We track Western Union and MoneyGram and are working to add them to this corridor — we'd rather show nothing than an unverified rate.
“Mid-market” is the real rate banks trade at between themselves, before any markup — the fairest benchmark for what a transfer actually costs you. More terms, decoded →

About this corridor
What to watch when sending to Ghana
UK→Ghana is a high-volume corridor with a large Ghanaian diaspora in the UK. The GHS is relatively stable, but provider margins vary significantly — always compare the effective rate, not just the fee.
The cheapest way to send money to Ghana from the UK
On today's data, WorldRemit is the cheapest way to send money to Ghana from the UK — your recipient gets GH₵15,647 on a £1,000 transfer, roughly GH₵237 more than the worst-value option (Wise). Rankings shift daily as providers reprice, so the cheapest provider changes from one day to the next — we refresh every morning from real quotes, so always check today's table above before you send.
GBP to GHS exchange rate today
The mid-market GBP/GHS rate — the real rate banks trade at, before any markup — is currently around 15.627. Once fees and margin are included, WorldRemit's effective rate today sits about 0.13% above mid-market — almost always a promotional or introductory rate rather than the standard price, so it may not apply to every transfer. Over the last 30 days the best recipient amount has ranged between GH₵15,359 and GH₵15,753. No provider gives you the pure mid-market rate — the goal is finding the one that sits closest to it.
Is it safe to send money to Ghana?
Yes — the major providers we compare, including Wise, Remitly and WorldRemit, are established, FCA-authorised money-transfer firms that move money to Ghana every day. Plyna is an independent comparison service and doesn't handle your transfer; we simply show what each provider gives your recipient. Always start your transfer on the provider's own site or app and confirm the final rate and fee there. See our methodology for exactly how we collect and rank these figures.

Common questions
Sending money from UK to Ghana
- Which provider gives the best GBP to GHS exchange rate?
- In our last 30 days of quotes for £1,000, WorldRemit paid out the most on 30 days. Picking the worst provider instead of the best cost £10.94 on average. The leader can change, so check today's ranking above before you send.
- How long does a UK to Ghana bank transfer take?
- It depends on the provider, how you pay and the recipient's bank. Bank deposits often arrive the same day, and first transfers can take longer while identity checks are done. Plyna compares price, not speed, so check the delivery estimate on the provider's quote before you confirm.
- Can I send money from the UK to MTN MoMo in Ghana?
- Yes — several providers including WorldRemit and Remitly support MTN Mobile Money delivery for UK-Ghana transfers. MTN MoMo is widely used in Ghana and transfers are typically instant once processed. Check current provider availability and limits.
- What fees are charged for UK to Ghana money transfers?
- In our latest quotes for £1,000 to Ghana: WorldRemit £0.00, Remitly £0.00 and Wise £8.04. The fee is only part of the cost: each provider also sets its own exchange rate, so a £0 fee can still pay out less. That's why we rank by the amount that arrives.
- How much GHS does my recipient get for £1,000 sent from the UK?
- On 11 November 2026, the most your recipient could get for £1,000 was GH₵15,647 with WorldRemit, and the least was GH₵15,410 with Wise. Over the last 30 days the gap averaged £10.94. Today's figures for every provider are in the comparison above.
How we collect this data
Real quotes. Dated snapshots. Nothing modelled.
Every figure on this page traces back to an actual quote pulled from the provider's own rate calculator on a specific day. The exchange rate is compared against the true mid-market rate at the time of collection, exposing any hidden margin baked into the quoted rate. Recipient amounts are calculated as (£1,000 − fee) × rate × (1 − margin).
