Send money to the UK in GBP or EUR directly from your Bitnob wallet. Enjoy fast, secure transfers, low fees, and great rates.
Sending money from Africa to the UK has never been as seamless as it should be. According to the World Bank, sub-Saharan Africa consistently faces some of the highest remittance costs globally, averaging 8% per $200 sent, nearly three times the global target of 3%. That means a significant chunk disappears in fees for every hard-earned dollar sent to loved ones.
And that’s not the only problem. From slow transaction speeds to unfavorable exchange rates and a lack of transparent services, many have been left searching for better, faster, and fairer ways to move their money.
Now with Bitnob, you can send money directly to the UK in GBP or EUR, with low fees and great exchange rates. Whether you're supporting family, paying for school, or doing business across borders, Bitnob makes it possible to send money quickly, affordably, and without stress.
Why does this Matter?
Every day, real people rely on cross-border payments. Not only for luxury, also for life. Parents send allowances, friends help each other out, freelancers pay for services, businesses settle invoices, and students cover school fees.
Until now, these everyday use cases often meant sacrificing a good chunk of the money to fees or getting poor exchange rates. It’s time for something better.
With Bitnob, you can send money to bank accounts in the UK in both GBP and EUR, with low fees. You’ll also enjoy some of the best rates you’ll find anywhere.
