How to transfer money from abroad to the UK
The UK may be a small set of islands, but it’s filled with hundreds of different nationalities and cultures, making it one of the most diverse places on Earth!
Equally, British people have travelled far and wide, and you can find British expats living in nearly every corner of the globe.
If you want to send money from abroad to the UK, you probably want to find the cheapest way to send money to the UK, so that you don’t waste money on high fees and poor exchange rates.
However, sending money to a UK bank account or card account might be trickier than you think, because often foreign banks are poor at communicating with each other, which makes the process long, confusing and expensive for customers.
How can I save money when transferring money from abroad to the UK?
You should always check the fees before you commit to sending money to the UK with any provider. Fees should always be transparent, and you need to pay attention to:
- Transfer fees
- Exchange rates
- Hidden fees
Hidden fees might include things like extra charges from the receiving bank, or inaccurate exchange rates that are added as fees for the foreign exchange provider.
