Transfers to Italy: the basics

Fonmoney handles transfers to Italy from Switzerland, the UK or Canada and other countries with their own currency. Here is what people ask most.

▸ Which countries can I send money to Italy from?

From supported countries with a currency other than the euro, for example the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Mexico or Chile. Fonmoney converts your currency into euros for the recipient.

▸ Can I send money to Italy from a eurozone country?

No. This service is built for transfers with a currency exchange, so euro-to-euro transfers to Italy are not possible with Fonmoney.

▸ In which currency does the recipient in Italy get the money?

In euros. You pay in your own currency, for example pounds, Swiss francs or Canadian dollars, and Fonmoney shows you the exact euro amount before you confirm.

▸ How does a transfer to Italy work?

Create your account, enter the amount, add the recipient's full name and IBAN, verify your identity and pay. The recipient gets euros in their Italian bank account, and you receive a confirmation by email.

Payment and security

▸ How can I pay for a transfer to Italy?

Fonmoney accepts credit or debit card and bank transfer. The methods available can vary by sending country.

▸ How much does it cost to send money to Italy?

It depends on the sending country, the amount and the payment method. Before you confirm, you see the fee, the exchange rate to euros and the exact amount the recipient gets. There are no hidden costs, and the recipient pays nothing.

▸ What details do I need for the recipient in Italy?

The recipient's full name and the IBAN of their Italian bank account. Italian IBANs start with IT. Check the details carefully before you pay.

▸ Is my transfer to Italy safe?

Yes. Fonmoney is regulated by the Banco de España in the European Union and by the FCA in the United Kingdom. Payments run over an SSL-encrypted connection, and every sender goes through identity verification.
