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 XCD per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of XCD on every transfer from UK.
Right now, Regency FX pays 21,498.53 XCD on 6,000 GBP, which is 58.2 XCD less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 21,685.05 XCD.
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 Antigua and Barbuda.
We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

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.
MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 21% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Antigua and Barbuda.
There are many ways to send money to Antigua and Barbuda from the UK, including app, broker, online, in person, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Antigua and Barbuda, say weekly or monthly, an app like MoneyGram is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £4.99 in fees, has 1.97% markup, lets you save recipient details, and XCD will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, MoneyGram was the cheapest app on 81% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized XCD transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 4 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you EC$21,136.8 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 22 of the 27 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 Antigua and Barbuda, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/XCD rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Antigua and Barbuda such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Antigua and Barbuda:
Cheapest way to send money to Antigua and Barbuda
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get EC$21,498.53, which is 1.68% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Antigua and Barbuda
The fastest way is to use Revolut via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get EC$20,762.33 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/XCD 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 21,498.53 XCD, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you EC$0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

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.
