How to send money from UK to Guinea
Pick a company
For a one-off GBP transfer to Guinea, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.
TapTap Send was the cheapest on 27 of the 27 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Guinea.
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 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 GNF 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 18 of the last 30 days.
Right now, TapTap Send pays 76,500,000 GNF on 6,000 GBP, which is 5,776,924.99 GNF more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).
Today's payout is the highest in the past month.
If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

Consider this when sending GBP to Guinea

1
Compare GBP/GNF transfer options

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 GFr76,500,000, which is 6.27% more than the next best option.

2
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.
These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.
3
The transfer costs involved
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending £6,000 with TapTap Send will get you 76,500,000 GNF, that’s including £0 fee and -7.85% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you GFr0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
4
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.
5
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.
