Best ways to send money to India from the UK
Bank transfer from the UK
Sending money from UK to India via bank transfer is a popular option for funding your international money transfer to India. They take a little longer than debit or credit card transfers but they’re insanely cheap.
Debit card from the UK
Paying with a debit card makes your money transfer super-fast. However, compared to a UK bank transfer to India, it can be more expensive as they’re charged at a higher (but still low) fee.
Credit card from the UK
You can also pay for your international money transfers with a credit card. TransferGo accepts both UK Visa and UK Mastercard to make transfers super-simple.
PISP from the UK
Some money transfers are enabled by a third-party financial entity called UK Payment Initiation Service Providers India, or PISP, which facilitates direct PISP transfers from UK to India for seamless online transactions.
SWIFT from the UK
When funds are processed, payment institutions use Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (aka SWIFT transfers from UK to India), a global messaging network that secures and executes cross-border transactions.
Apple Pay from the UK
If Apple Pay is enabled on your phone, you can use your mobile wallet to send mobile money to India from UK and other countries. It’s quick and easy but check with your bank first in case they charge you additional fees for transferring money to India. TransferGo doesn’t offer this functionality at the moment—but we’re planning to.
Google Pay from the UK
You can also send money to certain countries using Google Pay if mobile wallet is set up on your Android. All you need is your receiver’s mobile number. This isn’t a functionality TransferGo offers at the moment—but watch this space.
