Send money to Cape Verde

Cape Verde is compared here from 2 sending markets — the USA and Portugal. Recipients are paid in Cabo Verdean escudo (CVE), usually by bank deposit and cash pickup, with mobile money at one provider.

The escudo is pegged to the euro. On an island economy a recipient's bank may be the only one on their island, which is why the breadth of a provider's bank list matters more here than usual.

On 1 of these route a like-for-like recipient amount was checked against the mid-market rate, so the cards below can say what the best provider actually pays.
