How Money Transfers Work in the UK

When you send money abroad from the UK, several factors affect the final amount received:

• Transfer fees charged by your bank or money transfer service
• Exchange rate between GBP and the recipient's currency
• Additional charges from the recipient's bank

For example, sending £100 to the US with a £5 fee and an exchange rate of 1.20 would result in approximately £113.33 being received.

Understanding Transfer Fees

Fees for UK money transfers typically include:

• Bank transfer fees (usually £1-£5)
• Money transfer service fees (often 1-3% of the amount)
• Recipient bank charges (sometimes added to the amount)

Some services offer free transfers for certain account types or when sending to specific countries. Always check the terms and conditions of your chosen service.

Exchange Rates Explained

Exchange rates fluctuate daily based on market conditions. The calculator uses mid-market rates, which are the average of the buy and sell rates. Here's what affects exchange rates:

• Interest rates in the UK and recipient country
