International money transfers for families and freelancers · London

Send money home and keep the difference.

Wayfern Transfers moves money from the UK to forty-odd countries at the mid-market exchange rate, with the fee shown before you press send. No hidden margin on the rate, no surprise deduction on arrival, and a person to call if a transfer looks late.

Every fee is shown in pounds before you pay anything.

Why people stay

A transfer you can follow from the first tap to the last

Money that crosses a border passes through several hands. We show you each one so you are never left guessing.

A rate that stays honest

The quote you see is the mid-market rate, locked for thirty minutes while you pay. Our fee is the only charge, and it is written next to the amount.

Alerts for the rate you want

Set a target for the pair you use most. Wayfern sends one message when it is reached and nothing at all until then.

Customer money stays apart

Your funds are held in separate safeguarded accounts, never mixed with the money that runs our offices.

Real help on the phone

If a transfer is delayed, an agent can see exactly where it is and tell the receiving bank what to look for.

Questions before a first transfer

How long is a quote valid?

Thirty minutes. If your payment has not arrived by then, we show a refreshed quote and ask you to confirm before moving forward.

Is there a sending limit?

New customers can send up to £3,000 a day. After a quick identity check, limits rise to £50,000 for each transfer.

What if my recipient gets nothing?

Contact us with the tracking link. We trace the transfer with the paying partner, and refund you in full if it cannot be delivered.

Why do you ask for ID?

UK rules require us to confirm who you are, where the money comes from and who receives it. It takes about three minutes with a passport.

People who send money every month

“I send half my pay to my mother in Manila. Seeing the fee written down before I pay has saved me the argument I used to have with myself.”
Joselito RamosCare worker, Leeds
“Invoices from clients in Lagos arrive at odd hours. The rate alert pinged me on a Tuesday and I moved a month of savings at a better number.”
Adaeze OkonkwoFreelance designer, Bristol
“A payment was held for checks and someone actually phoned me. They explained what the partner bank needed and it was sorted that afternoon.”
