For large transfers

You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Somalia, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/SOS rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Somalia, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

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/SOS 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 S4,539,765.08 with Regency FX will get you 4,539,765.08 SOS, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you S0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

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.
