Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Mauritania, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
Regency FX was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Mauritania.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most MRU.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/MRU 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 Mauritania 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 Regency FX was the cheapest in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 100% 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. 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 MRU 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 MRU on every transfer from UK.
Right now, Regency FX pays 320,184.26 MRU on 6,000 GBP, which is 866.84 MRU less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 321,814.65 MRU.
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 Mauritania.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Mauritania such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Mauritania:
Cheapest way to send money to Mauritania
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get UM320,184.26, which is 1.43% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Mauritania
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get UM315,600 and it will arrive in 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/MRU 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 Regency FX will get you 320,184.26 MRU, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you UM0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Mauritania.
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.
