Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Ukraine, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Western Union.
Western Union was the cheapest on 4 of the 30 days it quoted £1,500 transfers to Ukraine.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, Western Union 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 4 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, and paypal.
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 £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of 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.
Our analysis shows Western Union was the cheapest in % of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 11% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £1,500, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £1,500 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 UAH 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 UAH on every transfer from UK.
Right now, Western Union pays 89,710.05 UAH on 1,500 GBP, which is 1,466.57 UAH less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 89,788.75 UAH.
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.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Ukraine.
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 Western Union is the cheapest and gets you the most UAH, but it was the cheapest in only 11% of the 120 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
Revolut (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 12% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Ukraine.
If it's a one-off transfer, go with Western Union, since it's the cheapest right now.
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 Western Union is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 1.62% markup, lets you save recipient details, and UAH will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, Western Union was the cheapest app on 13% of the days it appeared for £1,500 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized UAH transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Western Union often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 5 companies we compared, Western Union is the cheapest online service and will get you ₴89,710.05 on a £1,500 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 9 of the 30 days it quoted.
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 expensive.
You will need to deposit £1,500 online via Western Union, and your recipient in Ukraine will be able to collect ₴89,710.05 in minutes.
Our data shows Western Union came out cheapest among in-person options on 60% of days in the past month.
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 ₴89,700.92 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).
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
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 Western Union, using a debit card to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive UAH.
You have 4 pay-in options for transfers to Ukraine, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, and paypal.
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 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, card deposit, and cash pickup, 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
Western Union is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you ₴89,710.05 on a £1,500 transfer).
Digital wallets
Your recipient can receive UAH directly into a digital wallet (like PayPal) which usually takes a few minutes to arrive.

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 a £1,500 transfer to Ukraine:
Cheapest way to send money to Ukraine
The cheapest way is to use Western Union, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get ₴89,710.05, which is 0.01% 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 ₴89,700.92 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.
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 £1,500 with Western Union will get you 89,710.05 UAH, that’s including £0 fee and 1.62% 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.
