Transfer details
For a one-off transfer from Germany, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.
On a 7,000 EUR transfer, Key Currency delivers the most GBP.
This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best EUR/GBP rate.
You have 4 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.
First time round you'll need a photo ID and proof of your German address.
Video identification is also normal and takes a few minutes.
How much EUR you send to UK heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

There are 12 companies for sending money from Germany to United Kingdom, across broker, app, online, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more below.
Fastest and easiest way
Within the eurozone, SEPA covers all transfers, but outside, it gets very expensive and money transfer companies make it cheaper.
Sending €7,000 with MoneyGram to United Kingdom gets you 5,986.4 GBP with a €9.99 fee and 0.5% markup.
Debit cards (and Apple Pay / Google Pay) usually have instant deposits, but your girocard usually won't work as a funding method.
For paying in cash at a counter
There's no legal limit on how much you can send, so the counter in the kiosk, the callshop or the grocery store is still a popular way to send money internationally.
Deposit €7,000 to MoneyGram online, and choose cash pickup as delivery option. Once you pay, it should be available in minutes.
In general, online transfers are cheaper than sending cash to UK.
For large transfers from Germany
For buying property, moving to UK, or moving pensions, a currency broker is the best option.
A broker like Key Currency charges no fee and works on a margin. It adds 0.25% on EUR/GBP which gets negotiated the more you send.
And you get an account manager to help you through the process.
For some international payments above €50,000, German residents may need to file an AWV report with the Bundesbank, make sure to check in advance.
For making business payments
Global accounts are for businesses making payments to UK.
Be it overseas suppliers and contractors, receiving GBP payments, or holding GBP and EUR in one business account.
Companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Wise Business offer the best tools for international business transfers.
For spending & receiving
A multi-currency account lets you hold EUR and GBP in one account.
You get GBP bank details, and can receive international payments like rent, dividends, family payments without additional conversions.
You can convert GBP to EUR or EUR to GBP whenever you need.
The best multi currency account is Wise, it adds ~0.03% markup and charges small fees.
With Key Currency, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest way. Sending €7,000 gives your recipient 6,001.56 GBP.
You can pay for the transfer using bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and ideal.
Using German bank
A SEPA bank transfer is usually the cheapest way to deposit EUR.
An instant SEPA payment can reduce funding time, but it does not guarantee instant delivery to United Kingdom.
The recipient in United Kingdom can receive GBP by bank deposit, card deposit, and cash pickup.
To receive GBP by bank deposit
Enter the recipient's banking details and account holders name.
Check both before sending because correcting a bank deposit will delay the transfer.
They can receive cash in United Kingdom
For cash pickup, the recipient needs to visit the nearest MoneyGram branch and bring a valid photo ID and the transfer reference number.

The main question in Germany is whether you are sending euros inside SEPA or converting them. Large cross-border payments can also create a Bundesbank reporting duty.
For a €7,000 transfer to United Kingdom, these are the best options:
Cheapest way to send money to United Kingdom
The cheapest option is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 6,001.56 GBP, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to United Kingdom
The fastest option is Wise. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 5,985.87 GBP in innerhalb von minuten.
Germany's AWV reporting threshold is €50,000.
A German resident may need to report a payment above that amount to the Bundesbank when it is made to a non-resident.
It is a statistics report, not a tax or permission request.
Transfers between your own domestic and foreign accounts are exempt, and other exemptions apply depending on the payment purpose.
The automated AWV notice shown by a bank does not mean every transfer is reportable.
The Bundesbank guidance for private individuals explains who reports, what is exempt and how to file.
If the recipient has a euro account in the SEPA area, a normal SEPA payment can be the simplest option.
A payment converted into GBP sits outside that pricing rule and may involve another bank or payout partner.
Check whether the quote uses SHA, OUR or BEN charges on a bank transfer.
This decides whether intermediary costs are shared, paid by you or deducted from what the recipient receives.
The EUR/GBP rate can move noticeably within a week, changing the amount your recipient gets in GBP.
Mid-market rate:1 EUR = 0.857558 GBP
