How to send money from UK to Chile

Pick a company

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

Regency FX was the cheapest on 21 of the 24 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Chile.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most CLP.

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

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

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 CLP 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, Regency FX pays 7,801,256.74 CLP on 6,000 GBP, which is 21,120.42 CLP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 7,977,674.99 CLP.

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.

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 Chile.

We've tracked 207 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 105 comparisons

    Cheapest in 86% of them

  2. OFXAppeared in 185 comparisons

    Cheapest in 16% of them

  3. WiseAppeared in 198 comparisons

    Cheapest in 19% of them

Based on 207 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 Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most CLP, and it was also the cheapest in 86% of the 105 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Chile.

OFX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 16% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Chile.

Consider this when sending GBP to Chile

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

Compare GBP/CLP transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Chile

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get CLP$7,801,256.74, which is 0.23% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Chile

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get CLP$7,701,029 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/CLP 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 Regency FX will get you 7,801,256.74 CLP, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
