How to send money from UK to Djibouti

Pick a company

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

Regency FX was the cheapest on 22 of the 22 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Djibouti.

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

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

GBP/DJF Exchange Rate History

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

The cheapest way to send GBP to DJF 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 Djibouti.

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 DJF 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 DJF on every transfer from UK.

Right now, Regency FX pays 1,419,152.02 DJF on 6,000 GBP, which is 3,842.08 DJF less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,428,830.21 DJF.

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 Djibouti.

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

Regency FXAppeared in 90 comparisons
Cheapest every time
MoneyGramAppeared in 158 comparisons
Cheapest in 37% of them

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

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 37% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Djibouti.

Ways to send money from the UK to Djibouti

There are many ways to send money to Djibouti from the UK, including broker, online, app, and in person, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

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

It charges £4.99 in fees, has 2.41% markup, lets you save recipient details, and DJF will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, MoneyGram was the cheapest app on 93% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

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

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

Of the 2 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you Fdj1,389,072 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 25 of the 27 days it quoted.

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 Djibouti, and 24/7 support.

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/DJF 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 fast money transfers

Cash transfer

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

You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Djibouti will be able to collect Fdj1,389,072 in minutes.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 93% of days in the past month.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

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

Ways to fund GBP and receive DJF in Djibouti

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

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Djibouti, 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 bank transfer.

Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.

Receiving money in Djibouti

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

The cheapest way to receive money in Djibouti is with bank deposit on average.

Receiving cash

MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you Fdj1,389,072 on a £6,000 transfer).

Digital wallets

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

Consider this when sending GBP to Djibouti

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

Compare GBP/DJF transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Djibouti

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get Fdj1,419,152.02, which is 2.12% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Djibouti

The fastest way is to use Regency FX via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get Fdj1,419,152.02 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/DJF 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 1,419,152.02 DJF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you Fdj0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
