How to send money from UK to Dominican Republic

Pick a company

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

Regency FX was the cheapest on 17 of the 20 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Dominican Republic.

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

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

Fund your transfer

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.

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.

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 DOP 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 2 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Regency FX pays 488,760.84 DOP on 6,000 GBP, which is 1,323.23 DOP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 492,767.65 DOP.

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 Dominican Republic.

We've tracked 195 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 89 comparisons

    Cheapest in 93% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 184 comparisons

    Cheapest in 12% of them

  3. RevolutAppeared in 172 comparisons

    Cheapest in 9% of them

Based on 195 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.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 12% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Dominican Republic.

Consider this when sending GBP to Dominican Republic

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

Compare GBP/DOP transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Dominican Republic

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get RD$488,760.84, which is 1.79% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Dominican Republic

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get RD$477,507.25 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/DOP 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 488,760.84 DOP, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you RD$0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
