Transfer Money from the UK Using Our FairPay Service

What is FairPay?

FairFX has now taken its revolutionary approach to foreign exchange to the next level, offering clients the functionality to transfer money abroad with the release of its new International Online Payments facility.

Clients can now transfer money from the UK to any number of beneficiaries (family, friends and range of commercial enterprises or organisations). The facility offers a simple, transparent and automated approach to making smaller wire transfers more efficient and convenient. Clients can transfer any amount from our minimum transfer (varies from currency to currency, from around £600) up to our maximum £50,000.

To make your first FairPay payment, just click here.

If you need to send smaller amounts, you may be interested in our FairFX Currency Cards; for example, you may be able to apply for a FairFX Family and Friends card for the recipient, which you can transfer money to from your own FairFX Currency Card. For full details, click here.

If you have a requirement to make an international transfer of £25,000 or more, you can discuss this with one of our FX specialists to achieve an optimal market rate. Our dealing team can be contacted on:

FairFX Dealing desk: e-mail: fxdesk@fairfx.com or phone: 0207 778 9300

Fees payable when you transfer money between banks

FairFX will not charge you any payment fees/sending fees for your transfer. All costs to the customer are included in the market leading foreign exchange rate offered. FairFX will execute your payment in full and on time, provided you have completed all the necessary information correctly.

When sending money abroad, some correspondent banks/receiving banks will debit additional fees (together with any applicable taxes), and deduct these from the amount they credit to the beneficiary account. This is most prevalent in US Dollars (US$), both into the USA and to other countries, but it can occur in any currency/country combination.

Please also ensure that the account that you are sending money to is in the same currency as the transferred amount (e.g. send US$ to a US$ denominated account) otherwise you will incur additional conversion charges from the recipient bank.

Please note - FairFX has no control over these practices or the costs involved. Accordingly, please check with the receiving bank prior to completing your transfer.
