How to send money to Mexico from Canada

No1 18b28b8f7f.
Verify your identity

Submit a government-issued ID to complete this one-time FINTRAC requirement, which confirms your identity and sets your sending limit, including how much you can transfer to Mexico per transaction.

No2 0fcc115784.
Enter your recipient's details

Select how your recipient receives the money — bank deposit or cash pickup — then provide the required details. For a bank deposit, that means the recipient's full legal name and their 18-digit CLABE number, which is the standard Mexican bank identifier used to route electronic transfers through the SPEI system. For cash pickup, the full legal name must match the INE or other valid Mexican government ID they'll present at the counter.

No3 814c704aba.
Enter your transfer amount

Type in the CAD amount you want to send, and the live CAD-to-MXN exchange rate, along with the exact pesos your recipient will receive, appear on screen before you proceed what you confirm is what arrives.

No4 352f9051c5.
Choose your payment method

Fund your transfer via Interac e-Transfer, EFT, debit card, or bill payment; transfers above $500 CAD via e-Transfer, EFT, or bill payment incur no service fee

No5 377cf751e2.
Confirm your transfer 

One screen shows the MXN amount, the exchange rate, and the fee — once you confirm, the amount is final, and the transfer begins moving toward Mexico immediately.

No6 9d70c10a35.
Track your transfer in real time

Watch your money move from Canada to a bank account at BBVA México, Santander México, Citibanamex, or HSBC México, or to a cash pickup counter at Walmart, 7-Eleven, or Farmacias Guadalajara with live updates at every stage.

Cheapest way to send money to Mexico from Canada

Transfer $500 CAD or more to Mexico via Interac e-Transfer, EFT, or bill payment, and the service fee is zero — the full amount converts to MXN with only the exchange rate margin applied, and nothing extra is taken out before it reaches your family.

For transfers under $500 CAD using those same methods, a flat $2.99 fee applies. With a debit card, the fee scales with the transfer size rather than sitting flat, which means the savings gap between debit and e-Transfer grows the more pesos you're trying to send — and for families supporting a household in Mexico on a monthly cycle, that gap compounds into a meaningful difference over a year.

Best way to send money to Mexico from Canada

Mexico's payout infrastructure reaches further than almost any other remittance corridor in the world — bank deposits clear through the SPEI interbank system in real time, and cash pickup is available at convenience stores, pharmacies, retail chains, and dedicated remittance offices in cities, towns, and rural communities across the country.

Bank deposit via CLABE

Funds arrive directly in your recipient's Mexican bank account using their 18-digit CLABE number — the standardized electronic identifier that routes peso deposits through the SPEI system. Supported banks include BBVA México, Santander México, Banco Inbursa, HSBC México, Scotiabank México, Citibanamex, and Afirme. Once a SPEI-routed transfer enters the Mexican banking system, crediting at the receiving bank is typically same-day.

Cash Pickup

Cash pickup is a practical option for recipients in Mexico who do not have a bank account or prefer collecting money in person. They can visit a nearby retail store, pharmacy, remittance office, bank branch, or local pickup point such as Walmart, 7-Eleven, Farmacias Guadalajara, Telecomm, Banorte, Intermex, or Caja Popular Mexicana, then collect pesos in cash by showing their INE or passport and the transfer reference number, with no app, account, or sign-up required.

Available payment methods & speed

Every method below funds your transfer from the Canada side — the one you choose determines how quickly pesos start moving toward your family's bank account or pickup counter in Mexico.

Instant
Debit card

Your Visa or Mastercard debit processes the payment immediately, so the transfer to Mexico starts the moment you confirm — the right call when your family in Mexico City, Guadalajara, or Monterrey needs money the same day.

15 Minutes
Interac e-Transfer

Send the e-Transfer through your banking app the way you would to any contact, and once it arrives on our end, it's applied to your transfer and dispatched toward Mexico within minutes.

1 Business day
Bill Payment

Pay through your bank's online portal or at a branch — a one-business-day method well suited to planned, recurring transfers to Mexico, where eliminating the fee matters more than same-day speed.

1-2 Business day
EFT

Link your Canadian bank account and let the funds pull automatically, which makes EFT the most hands-off method for anyone sending to Mexico on a regular schedule — especially for families covering rent, groceries, utilities, or school fees back home.

Instant
Visa debit (online)

Enter your card details via the app or web, and the payment clears as a card transaction rather than a bank pull, locking in funds on the spot so the transfer to Mexico starts without waiting on your bank's processing cycle.

Instant
Pre-loaded CAD balance

Top up your CAD balance ahead of time, and every future transfer to Mexico fires the moment you confirm — no funding lag, no bank dependency, and no processing queue between you and the send.

Frictionless transfers

Best rate to send money to Mexico

The CAD to MXN mid-market rate is around 12.5 to 12.9 pesos per Canadian dollar, but it can shift by a quarter due to Banco de México policy, US economic conditions, and oil prices. How many pesos your family receives depends on both the timing of your transfer and the exchange margin your provider applies.

Canadian banks often add a 3-4% spread to CAD-to-MXN conversions, usually without listing it as a separate fee. A dedicated transfer service with a 0.3-0.5% margin can deliver more MXN for the same CAD amount. On a $1,000 transfer, that difference can mean about 300 to 400 extra pesos reaching a BBVA or Santander account, or being collected in cash at Walmart, 7-Eleven, or another pickup location.

Rate alerts help you track CAD-to-MXN rates and send notifications when the rate moves in your favour, which is especially useful for monthly transfers, where small improvements add up over the year.

Benefit icon 10 0a0a723eb6
No surprises at checkout
