What we've measured on GBP → TZS
Across 64 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 1.0% (widest single day: 2.2%). On a 1,000 GBP transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The best provider has changed 4 times in that window, across 3 different providers (WorldRemit has led on the most days). This corridor is genuinely competitive, so the cheapest option today may not be the cheapest next week.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for TZS, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Tanzania can be paid via a mobile wallet, cash pickup and a bank account, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
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 → Tanzania corridor specifically, ranked by how much TZS your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.
GBP to TZS — Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to send GBP to TZS?
WorldRemit currently offers the best value for GBP → TZS, delivering 3,519,515 TZS for 1,000 GBP. We rank by the total amount received after fees and exchange-rate markup, updated every 4 hours. Note that the lead has changed 4 times in the last 64 days across 3 providers, so today's winner is not a permanent answer — check before each transfer.
What is the current GBP to TZS exchange rate?
The best available rate is 1 GBP = 3519.52 TZS via WorldRemit. The reference (mid-market) rate is 3561.97, taken from Wise's published mid-market rate. Across 64 days of our own records, the spread between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 1.0%. Rates are updated every 4 hours. Always confirm the final rate on the provider's site before sending.
Are there hidden fees when sending GBP to TZS?
On this corridor the two costs split roughly 0.50% in visible fees and 1.13% in exchange-rate markup, averaged over the 4 providers here that publish a fee — so the markup is the larger part, about 69% of what you pay. 3 of them charge no fee at all on this corridor, which is exactly why fee alone is a poor guide. We rank by the amount your recipient actually receives, which captures both. Learn how fees work →
Can I send GBP to a mobile wallet in Tanzania?
Yes. Several providers on this page pay out to M-Pesa and Airtel Money in Tanzania. Choose your wallet as the delivery method at checkout on the provider's site — the recipient gets the money directly in their mobile-wallet balance, usually within minutes. Rankings above already account for the fee and exchange-rate markup, so the best value applies to wallet payout too.
