How to Save Money When Sending Money From the UK

If you need to send money abroad, don’t user your bank. There are many platforms in the UK that offer cheap transfers, and many have excellent sign-up bonuses that can save you even more money. Some of them are good enough to make a little bit of profit (sending money to your own foreign currency account). Don’t let your bank take advantage of you.

Best Money Transfer Apps in the UK: Bonuses & Discounts

The three best apps for sending money abroad are Wise, Zing, and Revolut. These are multicurrency accounts with debit cards that let you hold money in other currencies and spend it too. They have very low fees. But there are alternatives that have nice sign up offers that are worth using!
