How to spend money in Finland
Finland is a low-cash economy. Cards, contactless payments, and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are accepted everywhere—even for small purchases like bus tickets or coffee. Cash is rarely needed. Tip: Always choose to pay in local currency (EUR) to avoid extra conversion charges. With TransferGo, you can spend confidently and save on hidden bank fees.
Tips for exchanging money in Finland
ATMs available: but cash withdrawals are uncommon.
Cards and mobile wallets are king.
Avoid exchange kiosks: poor value.
Budget tip: Finland is one of the least cash-dependent eurozone countries.
With TransferGo, you can send euros to Finland or use your GoCard for seamless, cashless spending.

I’ve been using TransferGo for several months now and I’ve had a really good experience. I regularly use it to send money to friends and family, and so far the service has been fast, reliable and very easy to use. The exchange rates are also very competitive, and I really like how quickly the transfers are processed. The app itself is simple and convenient, and the service has been reliable whenever I’ve needed it. Overall, I’m very happy with TransferGo and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable money transfer service. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Professional Support and a Successful Resolution
My transfer was stuck in “processing” due to an error in my personal details. After contacting customer support, I received assistance and the issue was resolved. The money has now arrived. I’m grateful for the professional approach and quick response in resolving the problem. Thank you, TransferGo!
Usual work with Transfergo

I have used TransferGo around 250 times over a period of about 10 years. I had to contact customer support only three times, and that was solely for verification purposes. So far, they have never let me down. They offer many payment options, and the money is always fully under control. It is a real pleasure working with this company, especially considering I have been using them for over a decade, very few services can boast such stability and reliability. A sincere thank you to everyone on the TransferGo team!

It's really fast and secure.
"TransferGo is the best and fastest way to send money to Nepal! I sent my salary home tonight using a manual bank transfer from Turkey. The app is incredibly easy to use, secure, and transparent. The funds dropped straight into the bank account within minutes, even after banking hours. I will definitely use it every month!"
