How to send money from UK to Syria

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Syria, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.

MoneyGram was the cheapest on 0 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Syria.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most SYP.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/SYP rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually the fastest, since most companies connect to your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On a £6,000 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

GBP/SYP Exchange Rate History

Is today a good time to send money from UK to Syria?

The cheapest way to send GBP to SYP can change every day, or stay with the same company all month.

We've compared the mid-market rate with the cheapest option each day (today it's MoneyGram), across 30 days of comparisons for 6,000 GBP transfers to Syria.

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 SYP 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 SYP on every transfer from the UK.

Right now, MoneyGram pays 957,298.80 SYP on 6,000 GBP, which is 104,018,174.50 SYP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 104,888,923.40 SYP.

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.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Syria.

We've tracked 209 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

Regency FXAppeared in 118 comparisons
Cheapest every time
MoneyGramAppeared in 179 comparisons
Cheapest in 50% of them

Based on 209 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 30 days.

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 MoneyGram is the cheapest and gets you the most SYP, and it was also the cheapest in 50% of the 179 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Syria.

Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in 100% of its comparisons, so if you send money to Syria regularly, it's worth comparing it with MoneyGram before each transfer.

Ways to send money from the UK to Syria

There are many ways to send money to Syria from the UK, including currency broker, online, app, and in person, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Syria, say weekly or monthly, an app like MoneyGram is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £4.99 in fees, has 196.39% markup, lets you save recipient details, and SYP will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, MoneyGram was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized SYP transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of the 2 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you S£957,298.80 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

For large transfers

Brokers

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 Syria, and real human support.

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/SYP rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

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

Ways to fund GBP and receive SYP in Syria

Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much SYP 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 Syria is via MoneyGram, using a debit card to deposit GBP and cash pickup to receive SYP.

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Syria, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.

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.

Receiving money in Syria

Money can reach Syria by bank deposit and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

The cheapest way to receive money in Syria is with bank deposit on average.

Receiving cash

MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you S£957,298.80 on a £6,000 transfer).

Digital wallets

Your recipient can receive SYP directly into a digital wallet (like PayPal or similar) which usually takes a few minutes to arrive.

Consider this when sending GBP to Syria

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Syria such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/SYP transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Syria:

Cheapest way to send money to Syria

The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via cash pickup. You will get S£957,298.80, which is -10,836.19% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Syria

The fastest way is to use MoneyGram via debit card deposit and cash pickup for pay out. You get S£957,298.80 and it will arrive in minutes - 24 hours.

UK transfer limits

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/SYP 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.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending £6,000 with MoneyGram will get you 957,298.80 SYP, that’s including £4.99 fee and 196.39% in exchange rate markup.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Syria.

And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.

Staying safe when sending abroad

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.
