Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Congo, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.
TapTap Send was the cheapest on 4 of the 29 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Congo.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send 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, credit card, and bank transfer.
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.

Our analysis shows TapTap Send was the cheapest in 16% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 15% 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. 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 XAF 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 XAF on every transfer from UK.
Right now, TapTap Send pays 4,698,000 XAF on 6,000 GBP, which is 4,067.75 XAF 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 Congo.
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 XAF, but it was the cheapest in only 15% of the 185 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 3% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Congo.
If it's a one-off transfer, go with TapTap Send, since it's the cheapest right now.
There are many ways to send money to Congo from the UK, including app, online, in person, SNPL, and digital wallet, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Congo, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0.09% markup, lets you save recipient details, and XAF will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 14% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized XAF transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 6 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you FCFA4,608,841.8 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 1 of the 27 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like TorFX or Key Currency, are the best for sending large amounts (£10k+) to Congo.
They charge no fees but add a percentage on top of the GBP/XAF interbank rate (which gets better the more you send).
We suggest to compare your options.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Congo, but is usually a bit more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Congo will be able to collect FCFA4,608,841.8 in minutes.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 96% of days in the past month.

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.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Congo such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Congo:
Cheapest way to send money to Congo
The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via mobile money. You will get FCFA4,698,000, which is 1.9% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Congo
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile money for pay out. You get FCFA4,698,000 and it will arrive in 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/XAF 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 4,698,000 XAF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.09% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you FCFA0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Congo.
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.
