Why people send money to the United Kingdom
Money is sent to the United Kingdom to pay for tuition, rent and services, to support family and to settle contracts. Faster Payments delivers to a British account around the clock, and we have our own office in London.
Money goes to the United Kingdom for tuition, rent and contract payments — education is expensive here and deadlines are strict. A Russian card does not work in the country, and a bank transfer from Russia does not always reach a British account. Faster Payments credits pounds to a local account around the clock, weekends included, so the payment is not tied to a bank's business day. We have an office in London where cash pounds can be collected.
-
Tuition and student invoices
Universities invoice in pounds with an exact due date. We send the money to the institution's details or to the student's account, from which they pay themselves.
-
Rent and deposits
British landlords ask for a deposit and several months up front. The amount arrives on the account in time, with no delay for conversion.
-
Contract payments
Paying contractors, agencies and consultants. British banks check the recipient's name against the account details, so the manager verifies the name before sending.
-
Supporting family
Regular transfers to relatives living in the United Kingdom. We set no limits on the frequency or the amount.
-
Cash pounds in London
Cash is available on this destination too: agree the amount and the time of your visit to our London office with a manager in advance.
-
Exchanging rubles and USDT for pounds
Swapping rubles, dollars or USDT for GBP at a rate locked before payment.
What you can send to the United Kingdom
-
In rubles from a Russian account
An ordinary transfer from a card or an account with a Russian bank, SBP included. We handle the conversion into the recipient's currency and name the rate before payment.
-
In dollars or euros
If you already hold the currency, we send it without an extra conversion: fewer steps means less lost on the rate.
-
In cryptocurrency
We accept USDT and other coins — the full list is in the calculator above. The recipient gets ordinary currency to their account, and the conversion rate is locked before payment.
-
In cash at an office
You can hand the money over at any of our offices — the cities are listed on the Contacts page.
Timing, fee and limits
-
Delivery time
From 15 minutes to one business day. Faster Payments works around the clock, while international transfers depend on the schedule of the bank.
-
Fee
A flat 1% fee on the transfer amount, whatever the destination and whatever the volume.
-
Limits
We set no limits of our own. Limits are set by the receiving bank: Faster Payments has a limit per transfer, and individual accounts may have daily limits on incoming amounts.
Where the money arrives in the United Kingdom
-
A bank account
Delivery to the recipient's own account: HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest and any other bank in the country. The payment runs through Faster Payments; you need the name in Latin letters, the sort code and the account number.
-
A local bank card
Delivery to a card issued by a bank in the recipient's country: VISA, Mastercard. You need the card number and the cardholder's name.
-
A company account
Paying a company invoice: delivery to a corporate account by bank details. We work under a contract signed by both sides — you as the sender and us as the provider. The payment purpose is agreed before sending.
-
A wallet or a multi-currency account
Revolut, Wise, Monzo. Good for smaller amounts and for recipients without a local bank account: wallets have their own limits on incoming payments and on the balance.
-
A local transfer inside the country
The sender and the recipient are in the same country: the money goes by local bank details, without crossing a border and without a currency conversion. It covers rent, tuition and services while you do not yet have an account with a local bank.
-
Cash at our office
London. Agree the amount and the time of your visit with a manager in advance.
