How to send money from UK to Brazil

Pick a company

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

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX 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 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.

Compare amounts

Ways to send money from the UK to Brazil

There are many ways to send money to Brazil from the UK, including app, broker, online, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, 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 0.36% markup, lets you save recipient details, and BRL will arrive in minutes.

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 1 online services, Wise is the cheapest and will get you R$40,821.05 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 Brazil, and 24/7 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 .

For fast money transfers

Cash transfer

Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Brazil, but is usually a bit more more expensive.

You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Brazil will be able to collect R$40,466.4 in minutes.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

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

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to BRL will get you R$40,821.05 after fees.

If you don’t have BRL in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Brazil.

Once you have BRL in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise 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 Brazil, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Ways to fund GBP and receive BRL in Brazil

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

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Brazil, 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 Brazil

Money can reach Brazil by bank deposit, pix, and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

The cheapest way to receive money in Brazil is with pix on average.

Receiving cash

MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup ( getting you R$40,466.4 on £6,000 transfer).

Digital wallets

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

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 £6,000 transfer to Brazil:

Cheapest way to send money to Brazil

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get R$41,135.62, which is 0.09% 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$40,113.57 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.

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 R$41,135.62 with Regency FX will get you 41,135.62 BRL, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you R$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 Brazil.

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.
