What It Is

Overførsel.dk is an international money transfer comparison site for people sending money from Denmark, rather than a money transfer provider itself. Its focus is on showing the “true cost”: it compares not only explicit fees, but also exchange-rate markups, helping users choose between bank transfers, Wise, Revolut, XE, Remitly, WorldRemit, Western Union, and MoneyGram.

Core Features and Payment Coverage

The dimensions listed on the site are practical, including exchange-rate margin, fixed fees, delivery time, and payout methods. The comparison covers options such as deposits to bank accounts, Revolut/bank transfers, mobile wallets, and cash pickup. Example currencies include EUR, USD, GBP, NOK, SEK, PLN, TRY, THB, PHP, and INR. Example destination countries include the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Poland, the Philippines, and Thailand; it also mentions 36 SEPA countries and Western Union cash payout in 200+ countries.

Pricing and Delivery Time

According to the content, international transfers from Danish banks often come with a 2%-4% exchange-rate markup plus around 50-60 DKK in fees. Wise has an approximate 0.4%-0.6% spread, with fees from 12 DKK; one example shows a 33.54 DKK fee for converting 7,000 DKK to EUR. Revolut Standard has no fee on weekdays within a monthly exchange allowance of 7,500 DKK, with additional markups for amounts above the allowance and on weekends. In terms of delivery time, Wise is around 1-2 hours, Revolut can be instant to same-day, XE takes 1-2 business days, and cash pickup services can often be available within minutes.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its transparent approach to costs: it clearly explains “hidden costs” embedded in exchange rates, and discloses its data methodology, which is based on public product flows, reference amounts, and quarterly updates. The drawbacks are also clear: it does not execute transfers itself, and it does not disclose licensing or customer support capabilities. Some provider prices are shown as ranges, so the final actual cost still needs to be confirmed on the provider’s own page.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for individuals sending money from Denmark abroad who need to compare cost and speed, especially as an initial screening tool before recurring family remittances or larger cross-border payments. The content does not provide information about access from mainland China, RMB routes, or Chinese payment methods, so china_access can only be considered unknown. For users in China who need an actual transfer service, it would be better to directly compare available alternatives such as Wise, bank SWIFT transfers, or Western Union.
