Real-time money transfers with a mobile app are the fastest, easiest way to send money to Romania. Most of them are free to download, and are up to 90% cheaper than banks. Some apps, like TransferGo, have outstanding Customer Service in Romanian for when users need support.

If you’re sending from a credit/debit card, you just use the TransferGo app to make international money transfers to a card or bank account in Romania. Choose the currency you’re sending to, your receiver’s full name and card details (or their phone number), and then your own details. That’s all there is to it.

Yes, you can, but it’s cheaper to use TransferGo—even if you’re sending from your bank account. Why? Because with TransferGo, your money doesn’t actually cross borders. You make a bank transfer to our account in the UK, and TransferGo pays your receiver from their account in Romania. This can save up to 90% on traditional bank transfer fees.

With TransferGo you can also send money from one card straight to another, and it’s almost instant. The functionality is extremely intuitive and allows you to complete transfers in under a minute.

It depends on which option you choose. TransferGo adds zero fees to transfers from one bank account to another, which arrive within 1 business day. Or if you’d rather an instant transfer from one card to another, there’s a flat 0.99 fee attached.
