How to spend money in Slovakia
Slovakia is card-friendly in cities like Bratislava, but cash is still important in rural areas. Markets and small businesses often prefer notes and coins. Contactless payments are expanding. 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 Slovakia
ATMs common: best way to get euros.
Cash essential in rural areas: not all businesses take cards.
Avoid airports: poor exchange rates.
Budget tip: carry a mix of card and cash.
With TransferGo, you can send euros directly to Slovakia or pay with your GoCard without extra fees.

Consistently amazing customer support throughout the years, this time with Ugne M.
I’ve been using their service for over…
I’ve been using their service for over 6 years, back when not many people even knew about them. They are reliable and trustworthy. I’ve never had a moment where I felt like I shouldn’t trust them with my money. Customer service is fast and reliable too. Of course, there are a few bad apples sometimes, but KLAUDIA is an angel. She responds almost immediately, always respectfully, understands customers’ complaints, and genuinely tries her best to solve problems. They’re really lucky to have her there. PS: Dear TRANSFERGO, I’ve probably gone through at least 100 verifications over the years.Please stop reviewing almost every single transfer.And as a loyal customer,I still don’t have my card yet(Not a complaint,but it doesn’t feel very fair)
A really cool app
A really cool app, money transfers are super fast. Thanks to the TransferGo team.
