In spite of the fact that banks can facilitate wire transfers to UK, it is cheaper to use the services of online platforms like BookMyForex. These online marketplaces will get you a better rate than banks when you do a wire transfer online to UK. However, wire transfers can be expensive. Banks in India charge anywhere from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 to process it. Moreover, most foreign banks that receive the money also charge a foreign correspondent fee ranging from GBP 10 to GBP 40. With BookMyForex, there are no hidden fees when it comes to transferring money from India to UK and you only pay a minimal transfer fee. You can do a wire transfer at guaranteed best forex rates with BookMyForex.

Factors to consider when sending money from India to UK

2) It is best to use a service provider that offers transparent rates and only processes remittances through authorized banks. BookMyForex charges a minimal transfer fee of Rs. 225 + GST for transfers to UK from India. The remittances are carried out only through trusted banks in India and we also offer attractive discounts on money transfers.

We at BookMyForex are there to guide you through the money transfer process as well as help you if something happens wrong during the process.
