“Mid-market” is the real rate banks trade at between themselves, before any markup — the fairest benchmark for what a transfer actually costs you.

About this corridor

What to watch when sending to Nepal

UK→Nepal remittances support a large and growing diaspora. Provider coverage is good — Wise, Remitly, and WorldRemit all serve this corridor — and the NPR is relatively stable against GBP.

The cheapest way to send money to Nepal from the UK

On today's data, Ria is the cheapest way to send money to Nepal from the UK — your recipient gets 205,993 on a £1,000 transfer, roughly 5,993 more than the worst-value option (MoneyGram). 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 NPR exchange rate today

The mid-market GBP/NPR rate — the real rate banks trade at, before any markup — is currently around 206.322. Once fees and margin are included, Ria's effective rate sits about 0.16% below mid-market, which works out to roughly £1.60 of cost on £1,000. Over the last 30 days the best recipient amount has ranged between 203,742 and 208,953. 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 Nepal?

Yes — the major providers we compare, including Wise, Remitly and WorldRemit, are established, FCA-authorised money-transfer firms that move money to Nepal 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 Nepal

Which provider gives the best GBP to NPR exchange rate?
Wise, Remitly, and WorldRemit all serve the UK-Nepal corridor with competitive rates. Rankings shift daily — Plyna collects real quotes every morning at 08:00 UTC and ranks by recipient amount for £1,000 sent. Check today's comparison for the current leader.
How long does a UK to Nepal bank transfer take?
Wise and Remitly typically deliver to Nepali bank accounts (Nabil Bank, NIC Asia, Everest Bank etc.) within a few hours. Transfers clear via Nepal's SWIFT interbank network. Weekend and public holiday transfers may arrive the next business day.
What fees are charged for UK to Nepal money transfers?
Wise charges a percentage-based fee (typically 0.5–0.7% on this corridor). Remitly charges a flat fee, often £1.99–£3.99. WorldRemit's fees are competitive here. The total cost depends on both the fee and the exchange rate margin — Plyna shows both in every comparison.
What is the GBP to NPR mid-market rate?
The NPR is pegged loosely to the Indian rupee, which means it moves with INR/GBP movements. The mid-market rate is the interbank benchmark — providers add a margin on top. Plyna shows each provider's margin vs mid-market on every snapshot so you can identify hidden costs.
How much NPR does my recipient get when I send £1,000 to Nepal?
The difference between best and worst provider on UK-Nepal can exceed Rs.2,000–Rs.4,000 on a single £1,000 transfer. Today's exact figures are in our current UK-Nepal comparison, updated every morning from real provider quotes.

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).
