How to send money from UK to Kyrgyzstan

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Kyrgyzstan, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TransferGo.

TransferGo was the cheapest on 13 of the 18 days it quoted £1,500 transfers to Kyrgyzstan.

On a 1,500 GBP transfer, TransferGo delivers the most KGS.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/KGS rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 4 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and paypal.

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 £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £1,500, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £1,500 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 KGS 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 KGS on every transfer from UK.

Right now, TransferGo pays 173,203.21 KGS on 1,500 GBP, which is 1,131.5 KGS less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 174,697.8 KGS.

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.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Kyrgyzstan.

We've tracked 226 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

  1. TransferGoAppeared in 112 comparisons

    Cheapest in 56% of them

  2. RevolutAppeared in 208 comparisons

    Cheapest in 10% of them

  3. WiseAppeared in 221 comparisons

    Cheapest in 1% of them

Based on 226 comparisons across 8 amounts over the last 30 days.

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 TransferGo is the cheapest and gets you the most KGS, and it was also the cheapest in 56% of the 112 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Kyrgyzstan.

Ways to send money from the UK to Kyrgyzstan

There are many ways to send money to Kyrgyzstan from the UK, including app, online, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Kyrgyzstan, say weekly or monthly, an app like TransferGo is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £0 in fees, has 0.65% markup, lets you save recipient details, and KGS will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, TransferGo was the cheapest app on 72% of the days it appeared for £1,500 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized KGS transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

Online companies like TransferGo often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of the 5 companies we compared, TransferGo is the cheapest online service and will get you сом173,203.21 on a £1,500 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 13 of the 18 days it quoted.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like TorFX or Key Currency, are the best for sending large amounts (£10k+) to Kyrgyzstan.

They charge no fees but add a percentage on top of the GBP/KGS interbank rate (which gets better the more you send).

We suggest to compare your options.

For fast money transfers

Cash transfer

Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Kyrgyzstan, but is usually a bit more expensive.

You will need to deposit £1,500 online via Western Union, and your recipient in Kyrgyzstan will be able to collect сом157,427.19 in minutes.

Our data shows Western Union came out cheapest among in-person options on 53% of days in the past month.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Som abroad like a local.

Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £1,500 to KGS will get you сом171,187.96 after fees.

If you don’t have KGS in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Kyrgyzstan.

Once you have KGS in the account, there are no extra fees from Revolut 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

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

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

Ways to fund GBP and receive KGS in Kyrgyzstan

Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much KGS your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.

Depositing GBP

Consider this when sending GBP to Kyrgyzstan

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

Compare GBP/KGS transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £1,500 transfer to Kyrgyzstan:

Cheapest way to send money to Kyrgyzstan

The cheapest way is to use TransferGo, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get сом173,203.21, which is 99.01% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Kyrgyzstan

The fastest way is to use Revolut via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get сом171,187.96 and it will arrive in within minutes.

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/KGS 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.

The transfer costs involved

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

For example, sending £1,500 with TransferGo will get you 173,203.21 KGS, that’s including £0 fee and 0.65% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you сом0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
