Sending GBP from the United Kingdom

Transfer providers sending from the United Kingdom are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as payment institutions or electronic money institutions. Most UK transfers are funded by bank transfer (Faster Payments) or debit card.

This page compares providers for the the United Kingdom → Malaysia corridor specifically, ranked by how much MYR your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.
