Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Portugal, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.
TapTap Send was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Portugal.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most EUR.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/EUR 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 Portugal 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 TapTap Send was the cheapest in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 98% 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. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.
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 EUR per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 10 of the last 30 days.
Right now, TapTap Send pays 7,164 EUR on 6,000 GBP, which is 5 EUR less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout is the highest in the past month.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Portugal.
We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

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 TapTap Send is the cheapest and gets you the most EUR, and it was also the cheapest in 98% of the 196 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Portugal.
Xe (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Portugal.
There are many ways to send money to Portugal from the UK, including broker, app, online, multi-currency account, global account, in person, and bank, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Portugal, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0.07% markup, lets you save recipient details, and EUR will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized EUR transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Xe often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 13 companies we compared, Xe is the cheapest online service and will get you €7,153.2 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 2 of the 30 days it quoted.
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 Portugal, and 24/7 support.
Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.22% markup on top of the current GBP/EUR rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 5% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Portugal, but is usually a bit more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Portugal will be able to collect €7,098 in minutes.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Euros abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to EUR will get you €7,144.25 after fees.
If you don’t have EUR in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Portugal.
Once you have EUR in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Portugal, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Only if you have to
Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Portugal.
On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Barclays will add 2.79% markup, getting you €6,971.46 vs €7,164 with TapTap Send.
We found Barclays was the cheapest bank on 30 of the 30 days it appeared for this amount.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much EUR your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Portugal such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Portugal:
Cheapest way to send money to Portugal
The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get €7,164, which is 0.15% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Portugal
The fastest way is to use Wise via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get €7,144.25 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/EUR 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 TapTap Send will get you 7,164 EUR, that’s including £0 fee and 0.07% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you €6,971.46, that’s £0 in fees but 2.79% in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Portugal.
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.
