Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Tanzania, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.
TapTap Send was the cheapest on 6 of the 30 days it quoted £3,000 transfers to Tanzania.
On a 3,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most TZS.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/TZS 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 £3,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to Tanzania 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 TapTap Send was the cheapest in 12% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 17% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £3,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £3,000 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 TZS per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 3 of the last 30 days.
Right now, TapTap Send pays 10,560,000 TZS on 3,000 GBP, which is 13,045.02 TZS more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 10,574,171.99 TZS.
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.
If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Tanzania.
We've tracked 226 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 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 TZS, but it was the cheapest in only 17% of the 226 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
Western Union (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 43% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Tanzania.
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 Tanzania from the UK, including app, online, in person, broker, SNPL, digital wallet, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Tanzania, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has -0.12% markup, lets you save recipient details, and TZS will arrive in minutes.

For one off transfers

Of the 8 companies we compared, Western Union is the cheapest online service and will get you TSh10,488,438.54 on a £3,000 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
Currency brokers like OFX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).

OFX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.65% markup on top of the current GBP/TZS rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows OFX was the cheapest broker in 0% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Tanzania, but is usually a bit more expensive.

Our data shows Western Union came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.
For spending and receiving

For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Tanzania, 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 TZS your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Tanzania such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £3,000 transfer to Tanzania:
Cheapest way to send money to Tanzania
The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get TSh10,560,000, which is 0.68% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Tanzania
The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get TSh10,334,761.53 and it will arrive in within 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/TZS 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 £3,000 with TapTap Send will get you 10,560,000 TZS, that’s including £0 fee and -0.12% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you TSh0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Tanzania.
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.
