Transfer details
For a one-off GBP transfer to Guinea-Bissau, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Xe.
Xe was the cheapest on 17 of the 30 days it quoted £1,500 transfers to Guinea-Bissau.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, Xe delivers the most XOF.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/XOF rate.
You have 4 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, and paypal.
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 £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.
How much GBP you send to Guinea-Bissau 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 Xe was the cheapest in 18% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 33% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £1,500, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £1,500 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 XOF per GBP 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 7 of the last 30 days.
Right now, Xe pays 1,166,311.95 XOF on 1,500 GBP, which is 9,530.92 XOF less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 1,169,229 XOF.
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 Guinea-Bissau.
We've tracked 226 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 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 Xe is the cheapest and gets you the most XOF, but it was the cheapest in only 33% of the 183 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
Revolut (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 8% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Guinea-Bissau.
If it's a one-off transfer, go with Xe, since it's the cheapest right now.
There are many ways to send money to Guinea-Bissau from the UK, including app, online, in person, broker, multi-currency account, global account, SNPL, and digital wallet, and more.

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Guinea-Bissau such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £1,500 transfer to Guinea-Bissau:
Cheapest way to send money to Guinea-Bissau
The cheapest way is to use Xe, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get CFA1,166,311.95, which is 0.46% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Guinea-Bissau
The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile money for pay out. You get CFA1,155,000 and it will arrive in minutes.
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/XOF 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 £1,500 with Xe will get you 1,166,311.95 XOF, that’s including £0 fee and 0.81% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you CFA0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Guinea-Bissau.
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.
