How to send money from UK to Denmark

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Denmark, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.

Xe was the cheapest on 1 of the 24 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Denmark.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Xe delivers the most DKK.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/DKK 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 a £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Compare amounts

How much GBP are you sending to Denmark?

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. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.

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 DKK 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 DKK on every transfer from UK.

Right now, Xe pays 53,473.8 DKK on 6,000 GBP, which is 105.28 DKK less than the mid-market amount.

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

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 Denmark.

We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. XeAppeared in 157 comparisons

    Cheapest in 3% of them

  2. Key CurrencyAppeared in 94 comparisons

    Cheapest in 87% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 94 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  4. BarclaysAppeared in 161 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 196 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 Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most DKK, but it was the cheapest in only 3% of the 157 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

Ways to send money from the UK to Denmark

There are many ways to send money to Denmark from the UK, including broker, online, app, multi-currency account, global account, in person, and bank, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

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

It charges £0 in fees, has 0.2% markup, lets you save recipient details, and DKK will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 4% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

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

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

Of the 12 companies we compared, Xe is the cheapest online service and will get you kr53,473.8 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 1 of the 24 days it quoted.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like Xe 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 Denmark, and 24/7 support.

Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.2% markup on top of the current GBP/DKK rate.

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

Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 4% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

For fast money transfers

Cash transfer

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

You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Denmark will be able to collect kr52,522.2 in minutes.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 89% of days in the past month.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Danish Krones abroad like a local.

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to DKK will get you kr53,401.34 after fees.

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

Once you have DKK in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

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

Only if you have to

Banks

Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Denmark.

On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Barclays will add 2.78% markup, getting you kr52,112.59 vs kr53,473.8 with Xe.

We found Barclays was the cheapest bank on 26 of the 29 days it appeared for this amount.

Depositing GBP

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.

Consider this when sending GBP to Denmark

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

Compare GBP/DKK transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Denmark

The cheapest way is to use Xe, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get kr53,473.8, which is 0.05% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Denmark

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get kr53,044.11 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/DKK 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 Xe will get you 53,473.8 DKK, that’s including £0 fee and 0.2% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you kr52,112.59, that’s £0 in fees but 2.78% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.

How we analyse the market

We track 12 regulated companies offering money transfers from the UK to Denmark in real time.

We analyse the fees, exchange rates, deposit/withdrawal methods, and each goes through our internal review.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 196 comparisons across 7 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for GBP/DKK transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
