How to send money from UK to Bolivia

Pick a company

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

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX 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 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 £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

Ways to send money from the UK to Bolivia

There are many ways to send money to Bolivia from the UK, including app, online, broker, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Bolivia, say weekly or monthly, an app like Xe is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £0 in fees, has 2.72% markup, lets you save recipient details, and BOB will arrive in minutes.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized BOB 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 Bs.94,851 on £6,000 transfer.

For large transfers

Brokers

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 Bolivia, and 24/7 support.

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/BOB rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Boliviano abroad like a local.

Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to BOB will get you Bs.94,280.92 after fees.

If you don’t have BOB in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Bolivia.

Once you have BOB 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

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Bolivia, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Ways to fund GBP and receive BOB in Bolivia

Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much BOB 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 Bolivia is via Regency FX, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive BOB.

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Bolivia, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.

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.

Receiving money in Bolivia

Money can reach Bolivia by bank deposit, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

The cheapest way to receive money in Bolivia is with bank deposit on average.

Digital wallets

Your recipient can receive BOB directly into a digital wallet (like PayPal) which usually takes a few minutes to arrive.

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 £6,000 transfer to Bolivia:

Cheapest way to send money to Bolivia

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get Bs.97,204.51, which is 2.42% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Bolivia

The fastest way is to use Regency FX via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get Bs.97,204.51 and it will arrive in minutes - 24 hours.

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.

That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.

The transfer costs involved

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

For example, sending Bs.97,204.51 with Regency FX will get you 97,204.51 BOB, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% 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.
