How to send money from UK to Eritrea

Pick a company

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

Regency FX was the cheapest on 25 of the 25 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Eritrea.

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

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

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to pay, including bank transfer.

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/ERN Exchange Rate History

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

The cheapest way to send GBP to ERN 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 Eritrea.

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 ERN 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 ERN on every transfer from UK.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 120,350.77 ERN.

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.

Consider this when sending GBP to Eritrea

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

Compare GBP/ERN transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Eritrea

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get Nkf0, which is 0% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Eritrea

The fastest way is to use Regency FX via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get Nkf0 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/ERN 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 0 ERN, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you Nkf0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
