How to send money from UK to Turkey

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Turkey, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.

Key Currency was the cheapest on 15 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Turkey.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Key Currency delivers the most TRY.

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

Compare amounts

How much GBP are you sending to Turkey?

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. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.

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 TRY 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 9 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Key Currency pays 404,554.13 TRY on 6,000 GBP, which is 1,013.92 TRY less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout is the highest in the past month.

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 Turkey.

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

  1. Key CurrencyAppeared in 119 comparisons

    Cheapest in 60% of them

  2. Regency FXAppeared in 119 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  3. WiseAppeared in 179 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

  4. BarclaysAppeared in 178 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

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 Key Currency is the cheapest and gets you the most TRY, and it was also the cheapest in 60% of the 119 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

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

Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Turkey.

Ways to send money from the UK to Turkey

There are many ways to send money to Turkey from the UK, including currency broker, app, online, multi-currency account, global business account, in person, and bank, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

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

It charges £21.54 in fees, has 0.01% markup, lets you save recipient details, and TRY will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, Wise was the cheapest app on 40% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

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

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

Of the 11 companies we compared, Wise is the cheapest online service and will get you ₺404,085.90 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 29 of the 30 days it quoted.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like Key Currency 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 Turkey, and real human support.

Key Currency charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.25% markup on top of the current GBP/TRY rate.

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

Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 99% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Turkish Liras abroad like a local.

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to TRY will get you ₺404,085.90 after fees.

If you don’t have TRY in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Turkey.

Once you have TRY in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

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

Only if you have to

Banks

Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Turkey.

On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Barclays will add 3.35% markup, getting you ₺392,193.65 vs ₺404,554.13 with Key Currency.

We found Barclays was the cheapest bank on 29 of the 29 days it appeared for this amount.

Ways to fund GBP and receive TRY in Turkey

Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much TRY your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.

Our data shows that Key Currency gets your recipient 12,360.48 TRY more than Barclays, today's cheapest bank, on the same £6,000.

The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Turkey is via Key Currency, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive TRY.

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Turkey, 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 credit card.

Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.

Receiving money in Turkey

Money can reach Turkey by bank deposit, cash pickup, mobile wallet, and card deposit, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

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

Receiving cash

MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you ₺398,642.40 on a £6,000 transfer).

Mobile wallets

You can receive TRY into a mobile wallet, which is useful since they don't need a bank account.

Consider this when sending GBP to Turkey

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

Compare GBP/TRY transfer options

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

Cheapest way to send money to Turkey

The cheapest way is to use Key Currency, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get ₺404,554.13, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Turkey

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get ₺400,464.10 and it will arrive in within minutes.

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/TRY 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 Key Currency will get you 404,554.13 TRY, that’s including £0 fee and 0.25% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you ₺392,193.65, that’s £0 in fees but 3.35% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

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

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.

How we analyse the market

We track 11 regulated companies offering money transfers from the UK to Turkey in real time.

We analyse the fees, exchange rates, deposit/withdrawal methods, and each goes through our internal review.

Most GBP/TRY pricing data comes directly from the providers. We collect the rest manually, run it through our comparison engine and label it in the table.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 209 comparisons across 7 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for GBP/TRY transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
