Sending money from the UK to India is a routine part of life for many people, from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) supporting family, to students and professionals managing expenses across borders. It is also one of the world’s largest remittance corridors, with a wide range of options available.

The best way to send money from the UK to India depends on three key factors: how quickly the money needs to arrive, how the recipient prefers to receive it – especially via UPI or bank transfer – and how predictable the final amount should be in Indian rupees (INR). During festive periods such as Diwali or Holi, speed and reliability often become more important than saving a small amount on fees.

This guide explains the main transfer methods, how costs and exchange rates work, and how to choose the most suitable option based on your needs.

Sending money internationally no longer needs to involve typing long card numbers, double-checking details or worrying about security on the go. With Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, you can fund your transfer in just a few taps using your mobile wallet, combining speed, convenience and an added layer of protection.

Paysend supports Apple Wallet and Google Wallet as funding methods for international transfers, helping reduce friction at checkout while maintaining strong security standards. In this guide, we explain how mobile wallets work, why they can be a safe alternative to manual card entry, and how to use them when sending money abroad.

Monzo has transformed everyday banking in the UK, offering a simple, app-first experience for spending, saving and budgeting. For many users, it’s become the go-to account for managing money in one place.

But when it comes to sending money abroad, the question is slightly different: is your everyday banking app always the most practical tool for international transfers?

The answer depends on what you need. Monzo international transfers are convenient and well-integrated, but they rely on external infrastructure and follow a bank-to-bank model. In some situations, especially where speed, payout flexibility or predictability matter, a specialised international money transfer platform may offer a more tailored solution.

Sending money to another person’s bank account, whether domestically or internationally online, is something many of us do regularly – whether it’s supporting family, paying shared expenses, reimbursing a friend, or covering rent.

But the phrase “bank transfer” can mean different things depending on how the money is actually sent. Today, funds can reach someone’s bank account through several different payment systems, including traditional bank wires, card-funded transfers, and modern digital payout networks.
