International Payments

Making one-off or regular bank transfers overseas? Our International Payments service is a fee-free, easy and safe way to transfer your money between UK and overseas bank accounts.

One-off payments

All international money transfers are done online or over the phone depending on the amount you need to transfer. You can transfer any amount from £250 to £300,000 safely and securely online. For payments over £20,000 you can use our telephone service where a specialist team member will give you clear guidance and offer quotes tailored to your specific needs. Transfers under £20,000 must be made online.
We offer competitive rates. We transfer your money and send you a confirmation of the transaction.
Pay using a UK debit or credit card or electronic transfer. We don't charge you but your credit card company may charge 1.5%.

If you transfer more than £70,000 you must use electronic transfer such as CHAPS, BACS or telegraphic transfer.

Regular payments

Need to make the same payment every week or month?

It could be easier for you to set up a Regular Payments Abroad contract.

Save time by paying by Direct Debit.

We take a deposit as we buy the total amount of currency you need up-front. We then use this for the final payment.

To set up a Regular Payments Abroad contract, call us on 0800 180 4703, 9am-6pm Monday to Friday.

Fix the exchange rate

Fixing an exchange rate for your overseas money transfers can:

help you budget if you make regular payments – your payments won’t go up and down with currency fluctuations so you know the exact amount that will be taken each time

save you money – you can fix an exchange rate up to 12 months before making a payment, so if you think the pound is doing well against the currency you need, you could have more foreign currency if it gets stronger

To fix an exchange rate, call us on 0800 180 4703, 9am-6pm Monday to Friday.

Payment methods

For amounts from £250-£70,000 you can pay by credit or debit card (UK registered) or electronic transfer. If your amount is over £70,000 you can only pay by electronic transfer.
