How to send money to Czech Republic

How To Step Icon
Step 1
Comparing alternatives, creating an account
Comparing alternatives, creating an account

How To Step Icon
Step 2
Reviewing exchange rates, getting started with the transfer
Reviewing exchange rates, getting started with the transfer
Decide if you wish to transfer money to Czech Republic now by reviewing CZK exchange rates from the last few months.
To get the transfer process started, get a rate quote from your service provider by informing it of how much money you plan to send. Confirm the transfer by locking the rate on offer.
Find out how long it might take for the money to reach the recipient, and provide the recipient's local bank account details.
How To Step Icon
Step 3
Making the payment, tracking the transfer
Making the payment, tracking the transfer
Depending on the company you sign up with, you may get to pay for your transfer in different ways.
Your service provider does not send money to Czech Republic until it receives your payment.
You may check your service provider's website for updates surrounding your transfer's progress. Several companies also use email and text notifications to keep their customers updated.

Currency Symbol and Swift Codes

The Czech koruna (CZK) has served as the official currency of Czech Republic since 1993. As part of the European Union, Czech Republic is required to switch to the euro at some point in the future. The Czech koruna is also referred to as the Czech crown.

If you plan to transfer money to a bank account in Czech Republic, you will need the bank’s SWIFT code. The corresponding table lists SWIFT codes of some of the leading banks in the country.

Case Study

Jakub had lived in Prague for most part of his life. When he was required to relocate to Germany because of work, he was certain that he wanted to return to Czech Republic in the future. Upon moving to Germany, he had to keep making repayments toward his home loan. A friend told him that specialist money transfer companies typically offered better deals than banks, so he decided to compare his options. This is what he found.

 BANKMONEY TRANSFER SERVICE
Exchange rateEUR 1 = CZK 25.0161EUR 1 = CZK 25.2489
Transfer feeEUR 20EUR 0
Amount received for EUR 5,500CZK 137,088.23CZK 138,868.05
Transfer time2 to 5 days1 to 2 days
Transfer optionsBank accountBank account
Difference of CZK 1,780.72

Jakub benefited in more than one way by selecting the money transfer company instead of the bank. Not only did he manage to make slightly larger repayments toward his loan, he could lock in exchange rates for up to 12 months. In addition, he could schedule his transfers so he did not have to carry them out every month.

 

Cash Pickup Locations in Czech Republic

You may use the services of companies such as Western Union and MoneyGram if you want to send money to Czech Republic quickly. Sending money to a cash pickup center is also an option if the recipient does not have a Czech bank account.

Safety Tips for Picking Up Cash in Czech Republic

Instances of violent crime in Czech Republic are rare. However, petty crimes such as bag snatching and pickpocketing are common, especially in and around Prague. When exchanging currency, make sure you do so at a bank or a currency exchange office, because you may get counterfeit banknotes when exchanging currency on the street.

Remain vigilant at Prague’s main station, at popular tourist spots, at major hotels, and when using public transportation. There have been instances of thieves operating in gangs and robbing victims by swarming and jostling them. Do not leave valuables or any other luggage in parked cars because car break-ins are known to occur in the bigger cities.

Do not leave your food or drink unattended, and do not accept food, drinks, or cigarettes from strangers or acquaintances. This is to avoid getting drugged and put yourself at risk of robbery and sexual assault.

 

What Information Do I Need to Transfer Money to Czech Republic?

When you transfer money to Czech Republic you will need to provide some information depending on the transfer method you select.

  • Sending to a bank account. You will need the recipient’s complete name and IBAN along with the receiving bank’s name and SWIFT code.
  • Sending to a cash pickup center. Get the recipient to identify a suitable cash pickup center because you will need this information along with the recipient’s complete name. The recipient may collect the transferred money by presenting a valid form of ID and a transaction number.

 

Regulations When Transferring Money To and From Czech Republic

The Czech koruna is a fully convertible currency and the Czech Republic does not have any exchange controls that affect trade in goods. The Czech National Bank is responsible for overseeing the country’s payment systems, and it also works in safeguarding the stability of the koruna. The Clearing and Settlement System owned by the Czech National Bank functions as the country’s only interbank settlement system.
