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.

Paysend is a money transfer company based in the UK which helps over 3 million people send money internationally. The UK is one of our top sending and receiving countries, and every day we process thousands of transactions to and from the UK.

What’s so great about Paysend?

When you send money with Paysend, it costs just £1, €1.5 or $2 to send money from abroad to the UK, no matter how much you want to send.

This means that if you’re sending €500 or €2000 from France to the UK, it will cost you just €1.5 either way. This means that your recipient will have even more money to spend in the UK.

Plus, with Paysend you can send money directly to your recipient’s Mastercard using just their name and card number - meaning you don’t need to bother with lots of complicated bank details.

Or if that’s not most convenient for you, you can send money to a UK bank account fee-free.

How much will my recipient in the UK receive?

When you transfer money from abroad to the UK, you can choose whether you want it to be received in GBP or EUR.

Paysend uses excellent, competitive exchange rates which means that your recipient will have even more money to spend in the UK.
