Transfer fees from Canada to Spain vary by provider. Specialist services charge C$0–10 per transfer, while banks charge C$25–50 plus a 2–5% exchange rate markup. The exchange rate markup is usually the bigger cost — always compare the total EUR your recipient receives, not just the advertised fee.
The true cost of a money transfer has two components:
Transfer fee
The upfront charge — typically C$0–C$10 with specialist providers.
Exchange rate markup
The hidden cost — the difference between the provider's rate and the mid-market rate (0.6264).
Choose how you want to pay for your transfer. Each payment method has different costs and speeds.
SEPA is the gold standard for EUR transfers — it's faster and cheaper than SWIFT. If your provider offers SEPA routing, always choose it over SWIFT for European bank deposits.
