Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Vanuatu, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.
Regency FX was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Vanuatu.
On a 6,000 GBP transfer, Regency FX delivers the most VUV.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/VUV rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, 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 a £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to Vanuatu 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 Regency FX 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 £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. 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 VUV 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 VUV on every transfer from UK.
Right now, Regency FX pays 946,548.24 VUV on 6,000 GBP, which is 2,562.6 VUV less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 954,798.79 VUV.
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 Vanuatu.
We've tracked 196 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 Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most VUV, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 106 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Vanuatu.
OFX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 43% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Vanuatu.
There are many ways to send money to Vanuatu from the UK, including online, app, broker, in person, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.
For small & frequent transfers
If you send small amounts back home to Vanuatu, say weekly or monthly, an app like TransferGo is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
It charges £0 in fees, has 2.9% markup, lets you save recipient details, and VUV will arrive in minutes.
Over the past month, TransferGo was the cheapest app on 41% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.
For one off transfers
Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized VUV transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.
Online companies like TransferGo often have higher limits and/or first time promos.
Of the 6 companies we compared, TransferGo is the cheapest online service and will get you VT921,988 on a £6,000 transfer.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 7 of the 17 days it quoted.
For large transfers
Currency brokers like Regency FX 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 Vanuatu, and 24/7 support.
Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/VUV rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.
For fast money transfers
Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Vanuatu, but is usually a bit more expensive.
You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Vanuatu will be able to collect VT920,638.2 in minutes.
Our data shows MoneyGram came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.
For spending and receiving
Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Vatu abroad like a local.
Wise offers the best multi-currency account.
With it, converting £6,000 to VUV will get you VT884,676 after fees.
If you don’t have VUV in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Vanuatu.
Once you have VUV 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 are for UK businesses making payments overseas.
For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Vanuatu, 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 VUV 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 £6,000 to Vanuatu is via Regency FX, using a bank transfer to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive VUV.
You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Vanuatu, 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.
Money can reach Vanuatu by bank deposit, cash pickup, and mobile wallet, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.
The cheapest way to receive money in Vanuatu is with bank deposit on average.
Receiving cash
MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup (getting you VT920,638.2 on a £6,000 transfer).
Mobile wallets

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Vanuatu such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Vanuatu:
Cheapest way to send money to Vanuatu
The cheapest way is to use Regency FX, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get VT946,548.24, which is 0.23% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Vanuatu
The fastest way is to use Regency FX via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get VT946,548.24 and it will arrive in minutes - 24 hours.
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/VUV 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 Regency FX will get you 946,548.24 VUV, that’s including £0 fee and 0.27% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you VT0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Vanuatu.
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.
