How to send money from UK to Bermuda

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Bermuda, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Paysend.

Paysend was the cheapest on 3 of the 3 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Bermuda.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Paysend delivers the most BMD.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/BMD rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, 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.

Verify and send

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.

Compare amounts

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. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.

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 BMD 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 BMD on every transfer from UK.

Right now, Paysend pays 7,901.91 BMD on 6,000 GBP, which is 74.17 BMD less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 8,024.35 BMD.

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.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Bermuda.

We've tracked 195 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. PaysendAppeared in 36 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. RemitlyAppeared in 72 comparisons

    Cheapest in 58% of them

  3. TransferGoAppeared in 93 comparisons

    Cheapest in 10% of them

  4. NatWestAppeared in 139 comparisons

    Cheapest in 7% of them

Based on 195 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 30 days.

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 Paysend is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Ways to send money from the UK to Bermuda

There are many ways to send money to Bermuda from the UK, including online, app, in person, bank, SNPL, digital wallet, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Online companies like Paysend often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like TorFX or Key Currency, are the best for sending large amounts (£10k+) to Bermuda.

They charge no fees but add a percentage on top of the GBP/BMD interbank rate (which gets better the more you send).

We suggest to compare your options.

For fast money transfers

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

Consider this when sending GBP to Bermuda

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Bermuda such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/BMD transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Bermuda:

Cheapest way to send money to Bermuda

The cheapest way is to use Paysend, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get BD$7,901.91, which is 0.83% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Bermuda

The fastest way is to use Remitly via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get BD$7,836 and it will arrive in within an hour.

UK transfer limits

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/BMD 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.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending £6,000 with Paysend will get you 7,901.91 BMD, that’s including £0 fee and 0.93% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like NatWest on the other hand, will get you BD$7,773.91, that’s £0 in fees but 2.56% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Bermuda.

And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.

Staying safe when sending abroad

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.
