Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Congo, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Xe delivers the most XAF.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/XAF rate.
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.
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 Congo 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.

Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds % markup on top of the current GBP/XAF rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Congo, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Congo:
Cheapest way to send money to Congo
The cheapest way is to use Xe, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get FCFA4,550,394, which is 1.67% more than the next best option.

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/XAF 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 FCFA4,550,394 with Xe will get you 4,550,394 XAF, that’s including £0 fee and % in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you FCFA0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

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 XAF you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more CFA Franc BEAC.
