Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Ukraine, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most UAH.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/UAH 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 £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.
How much GBP you send to Ukraine 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.

There are many ways to send money to Ukraine from the UK, including app, online, in person, multi-currency account, global account, SNPL, and digital wallet, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Ukraine, say weekly or monthly, an app like MoneyGram is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 1.18% markup, lets you save recipient details, and UAH will arrive in minutes.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized UAH transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of 1 online services, MoneyGram is the cheapest and will get you ₴87,945.9 on £1,500 transfer.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like TorFX or Key Currency, are the best for sending large amounts (£10k+) to Ukraine.
They charge no fees but add a percentage on top of the GBP/UAH interbank rate (which gets better the more you send).
We suggest to compare your options.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Ukraine, but is usually a bit more more expensive.
You will need to deposit £1,500 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Ukraine will be able to collect ₴87,945.9 in minutes.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Hryvnia abroad like a local.
Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £1,500 to UAH will get you ₴87,458.46 after fees.
If you don’t have UAH in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in Ukraine.
Once you have UAH in the account, there are no extra fees from Revolut for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).
For business transfers
Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Ukraine, 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 UAH 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 £1,500 to Ukraine is via MoneyGram, using a debit card to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive UAH.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Ukraine, including debit card, bank transfer, 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.
Money can reach Ukraine by bank deposit, cash pickup, and card deposit, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Ukraine is with bank deposit on average.
Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup ( getting you ₴87,945.9 on £1,500 transfer).
Digital wallets

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Ukraine such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £1,500 transfer to Ukraine:
Cheapest way to send money to Ukraine
The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get ₴87,945.9, which is 0.24% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Ukraine
The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get ₴87,458.46 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/UAH 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 ₴87,945.9 with MoneyGram will get you 87,945.9 UAH, that’s including £0 fee and 1.18% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you ₴0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Ukraine.
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.
For more information, check our guide to money transfer regulations in the UK.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much UAH you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Hryvnia.
Mid-market rate:1 GBP = 59.52037 UAH
