Transfer details
For a one-off transfer to Swaziland, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Remitly.
On a 1,500 GBP transfer, Remitly delivers the most SZL.
The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/SZL rate.
You have 3 ways to pay, including debit card, credit card, and bank transfer.
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 £1,500 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

Xe charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 2.11% markup on top of the current GBP/SZL rate.
The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .
For fast money transfers

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Swaziland such as limits, taxes, and safety.
Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £1,500 transfer to Swaziland:
Cheapest way to send money to Swaziland
The cheapest way is to use Remitly, pay in with a bank transfer and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get L32,070, which is 1.02% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Swaziland
The fastest way is to use Xe via debit card deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get L31,743.15 and it will arrive in minutes - 24 hours.
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/SZL 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.
Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.
For example, sending L32,070 with Remitly will get you 32,070 SZL, that’s including £1.99 fee and 1.09% in exchange rate markup.
A bank like on the other hand, will get you L0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.
There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Swaziland.
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.
For more information, check our guide to money transfer regulations in the UK.
The exchange rate you secure impacts how much SZL you get for your GBP, so waiting a day or two can get you more Lilangeni.
