Cheapest way to send money to Belarus

When you're hunting down the cheapest ways to send money to Belarus, it's more important to look at the overall cost of your transfer. This has a couple of elements:

  • Transfer fees. While still cheaper than your British bank, some money transfer services charge either a fixed or percentage-based fee for making your transfer.
  • Exchange rates. Another way money transfer providers make money is to add a margin to the mid-market GBP/BYN exchange rate.

Some providers may charge the mid-market rate but add fees on top. Others may have very low fees but apply a markup on the exchange rate. This means it is important to compare exactly how many Belarusian rubles your recipient will end up with.

Safest way to send money to Belarus

The safest way to get your money to Belarus is to use a provider registered with the United Kingdom's industry regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). All the companies we've compared in our table are overseen by a local regulator and comply with the relevant laws and regulations in both the United Kingdom and Belarus.

A great way to dive deeper is by reading our extended reviews of each transfer service and researching first-hand customer feedback on Trustpilot and similar platforms.

Large money transfers to Belarus

If you need to make a sizable money transfer to Belarus, consider using a provider such as Wise (TransferWise) or CurrencyTransfer to benefit from its expertise in handling larger transfer amounts.

Using a large transfer specialist can have the following advantages:
  • Tax guidance. Large transfers to Belarus may have tax implications for you or your recipient. A transfer specialist can help get you up to speed on the HMRC's latest advice.
  • Foreign exchange (forex) tools. Advanced tools such as forward contracts, limit orders and stop-loss orders can help you lock in the BYN exchange rate you want.
  • Account manager. Some money transfer providers assign a personal account manager who can help and advise you on your transfer needs.
  • Phone service. If you want to talk your transfer through with someone, providers such as CurrencyTransfer Business and Wise (TransferWise) can give you support over the phone.

    Make sure you're happy with the fees, exchange rates and transfer speed, then enter the amount you wish to send. Double-check the total Belarusian rubles your recipient gets.
  5. Complete your transfer.
    Send your money transfer to Belarus. Keep your transaction reference number safe so you can track your transfer. Your recipient may need it, too.

How to choose the best money transfer companies to send money to Belarus

Although we currently have any active deals to help you transfer money to Belarus from the United Kingdom, below we cover the most features to consider when researching providers.

  • Exchange rates. Banks and transfer services use the mid-market rate to trade with one another. It is the best rate you can get. However, not all money transfer providers offer you this mid-market rate so compare the BYN you're offered to the mid-market rate and look for the smallest difference.
  • Transfer fees. Are you being charged a flat fee or a percentage of your transfer amount? For example, a provider offering to transfer your money to Belarus for a flat or low fee might work out better if you plan to send a large amount.
  • Transfer type. Does your recipient have a Belarusian bank account or is cash or cell phone top-up a better option? Each transfer type has different fees. For example, instant cash pickups tend to be more expensive than bank transfers .
  • Transfer speed. If you need your transfer to arrive quickly, you can pay for an express delivery. Some companies offer instant cash pickups but may charge more. If you're not in a rush, online money transfer services offer the best value and get your money to Belarus faster and cheaper than banks.
  • Transfer limits. Find out how much you can send with each service.
  • Discounts. Some providers may offer you a free transfer simply for signing up. Others may offer a discount if you transfer more than a specific amount of Belarusian rubles.
