Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Brunei, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.
MoneyGram was the cheapest on 1 of the 28 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Brunei.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most BND.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/BND rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, 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.
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.
How much GBP you send to Brunei heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.
Our analysis shows MoneyGram was the cheapest in 4% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 2% of all the transfers it quoted.

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 BND 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 BND on every transfer from UK.
Right now, MoneyGram pays 9,999.6 BND on 6,000 GBP, which is 238.03 BND less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 10,251.39 BND.
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.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Brunei.
We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.
Cheapest every time
Cheapest in 6% of them

Based on 49 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 7 days.

Based on 445 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 90 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).

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Brunei such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Brunei:
Cheapest way to send money to Brunei
The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via cash pickup. You will get B$9,999.6, which is 0.07% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Brunei
The fastest way is to use Remitly via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get B$10,073.4 and it will arrive in within an hour.
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/BND 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.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with MoneyGram will get you 9,999.6 BND, that’s including £4.99 fee and 2.35% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you B$0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Brunei.
And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.
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.
