How to send money from UK to Ghana

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Ghana, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is TapTap Send.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, TapTap Send delivers the most GHS.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/GHS rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, 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.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

Ways to send money from the UK to Ghana

There are many ways to send money to Ghana from the UK, including app, broker, online, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Ghana, say weekly or monthly, an app like TapTap Send is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £0 in fees, has -0.03% markup, lets you save recipient details, and GHS will arrive in minutes.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized GHS transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

Online companies like Wise often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of 1 online services, Wise is the cheapest and will get you GH₵91,467.43 on £6,000 transfer.

For large transfers

Brokers

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 Ghana, and 24/7 support.

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/GHS rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Ghan Cedi abroad like a local.

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to GHS will get you GH₵91,467.43 after fees.

If you don’t have GHS in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Ghana.

Once you have GHS in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Ghana, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Ways to fund GBP and receive GHS in Ghana

Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much GHS 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 Ghana is via TapTap Send, using a debit card to deposit GBP and mobile money to receive GHS.

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Ghana, including debit card, bank transfer, and credit card.

The cheapest pay-in option is debit card.

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 bank transfer.

Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.

The cheapest way to receive money in Ghana is with mobile money on average.

Consider this when sending GBP to Ghana

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Ghana such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/GHS transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Ghana:

Cheapest way to send money to Ghana

The cheapest way is to use TapTap Send, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via mobile money. You will get GH₵92,400, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Ghana

The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile money for pay out. You get GH₵92,400 and it will arrive in minutes.

UK transfer limits

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/GHS transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending GH₵92,400 with TapTap Send will get you 92,400 GHS, that’s including £0 fee and -0.03% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you GH₵0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Ghana.

And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.

Staying safe when sending abroad

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.
