending SEK from Sweden
Transfer services operating from Sweden are supervised by Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority). Swedish senders commonly fund transfers by bank transfer, often authenticating with Mobilt BankID.
This page compares providers for the Sweden → Eritrea corridor specifically, ranked by how much ERN your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.

What is the cheapest way to send SEK to ERN?

The best available rate is 1 SEK = 1.50 ERN via Western Union. The reference (mid-market) rate is 1.54, taken from Wise's published mid-market rate. Across 52 days of our own records, the spread between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 2.2%. Rates are updated every 4 hours. Always confirm the final rate on the provider's site before sending.
Are there hidden fees when sending SEK to ERN?
Some providers advertise “zero fees” but add a markup to the exchange rate instead. We rank by the total amount your recipient receives, which accounts for both the transfer fee and any exchange-rate markup — so you see the true cost. Learn how fees work →
