How to send money from UK to Mozambique
Pick a company
For a one-off transfer to Mozambique, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most MZN.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/MZN rate.
Fund your transfer
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.
Verify and send
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.
Ways to send money from the UK to Mozambique
There are many ways to send money to Mozambique from the UK, including app, online, broker, 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 Mozambique, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has -5.33% markup, lets you save recipient details, and MZN will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Online transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized MZN transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, Wise is the cheapest and will get you MT512,146.57 on £6,000 transfer.
For large transfers
Brokers
Currency brokers like Regency FX 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 Mozambique, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/MZN rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
For fast money transfers
Cash transfer
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Mozambique, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Mozambique will be able to collect MT506,931.6 in minutes.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Mozambique Metical abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to MZN will get you MT512,146.57 after fees.
If you don’t have MZN in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Mozambique.
Once you have MZN in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
For business transfers
Global accounts
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Mozambique, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

2
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/MZN 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.
3
The transfer costs involved
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending MT547,800 with TapTap Send will get you 547,800 MZN, that’s including £0 fee and -5.33% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you MT0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
4
Taxes on money transfers
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Mozambique.
And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.
5
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.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much MZN you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Mozambique Metical.
