Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Rwanda, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
Regency FX was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Rwanda.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most RWF.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/RWF 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 a £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to Rwanda 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 Regency FX was the cheapest in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 100% 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 RWF 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 RWF on every transfer from UK.
Right now, Regency FX pays 11,795,321.09 RWF on 6,000 GBP, which is 31,933.59 RWF less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 11,858,221.28 RWF.
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.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Rwanda.

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 RWF, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 106 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Rwanda.
TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 31% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Rwanda.
There are many ways to send money to Rwanda from the UK, including app, online, broker, multi-currency account, global account, and in person, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Rwanda, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0.84% markup, lets you save recipient details, and RWF will arrive in minutes.

For one off transfers

Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 7 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you R₣11,596,865.4 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 12 of the 29 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Regency FX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/RWF rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Rwanda, but is usually a bit more expensive.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Rwanda such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Rwanda:
Cheapest way to send money to Rwanda
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get R₣11,795,321.09, which is 0.57% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Rwanda
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get R₣11,728,140 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/RWF 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 Regency FX will get you 11,795,321.09 RWF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you R₣0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Rwanda.
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.
