Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Uganda, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is WorldRemit.
WorldRemit was the cheapest on 12 of the 26 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Uganda.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, WorldRemit delivers the most UGX.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/UGX rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, 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.
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.
How much GBP you send to Uganda 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 WorldRemit was the cheapest in 46% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 44% of all the transfers it quoted.

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 UGX 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 17 of the last 30 days.
Right now, WorldRemit pays 33,194,087.77 UGX on 6,000 GBP, which is 217,646.21 UGX 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 35,812,068.21 UGX.
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 Uganda.
We've tracked 209 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 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 WorldRemit is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.
MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 5% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Uganda.
There are many ways to send money to Uganda from the UK, including app, currency broker, online, in person, and bank, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Uganda, say weekly or monthly, an app like WorldRemit is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0.99 in fees, has -0.67% markup, lets you save recipient details, and UGX will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, WorldRemit was the cheapest app on 54% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized UGX transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 8 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you USh32,903,941.80 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 21 of the 30 days it quoted.
For large transfers
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 Uganda, and real human support.
Key Currency charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.25% markup on top of the current GBP/UGX rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 91% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Uganda, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.
Only if you have to
Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Uganda.
On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Barclays will add 2.7% markup, getting you USh32,096,430 vs USh33,194,087.77 with WorldRemit.
We found Barclays was the cheapest bank on 30 of the 30 days it appeared for this amount.
Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much UGX 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 WorldRemit gets your recipient 1,097,657.77 UGX more than Barclays, today's cheapest bank, on the same £6,000.
The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Uganda is via WorldRemit, using a debit card to deposit GBP and mobile money to receive UGX.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Uganda, including debit card, bank transfer, 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 Uganda by bank deposit, mobile money, mobile wallet, and cash pickup, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Uganda is with mobile money on average.
Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you USh32,903,941.80 on a £6,000 transfer).
Mobile wallets
You can receive UGX into a mobile wallet, which is useful since they don't need a bank account.
Mobile money
You can send money directly to a mobile number in Uganda.
and use our filters to find the company offering mobile money at the best GBP/UGX rate.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Uganda such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Uganda:
Cheapest way to send money to Uganda
The cheapest way is to use WorldRemit, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via mobile money. You will get USh33,194,087.77, which is 0.87% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Uganda
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile money for pay out. You get USh32,533,800 and it will arrive in 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/UGX 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 £6,000 with WorldRemit will get you 33,194,087.77 UGX, that’s including £0.99 fee and -0.67% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you USh32,096,430, that’s £0 in fees but 2.7% in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Uganda.
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.
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.
