How to send money from UK to Paraguay

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Paraguay, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.

Regency FX was the cheapest on 28 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Paraguay.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most PYG.

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

Fund your transfer

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.

Verify and send

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.

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 PYG 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 PYG on every transfer from UK.

Right now, Regency FX pays 46,368,690.54 PYG on 6,000 GBP, which is 125,534.41 PYG less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 46,686,458.5 PYG.

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.

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 Paraguay.

We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 106 comparisons

    Cheapest in 93% of them

  2. MoneyGramAppeared in 165 comparisons

    Cheapest in 25% of them

  3. XeAppeared in 161 comparisons

    Cheapest in 7% of them

Based on 196 comparisons across 7 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 Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most PYG, and it was also the cheapest in 93% of the 106 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 25% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Paraguay.

Consider this when sending GBP to Paraguay

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

Compare GBP/PYG transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Paraguay:

Cheapest way to send money to Paraguay

The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get Gs46,368,690.54, which is 0.88% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Paraguay

The fastest way is to use Revolut via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get Gs45,014,828 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/PYG 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 £6,000 with Regency FX will get you 46,368,690.54 PYG, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you Gs0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.
