How to send money from Malaysia to Uganda

Pick a company

I suggest starting with Regency FX which is the cheapest option for sending RM8,200.

Regency FX was the cheapest on 27 of the 29 days it quoted RM8,200 transfers to Uganda.

Fund your transfer

There are a few ways to fund your transfer, including bank transfer, fpx, and debit card.

DuitNow and FPX are most common, both free and instant from your banking app.

This is for funding your money transfer account, not direct transfers to Uganda.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need your IC, or a passport and permit if you're a foreign worker.

Run a new recipient's account through Semak Mule before you send to confirm their details.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send RM 8,200, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what RM 8,200 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 UGX per MYR 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 1 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Regency FX pays 8,809,308.87 UGX on 8,200 MYR, which is 23,849.53 UGX less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 8,984,721.18 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.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

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 92 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 4 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 45 comparisons

    Cheapest in 91% of them

  2. WiseAppeared in 91 comparisons

    Cheapest in 41% of them

  3. WorldRemitAppeared in 60 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 92 comparisons across 4 amounts over the last 30 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 Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Wise (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 41% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Uganda.

Check both the number and wallet provider beforehand.

Use our "mobile money" payout filter above to find the cheapest company offering it.

For a card and bank deposit, you will need the recipient's account name, account number and bank details in Uganda.

Double check the info, since it's very hard to stop or reverse once it leaves your account.

Things to check before sending MYR to Uganda

Here are a few things to know about money transfers from Malaysia to Uganda.

Best ways to send MYR to Uganda

  1. Cheapest - Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 8,809,308.87 UGX, which is 1.35% more than the next best option.

Transfers and overseas investments are different

Malaysia's Foreign Exchange Policy does not impose the overseas-investment limit on an ordinary payment for family support, education, goods or services.

Different rules can apply when a resident converts ringgit to invest in foreign-currency assets, particularly if they have domestic ringgit borrowing.

Bank Negara Malaysia keeps the current FEP rules and notices here.

Documents needed

A bank or licensed money services business can ask what the payment is for and where the money came from.

Keep the quote, receipt and any supporting invoice or employment record to hand over if needed.

Check the recipient before you send

For a new bank account, check the recipient details through the Royal Malaysia Police Semak Mule service first.

Only use a bank or money transfer service regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Check the company in BNM's list of licensed MSB operators before paying an unfamiliar agent.

If you realise you have sent money to a scammer, contact your bank and call the National Scam Response Centre on 997.
