Sending money to United Kingdom can be an expensive business, more so if you aren’t even aware of all the hidden fees. Money transfer companies and banks profit by charging you fees and a normally hidden margin on the exchange rate.

Using your Bank to make international wire transfers to India can be especially expensive – often 5% to 10% worse than using a foreign exchange specialist to send to United Kingdom bank accounts or pay a Pound Sterling invoice.

How is the expat life in the UK?

Expat life in the UK can be a positive experience, as the country is known for its rich history, culture, and diverse society. It also offers a high standard of living and a strong economy. However, as with any move to a new country, there can be challenges to overcome.
