Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Gabon, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.
Xe was the cheapest on 3 of the 27 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Gabon.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Xe delivers the most XAF.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/XAF rate.
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.
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 Gabon 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 Xe was the cheapest in 5% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 25% 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. 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 XAF 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 XAF on every transfer from UK.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 4,692,546.75 XAF.
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 Gabon.
We've tracked 196 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 Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most XAF, but it was the cheapest in only 25% of the 153 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 1% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Gabon.
If it's a one-off transfer, go with Xe, since it's the cheapest right now.
There are many ways to send money to Gabon from the UK, including app, online, broker, and in person, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Gabon, say weekly or monthly, an app like Xe is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has % markup, lets you save recipient details, and XAF will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized XAF transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Xe often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 4 companies we compared, Xe is the cheapest online service and will get you FCFA4,662,348 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 27 of the 27 days it quoted.
For large transfers
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 Gabon, and 24/7 support.
Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds % markup on top of the current GBP/XAF rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 5% 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 Gabon, but is usually a bit more expensive.

Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 96% of days in the past month.

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

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Gabon such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Gabon:
Cheapest way to send money to Gabon
The cheapest way is to use Xe, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get FCFA4,662,348, which is 1.1% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Gabon
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile money for pay out. You get FCFA4,611,000 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/XAF 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 Xe will get you 4,662,348 XAF, that’s including £0 fee and % in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you FCFA0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Gabon.
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.
