Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Mauritius, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Currencies Direct.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Currencies Direct delivers the most MUR.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/MUR 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 £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
How much GBP you send to Mauritius 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.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Mauritius such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Mauritius:
Cheapest way to send money to Mauritius
The cheapest way is to use Currencies Direct, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get ₨384,516, which is 1.24% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Mauritius
The fastest way is to use Revolut via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get ₨363,824.58 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/MUR 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 ₨384,516 with Currencies Direct will get you 384,516 MUR, that’s including £0 fee and -1.79% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like NatWest on the other hand, will get you ₨362,381.86, that’s £0 in fees but 4.13% in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Mauritius.
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.
For more information, check our guide to money transfer regulations in the UK.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much MUR you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Mauritius Rupee.
