Tips for sending money from Germany to China

  • 1

    Use mobile money: to China, money can be delivered straight to WeChat Pay, Alipay. A mobile wallet works without a bank account.

  • 2

    Compare the margin on the exchange rate, not just the stated fees: that is where most of the cost sits. On the corridors we record, the best bank ranges from 0.6% to 5.2% of the amount sent — sometimes cheaper than a specialist, sometimes not.

  • 3

    Avoid sending at weekends: exchange rates are less favourable. Prefer business days for your transfers.

FAQ — Send money from Germany to China

What is the best way to send money from Germany to China?

The best method depends on the amount and the speed you need. Wise is generally cheapest for bank transfers. WorldRemit and Remitly send directly to mobile money. Western Union and MoneyGram suit cash pickup within minutes. Compare the recorded rates in the table above.

How long does it take to send money from Germany to China?

Delivery times differ by provider and by payout method. When a provider states an estimate, we show it in the table; when it states none, we say so rather than guess.

What are the fees for a transfer from Germany to China?

The total cost combines the stated fee and the margin applied to the exchange rate. It varies by corridor, by provider and by amount — which is why we record a quote for several amounts rather than quoting a single figure. The table above shows the recorded cost for this corridor, with its collection date.

Can I send money directly to a mobile phone in China?

Yes. China has a well-developed mobile money network. WorldRemit and Remitly send directly to the country's mobile wallets.
