There are 6 ways to send money to United Kingdom across 4 money transfer companies.
For everyday transfers
For most transfers from Brazil to United Kingdom, money transfer companies like Revolut are the cheapest way.
You can fund an online transfer with bank transfer, pix, and debit card.
Revolut charges R$60 and adds 0.07% markup when sending R$40,000, this will get you 5,668 GBP in the United Kingdom.
For property and other large transfers
Brokers are best for large transfers, they will negotiate a better BRL/GBP rate, handle the paperwork, and guide you over the phone.
Regency FX converts BRL to GBP with an exchange-rate markup of around 0.27%.
I'd suggest , since the rate gets better the more you send.
For receiving cash in Portugal
If your recipient in United Kingdom needs cash, you can do it with MoneyGram.
Sending R$40,000 will get you £5,668 after the fees with MoneyGram.
You recipient will collect cash at the nearest MoneyGram branch in United Kingdom.
Holding AUD and other currencies
Revolut lets you hold, convert, and spend BRL and GBP from one account.
Swapping R$40,000 with Revolut will get you 5,815.91 GBP after all fees.
You can then spend it in United Kingdom or Brazil and receive GBP payments.
For freelancers & businesses
Global accounts like Airwallex, Wise Business, and Payoneer help with international GBP payments, invoicing, receiving payments, and more.
These are great for Brazilian businesses and freelancers, but not personal transfers.
With Revolut, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending R$40,000 gives your recipient 5,815.91 GBP.
For paying for your transfer, you have bank transfer, pix, and debit card.
You can fund the transfer with Pix
You can use Pix as a funding method, but it can’t send BRL to United Kingdom directly.
Scan the company's QR code or copy its Pix key, then approve R$40,000 in your Brazilian banking app.
For withdrawals in United Kingdom, they can get it as bank deposit and cash pickup.
IOF can apply when you convert and send BRL abroad, so double check the tax shown before you send.

Brazilian transfer quotes should show the tax, fee and exchange rate. The easiest way to compare them is through the VET, then check whether the payment is a transfer of your own money or a gift.
For a R$40,000 payment to the United Kingdom, I suggest starting with these:
Cheapest:
Revolut, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in United Kingdom. Your recipient gets 5,815.91 GBP, which is 0.06% more than the next best option.
Fastest:
Revolut, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 5,815.91 GBP in within minutes.
Pix can be used to deposit BRL from your bank to the transfer company's Brazilian account, but it cannot send money directly to United Kingdom.
The company then switches to local rails or uses an internal network of accounts to move BRL to United Kingdom.
Moving your own money and making a gift are not treated the same.
A gift may fall under ITCMD, which is set and collected by the relevant Brazilian state.
The rate, exemption and filing process depend on the state and the facts of the gift.
Check this before sending a large amount to family, particularly when the sender, recipient or estate has links to different states.
The Banco Central do Brasil says an authorised institution or its correspondent should explain the required documents and provide the VET.
If in doubt, check the institution's legal name with the Banco Central before sending.
Reclame Aqui can show service problems, but it does not replace the regulatory check.
The exchange rate affects the GBP amount before fees and tax are added. Tracking the recent BRL/GBP range makes company quotes easier to compare.
