Send Money to the United Kingdom From Australia at the Best AUD-GBP Exchange Rate

When sending money from Australia to the UK, whether it is to pay a bill, to send a small amount to a friend or a larger amount to your own savings account, it is really important to compare your options beforehand, as some providers are much cheaper than others.

Making a transfer directly from your bank account (whether you have an account with CBA, Westpac, NAB or ANZ) is usually not a good idea, as banks often take a big margin on the exchange rate. You're generally much better off by using an online money transfer service (such as CurrencyFair for example) or a foreign exchange company (OFX, Currency Solutions or Moneycorp for example) as an intermediary for your transfer, as they will give you much better AUD-GBP exchange rates.

Affiliate Disclosure
Instead of banner ads and paywalls, Monito makes money through affiliate links to the various payment service providers featured on our website. While we work hard to scout the market for the best deals, we're unable to consider every possible product available to you. Our extensive range of trusted affiliate partners enables us to make detailed, unbiased, and solution-driven recommendations for all types of consumer questions and problems. This allows us to match our users with the right providers to suit their needs and, in doing so, match our providers with new customers, creating a win-win for everybody involved. However, while some links on Monito may indeed earn us a commission, this fact never impacts the independence and integrity of our opinions, recommendations, and evaluations.
