Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

On £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

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.
That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.
3
The transfer costs involved
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending GFr74,400,000 with TapTap Send will get you 74,400,000 GNF, that’s including £0 fee and -4.19% 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.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much GNF you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Guine Franc.
