Good news is that we know exactly how to find any MoneyGram locations in the UK! In this guide, you will find useful tips on sending and picking up your transfer in cash at any of MoneyGram’s physical location in the UK. If you're not sure if a Moneygram transfer is best for you, use Monito's money transfer comparison service to find the cheapest way to send money abroad.

Is It Worth & Safe Sending or Receiving Money with MoneyGram UK?

MoneyGram is the second-largest money transfer provider in the world. The company enables to send and pick up the funds in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. With MoneyGram, the money is ready for the pick-up in minutes.

MoneyGram’s has a network of significant size - 350,000+ agents worldwide. The company has a relatively strong presence in the emerging economies, where regular banking is rather a luxury than standard. 

Together with Western Union, it accounts for two-thirds of the money transfer market in the UK. Its agent locations are scattered all around the UK, and its services are available even at the post office.

Sending and picking up your international money transfer with MoneyGram is trouble-free. No bank account, debit or credit card, or mobile app needed. You can transfer or pick up your funds with MoneyGram online or at one of its physical location.

The service also has some drawbacks, which we’ve analyzed in our independent MoneyGram review.

MoneyGram Fees

But let’s be honest. Sending money with MoneyGram is not that perfect. Transferring funds with MoneyGram in cash at an agent’s location is way more expensive than sending the money online, and these costs tend to be higher than average.

Now let’s lift the lid on MoneyGram transfer fees! Let’s say you want to send ,e.g., £ 200 to support your relatives living in India*.

Cost of sending a transfer with MoneyGram in cash:

  • You send: 200 GBP
  • The recipient gets: 16,671.10 INR
  • Transfer cost: 6,18 GBP

Cost of sending a transfer with MoneyGram online:

  • You send: 200 GBP
  • The recipient gets: 17,152.05 INR
  • Transfer cost: 0,59 GBP

Cost of sending a transfer with the cheapest provider found on Monito:

  • You send: 200 GBP
  • The recipient gets: 17,155.68 INR
  • Transfer cost: 0,54 GBP

MoneyGram charges more than 6 GBP for the transfer in cash! 6 GBP is a LOT (516.07 INR**) and way too much for an international money transfer. If you send your funds with MoneyGram online, your recipient will get almost 500 INR more, and you will not lose the money on the transfer fee.

By sending money with the cheapest provider you can find on Monito, you are always sure that your hard-earned money will not be creamed off. That’s why we always recommend browsing the costs before transferring your funds abroad.

**Based on the mid-market exchange rate on XE.com 22/07/2019: 1 GBP = 85.9952 INR
