Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Egypt, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
Regency FX was the cheapest on 14 of the 24 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Egypt.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most EGP.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/EGP rate.
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.
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.
How much GBP you send to Egypt heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest in 54% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 54% of all the transfers it quoted.

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 EGP 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 5 of the last 30 days.
Right now, Regency FX pays 446,898.69 EGP on 6,000 GBP, which is 1,209.89 EGP less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 450,000 EGP.
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.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Egypt.
We've tracked 195 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

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 31% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Egypt.
There are many ways to send money to Egypt from the UK, including app, broker, online, multi-currency account, global account, in person, and bank, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Egypt, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0.29% markup, lets you save recipient details, and EGP will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 88% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized EGP transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 8 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you E£444,887.4 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 5 of the 25 days it quoted.
For large transfers
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 Egypt, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/EGP rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 99% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Egypt, but is usually a bit more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Egypt will be able to collect E£444,887.4 in minutes.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 88% of days in the past month.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Egyptian Pounds abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to EGP will get you E£444,103.94 after fees.
If you don’t have EGP in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Egypt.
Once you have EGP 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 are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Egypt, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Only if you have to
Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Egypt.
On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Nationwide Bank will add 3.13% markup, getting you E£433,215.45 vs E£446,898.69 with Regency FX.
We found Nationwide Bank was the cheapest bank on 24 of the 24 days it appeared for this amount.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much EGP your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.
Our data shows that Regency FX gets your recipient 13,683.24 EGP more than Nationwide Bank, today's cheapest bank, on the same £6,000.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Egypt is via Regency FX, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive EGP.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Egypt, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is debit card.
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.

Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you E£444,887.4 on a £6,000 transfer).

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Egypt such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Egypt:
Cheapest way to send money to Egypt
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get E£446,898.69, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Egypt
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile wallet for pay out. You get E£446,820 and it will arrive in minutes.
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/EGP 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.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with Regency FX will get you 446,898.69 EGP, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like Nationwide Bank on the other hand, will get you E£433,215.45, that’s £15 in fees but 3.13% in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Egypt.
And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.
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.
