Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Hong Kong, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.
Key Currency was the cheapest on 25 of the 28 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Hong Kong.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Key Currency delivers the most HKD.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/HKD rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, 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 Hong Kong 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 Key Currency was the cheapest in 91% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 91% 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. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.
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 HKD 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 HKD on every transfer from UK.
Right now, Key Currency pays 62,419.5 HKD on 6,000 GBP, which is 156.44 HKD less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 63,045 HKD.
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 Hong Kong.
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 Key Currency is the cheapest and gets you the most HKD, and it was also the cheapest in 91% of the 98 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Hong Kong.
Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Hong Kong.
There are many ways to send money to Hong Kong from the UK, including broker, online, app, multi-currency account, global account, in person, and bank, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Hong Kong, say weekly or monthly, an app like Wise is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £22.2 in fees, has 0% markup, lets you save recipient details, and HKD will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, Wise was the cheapest app on 97% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized HKD transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 11 companies we compared, Wise is the cheapest online service and will get you HK$62,344.27 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 29 of the 30 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Key Currency 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 Hong Kong, and 24/7 support.
Key Currency charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.25% markup on top of the current GBP/HKD rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 100% 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 Hong Kong, but is usually a bit more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Hong Kong will be able to collect HK$61,354.8 in minutes.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 96% of days in the past month.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Hong Kong Dollars abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to HKD will get you HK$62,344.27 after fees.
If you don’t have HKD in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Hong Kong.
Once you have HKD in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Hong Kong, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Only if you have to
Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Hong Kong.
On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Barclays will add 2.71% markup, getting you HK$60,903.19 vs HK$62,419.5 with Key Currency.
We found Barclays was the cheapest bank on 25 of the 26 days it appeared for this amount.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much HKD your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.
Our data shows that Key Currency gets your recipient 1,516.31 HKD more than Barclays, today's cheapest bank, on the same £6,000.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Hong Kong is via Key Currency, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive HKD.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Hong Kong, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.
The fastest option in the UK is almost always bank transfer, since most companies use Open Banking and Faster Payments System (FPS).
The most expensive deposit option is credit card.
Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.
Money can reach Hong Kong by bank deposit and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Hong Kong is with bank deposit on average.
Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you HK$61,354.8 on a £6,000 transfer).

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Hong Kong such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Hong Kong:
Cheapest way to send money to Hong Kong
The cheapest way is to use Key Currency, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get HK$62,419.5, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Hong Kong
The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get HK$61,943.14 and it will arrive in within 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/HKD 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 Key Currency will get you 62,419.5 HKD, that’s including £0 fee and 0.25% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you HK$60,903.19, that’s £0 in fees but 2.71% in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Hong Kong.
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.
