How to send money from UK to Cuba

Pick a company

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

Regency FX was the cheapest on 20 of the 20 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Cuba.

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

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

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to pay, including bank transfer.

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.

GBP/CUP Exchange Rate History

Is today a good time to send money from UK to Cuba?

The cheapest way to send GBP to CUP can change every day, or stay with the same company all month.

We've compared the mid-market rate with the cheapest option each day (today it's Regency FX), across 30 days of comparisons for 6,000 GBP transfers to Cuba.

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 CUP 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 CUP on every transfer from the UK.

Right now, Regency FX pays 192,748.61 CUP on 6,000 GBP, which is 521.83 CUP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 193,469.48 CUP.

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 Cuba.

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

Regency FXAppeared in 102 comparisons
Cheapest every time

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 Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Ways to send money from the UK to Cuba

There are many ways to send money to Cuba from the UK, including currency broker, and more.

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 Cuba, and real human support.

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

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

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

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

Consider this when sending GBP to Cuba

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

Compare GBP/CUP transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Cuba

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get $MN192,748.61, which is 0% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Cuba

The fastest way is to use Regency FX via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get $MN192,748.61 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/CUP 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 192,748.61 CUP, 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 Cuba.

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.
