Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Macedonia, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Western Union.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, Western Union delivers the most MKD.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/MKD rate.
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.
First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.
On £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
There are many ways to send money to Macedonia from the UK, including app, online, in person, multi-currency account, global account, and broker, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Macedonia, say weekly or monthly, an app like Western Union is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 1.13% markup, lets you save recipient details, and MKD will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized MKD transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Western Union often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, Western Union is the cheapest and will get you ден106,231.28 on £1,500 transfer.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Xe 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 Macedonia, and 24/7 support.
Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 5.84% markup on top of the current GBP/MKD rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Macedonia, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £1,500 online via Western Union, and your recipient in Macedonia will be able to collect ден106,231.28 in minutes.

If you don’t have MKD in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Macedonia.
Once you have MKD in the account, there are no extra fees from Revolut for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

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

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

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/MKD 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.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending ден106,231.28 with Western Union will get you 106,231.28 MKD, that’s including £0 fee and 1.13% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you ден0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

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.

The exchange rate you secure impacts how much MKD you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Denar.
