How to send money from Qatar to UK

Pick a company

I suggest starting with Key Currency which is the cheapest option for sending QAR50,000.

Key Currency was the cheapest on 27 of the 27 days it quoted QAR50,000 transfers to the UK.

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.

Compare amounts

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send QAR 50,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what QAR 50,000 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 GBP per QAR 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 Qatar.

Right now, Key Currency pays 10,169.96 GBP on 50,000 QAR, which is 25.49 GBP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 10,410.11 GBP.

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 the UK.

We've tracked 90 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 3 amounts over the past month.

  1. Key CurrencyAppeared in 27 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. Regency FXAppeared in 57 comparisons

    Cheapest in 53% of them

  3. XeAppeared in 59 comparisons

    Cheapest in 3% of them

Based on 90 comparisons across 3 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 Key Currency is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in 53% of its comparisons, so if you send money to the UK regularly, it's worth comparing it with Key Currency before each transfer.

Ways to send money from Qatar to UK

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

Simplest way to send QAR

Digital wallets & apps

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

It's 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 10,075 GBP in minutes - 24 hours.

That’s including 0 QAR fee and 1.19% markup.

Over the past month, Xe was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for QAR50,000 transfers.

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 10,075 GBP with a QAR 0 fee and 1.19% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 19 of the 29 days it quoted.

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 the United Kingdom.

This is especially useful if you're 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.

Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 100% of all the transfers it quoted.

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 10,169.96 GBP.

You can pay in QAR using bank transfer.

In the 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 QAR 50,000 transfer to the United Kingdom, I would suggest starting with these:

Cheapest way to send money to the United Kingdom

Key Currency is the cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,169.96 GBP, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to the United Kingdom

Regency FX delivers 10,167.92 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 the 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.

How we analyse the market

Every exchange house and company here is licensed by the Qatar Central Bank.

We track 4 of them on QAR to the United Kingdom in real time on live comparisons. Since the riyal is fixed to the dollar, we compare on what arrives in GBP rather than on the fee.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 90 comparisons across 3 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for QAR/GBP transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
