How to send money from UK to Guinea

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Guinea, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most GNF.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/GNF 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 £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

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

Consider this when sending GBP to Guinea

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

Compare GBP/GNF transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Guinea

The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via cash pickup. You will get GFr73,800,000, which is 5.35% more than the next best option.

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/GNF transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending GFr73,800,000 with TapTap Send will get you 73,800,000 GNF, that’s including £0 fee and -5.23% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you GFr0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
