Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Seychelles, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most SCR.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/SCR 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 £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
There are many ways to send money to Seychelles from the UK, including online, app, broker, in person, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Seychelles, say weekly or monthly, an app like MoneyGram is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £4.99 in fees, has -4.64% markup, lets you save recipient details, and SCR will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized SCR transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, MoneyGram is the cheapest and will get you ₨116,942.4 on £6,000 transfer.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Regency FX 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 Seychelles, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/SCR 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 Seychelles, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Seychelles will be able to collect ₨116,942.4 in minutes.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Seychelles Rupee abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to SCR will get you ₨112,859.33 after fees.
If you don’t have SCR in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Seychelles.
Once you have SCR in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Seychelles, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much SCR your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Seychelles is via MoneyGram, using a debit card to deposit GBP and cash pickup to receive SCR.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Seychelles, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.
The cheapest pay-in option is debit card.
The fastest option in the UK is almost always bank transfer, since most companies use Open Banking and Faster Payments System (FPS).
The most expensive deposit option is bank transfer.
Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.
Money can reach Seychelles by bank deposit and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Seychelles such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Seychelles:
Cheapest way to send money to Seychelles
The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via cash pickup. You will get ₨116,942.4, which is 3.49% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Seychelles
The fastest way is to use MoneyGram via debit card deposit and cash pickup for pay out. You get ₨116,942.4 and it will arrive in minutes - 24 hours.
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/SCR 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 ₨116,942.4 with MoneyGram will get you 116,942.4 SCR, that’s including £4.99 fee and -4.64% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you ₨0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Seychelles.
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 SCR you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Seychelles Rupee.
Mid-market rate:1 GBP = 18.574365 SCR
