How to send money from UK to Brazil

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Brazil, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.

TapTap Send was the cheapest on 14 of the 25 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Brazil.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most BRL.

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

Fund your transfer

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

Paying from your bank is usually the fastest, since most companies connect to 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 the verification is 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 BRL 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 3 of the last 30 days.

Right now, TapTap Send pays 44,400 BRL on 6,000 GBP, which is 97.91 BRL less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout is the highest in the past month.

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 Brazil.

We've tracked 209 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. TapTap SendAppeared in 193 comparisons

    Cheapest in 33% of them

  2. Regency FXAppeared in 105 comparisons

    Cheapest in 49% of them

  3. OFXAppeared in 188 comparisons

    Cheapest in 2% of them

Based on 209 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 TapTap Send is the cheapest and gets you the most BRL, but it was the cheapest in only 33% of the 193 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 49% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Brazil.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with TapTap Send, since it's the cheapest right now.

Ways to send money from the UK to Brazil

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

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

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

It charges £2.99 in fees, has 0.22% markup, lets you save recipient details, and BRL will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 68% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized BRL transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

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

Of the 8 companies we compared, Wise is the cheapest online service and will get you R$44,145.28 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 21 of the 29 days it quoted.

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 Brazil, and real human support.

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

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

Consider this when sending GBP to Brazil

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

Compare GBP/BRL transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Brazil

The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via pix. You will get R$44,400, which is 0.05% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Brazil

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get R$43,705.90 and it will arrive in within minutes.

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/BRL 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 TapTap Send will get you 44,400 BRL, that’s including £2.99 fee and 0.22% in exchange rate markup.

Taxes on money transfers

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

And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.

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.
