Send Money from Portugal to Sri Lanka

Being away from family in Portugal can be difficult, especially when you want to ensure they receive your support. Fortunately, sending money back home is a straightforward way to bridge that distance. Transferring funds is not just about the money. It’s a gesture of love, care, and dedication to your family’s well-being in Sri Lanka.

Although ACE Money Transfer doesn’t offer a mobile wallet option for Sri Lanka, there are still efficient ways to send money from Portugal. Let’s take a look at how you can transfer funds quickly, securely, and with peace of mind.

Preparing to Send Your Support

A smooth transfer from Portugal to Sri Lanka ensures that your family receives their funds without any issues. Here’s a quick guide on what’s needed to get started:

From Your Side (Sender in Portugal):

• ACE Account: Set up a secure, verified ACE account for safe remittances.
• Payment Method: Choose a valid payment method, such as a bank account or debit card, to fund your transfer.
• Recipient’s Details: Make sure you have your family member’s accurate banking information or mobile wallet details if applicable (ACE offers other options outside mobile wallets for Sri Lanka).

From Recipient’s Side (Sri Lanka):

• Active Account: Your family member must have an active bank account or another method for receiving funds.
• Registered Information: Make sure the account number or mobile number linked to their receiving method is correct.

Step-by-Step Process for Sending Money

Step 1 – Sign Up or Log In

• Access the Platform: Download the ACE Money Transfer app (available on iOS and Android) or visit the ACE website. The app is often recommended for the fastest experience.
• New Users: The sign-up process is quick and guided. Complete the identity verification (KYC) to ensure safety and compliance.
• Returning Users: Log in with your credentials, with the option of biometric login (fingerprint or Face ID) for easier access.

Step 2 – Choose Sri Lanka as Destination

From the main dashboard, select Portugal as the sending country and Sri Lanka as the receiving country.

Step 3 – Choose a Payout Method

Since mobile wallet transfers are not available in Sri Lanka, opt for Bank Transfer or Cash Pickup as the payout method. This allows the funds to reach your family through local banks or other accessible pickup locations.

Step 4 – Enter Recipient Details

• Existing Recipient: If you’ve sent money before, simply select your family member from the saved recipient list. Their details will auto-fill.
• New Recipient: Enter the recipient’s full legal name and their bank account details or the required information for cash pickup.

Step 5 – Enter the Transfer Amount

Enter the amount you wish to send in Euros (EUR). ACE will perform a live currency conversion and display the amount in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR).

Step 6 – Pay Securely & Confirm

Select your preferred payment method from Portugal (e.g., debit card for instant funding or bank transfer). Complete the payment securely.

Step 7 – Confirmation

Once the payment is processed, you’ll receive a transaction reference number (tracking code). Use this code in the ACE app to track the status of your transfer in real-time until your recipient receives the funds.
