How to send money from UK to Bolivia

Pick a company

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

MoneyGram was the cheapest on 11 of the 29 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Bolivia.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most BOB.

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

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and paypal.

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. 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 BOB 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 6 of the last 30 days.

Right now, MoneyGram pays 95,257.2 BOB on 6,000 GBP, which is 202.53 BOB more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 97,042.99 BOB.

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.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

    Never the cheapest

Based on 196 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).

We suggest to compare your options.

For fast money transfers

Consider this when sending GBP to Bolivia

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

Compare GBP/BOB transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Bolivia

The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get Bs.95,257.2, which is 1.1% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Bolivia

The fastest way is to use Remitly via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get Bs.90,754.8 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/BOB 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 MoneyGram will get you 95,257.2 BOB, that’s including £0.99 fee and -0.21% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you Bs.0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
