Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Albania, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
Regency FX was the cheapest on 6 of the 24 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Albania.
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 a £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of 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.
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest in 11% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 11% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more ALL per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 18 of the last 30 days.
Right now, Regency FX pays 649,110.13 ALL on 6,000 GBP, which is 1,757.34 ALL less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 63,693,349 ALL.
If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Albania.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
Xe (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 4% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Albania.
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 1.72% markup, lets you save recipient details, and ALL will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 19% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
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 the 5 companies we compared, Xe is the cheapest online service and will get you Lek639,781.2 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 24 of the 26 days it quoted.
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 .
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Albania, but is usually a bit more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Albania will be able to collect Lek638,343 in minutes.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.
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 Lek63,571,716 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).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
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.

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 a £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 Lek649,110.13, which is 1.44% 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 Lek63,571,716 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.
These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with Regency FX will get you 649,110.13 ALL, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you Lek0, 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.
