Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Albania, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most ALL.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/ALL rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
Paying from your bank is usually both cheapest and quickest, since most companies connect straight into your banking app via Open Banking.
Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.
First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.
On £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
How much GBP you send to Albania 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 many ways to send money to Albania from the UK, including app, online, multi-currency account, global account, broker, and in person, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Albania, say weekly or monthly, an app like Xe is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 1.93% markup, lets you save recipient details, and ALL will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized ALL transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Xe often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, Xe is the cheapest and will get you L629,709 on £6,000 transfer.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Regency FX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).
You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Albania, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/ALL rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Albania, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Albania will be able to collect L628,104.6 in minutes.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Lek abroad like a local.
Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to ALL will get you L62,811,455 after fees.
If you don’t have ALL in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Albania.
Once you have ALL in the account, there are no extra fees from Revolut for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Albania, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much ALL your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Albania is via Regency FX, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive ALL.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Albania, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is debit card.
The fastest option in the UK is almost always bank transfer, since most companies use Open Banking and Faster Payments System (FPS).
The most expensive deposit option is credit card.
Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.
Money can reach Albania by bank deposit, cash pickup, card deposit, and mobile wallet, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Albania is with bank deposit on average.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Albania such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Albania:
Cheapest way to send money to Albania
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get L640,278.17, which is 1.65% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Albania
The fastest way is to use Revolut via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get L62,811,455 and it will arrive in within minutes.
There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.
Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).
Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.
And on bigger GBP/ALL transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.
That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending L640,278.17 with Regency FX will get you 640,278.17 ALL, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you L0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Albania.
And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.
Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.
The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.
Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.
For more information, check our guide to money transfer regulations in the UK.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much ALL you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Lek.
