  1. Pick a service above and open it with our link (some give a bonus on the first transfer).

FAQ

What is the cheapest way to send money from United States to Brazil?

Compare the amount received, not the advertised fee: a "0% fee" service can hide 3% in the exchange rate. The list above already accounts for both.

How long does a transfer from United States to Brazil take?

Card-to-card and stablecoin transfers usually arrive within minutes; bank payouts can take up to 1–3 business days.

What is the USD to BRL exchange rate today?

The mid-market rate is 1 USD = 5.1853 BRL. Services add their own markup; we show how much of it you lose.

Are these services legal and safe?

All listed services are public companies with their own licences and terms. Check the recipient's country rules and your bank's limits before a large transfer.
