Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to the UK, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Revolut.
Revolut was the cheapest on 29 of the 29 days it quoted £1,500 transfers to the UK.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, Revolut delivers the most GBP.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/GBP rate.
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.
First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.
On a £1,500 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to the UK 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 Revolut was the cheapest in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 100% 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 GBP 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 GBP on every transfer from the UK.
Today's payout is the highest in the past month.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to the UK.
We've tracked 239 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

Based on 56 comparisons across 8 amounts over the last 7 days.

Cheapest every time
Cheapest in 6% of them
Based on 621 comparisons across 8 amounts over the last 90 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 Revolut is the cheapest and gets you the most GBP, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 209 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to the UK.
Wise (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 12% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to the UK.
There are many ways to send money to the United Kingdom from the UK, including app, multi-currency account, global business account, and online, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to the United Kingdom, say weekly or monthly, an app like Revolut is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 0% markup, lets you save recipient details, and GBP will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, Revolut was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for £1,500 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized GBP transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 2 companies we compared, Wise is the cheapest online service and will get you £1,499.48 on a £1,500 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 TorFX or Key Currency, are the best for sending large amounts (£10k+) to the United Kingdom.
They charge no fees but add a percentage on top of the GBP/GBP interbank rate (which gets better the more you send).
We suggest to compare your options.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Pound Sterling abroad like a local.
Revolut offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £1,500 to GBP will get you £1,500 after fees.
If you don’t have GBP in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Revolut in the United Kingdom.
Once you have GBP 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 the United Kingdom, 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 GBP 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 the United Kingdom is via Revolut, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive GBP.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to the United Kingdom, 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 debit card.
Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.
Money can reach the United Kingdom by bank deposit, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in the United Kingdom is with bank deposit on average.
Digital wallets
Your recipient can receive GBP directly into a digital wallet (like PayPal or similar) which usually takes a few minutes to arrive.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to the United Kingdom such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £1,500 transfer to the United Kingdom:
Cheapest way to send money to the United Kingdom
The cheapest way is to use Revolut, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get £1,500, which is 0.03% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to the United Kingdom
The fastest way is to use Wise via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get £1,499.48 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/GBP 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 Revolut will get you 1,500 GBP, that’s including £0 fee and 0% in exchange rate markup.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to the United Kingdom.
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.
