Sending money to Romania
Romanian workers are among the UK’s largest EU-origin communities, and remittances to Romania are a significant part of household budgets back home.
The converted figures above use the mid-market rate — the fair midpoint between buy and sell prices. It is a planning baseline, not the rate you receive: banks and money-transfer services add a margin (typically 0.5%–4%) and sometimes a fixed fee, so the amount that actually arrives in Romania will be a little lower. Compare regulated providers before sending to get as close to the mid-market rate as possible.
