How to send money from Qatar to UK

Pick a company

I suggest starting with Key Currency which is the cheapest option for sending ﷼50,000.

Fund your transfer

You have 1 options to pay: bank transfer.

In most cases Himyan will work for deposits, but it's worth double checking with the transfer company.

Verify and send

You'll need your QID to register and to send.

Once you're set up, sending again to the same person takes under a minute, which is the point of registering properly the first time.

Ways to send money from Qatar to UK

There are 4 ways across 4 companies send money from Qatar to United Kingdom, mostly through broker, online, app, and global account.

Simplest way to send QAR

Digital wallets & apps

Money transfer apps and wallets are best for small and frequent transfers from Qatar to United Kingdom.

Its good for things like monthly payments home, family support, bill payments from abroad, etc.

Xe is the cheapest money transfer app for QAR/GBP transfers.

Sending QAR 50,000 will get you 10,220 GBP in minutes - 24 hours.

That’s including 0 QAR fee and 1.09% markup.

Wallets like Ooredoo Money aggregate rates from several exchange houses, but it’s not always the cheapest.

For one-off transfers from Qatar

Online transfers

Sending online from Qatar is different from most countries, because many of the big global services simply don't work here.

From the available options, Xe is the cheapest one.

For example, sending QAR 50,000 will get you 10,220 GBP with a QR 0 fee and 1.09% markup.

However, it’s worth comparing rates to Ooredoo Money to see who offers more GBP.

Holding, spending, and travelling

US Dollar accounts

Alternatively to other options, you can open a US Dollar account.

Since QAR is pegged to USD, it costs almost nothing to convert, and it’s easier to send USD to United Kingdom.

This is especially useful if you from another country staying in Qatar (as residency plays a big role when signing up to money transfer companies and apps).

For large QAR transfers abroad

Currency brokers

Currency brokers have dedicated account managers to handle your transfer end to end.

This makes it the best option for large QAR transfers. For example, investing abroad, buying property, paying education fees, etc.

For example, Key Currency adds 0.25% markup with no fees.

Ways to fund QAR and receive GBP in UK

With Key Currency, paying by bank transfer and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending QAR 50,000 gives your recipient 10,306.62 GBP.

You can pay in QAR using bank transfer.

In United Kingdom, the recipient can receive GBP through bank deposit.

Things to consider when sending money from Qatar to UK

Qatar's exchange houses handle most personal transfers, while your QID and the provider's own salary-based limits can decide how much you can send online.

Compare QAR/GBP transfer options

For a ﷼ 50,000 transfer to United Kingdom, I would suggest starting with these:

Cheapest way to send money to United Kingdom

Key Currency is the cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,306.62 GBP, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to United Kingdom

Regency FX delivers 10,304.55 GBP in minutes - 24 hours when you pay by bank transfer and withdraw with bank deposit.

Keep your QID current

Your QID is used to open and verify bank, money transfer apps, wallets, and exchange-house accounts.

A company can pause a transfer or restrict the account when the identity record is expired or does not match.

If you are leaving Qatar, arrange the transfer of savings and end-of-service pay while your QID and bank access are still active.

Large or unusual payments may need a salary certificate, bank statement or end-of-service document.

Online and wallet limits often follow the provider's risk checks and the income recorded on your account.

Keep the receipt until the money arrives

Check the recipient's account name and bank details in United Kingdom before paying.

If the transfer is held, contact the company first and ask for a trace rather than sending it again.

Unresolved complaints about a QCB-regulated financial institution can be taken to the QCB Customer Protection Department.
