The Cheapest Way to Send Money Abroad from the UK

Sending money abroad doesn't have to be expensive. Here's how to find the cheapest option for your specific corridor.

Compare Total Cost, Not Just Fees

A "fee-free" service with a 2% exchange rate markup costs more than a £1.50 fee with a 0.4% margin on any transfer over £100.

Tips

• Use dedicated remittance services instead of banks (save 3-5%)
• Pay via bank transfer instead of card
• Send larger amounts less frequently
• Compare at least 3 providers before each transfer
