1. Sending money
a) How can I send my money?
There are many ways to send money from one country to another:
Cash – You can send cash from the UK, come into our branch in person, and your family can pick up cash in the country they are in.
Bank to Bank Transfer – If you have a bank account you can transfer money from this to our account once you have asked us to generate a remitance order for you.
The Internet – If you have a internet bank account you can transfer money from this to our account once you have asked us to generate a remitance order for you.
b) How much money can I send?
There is no legal limit to the amount of money that you can send. However, many businesses that transfer money do limit the amount that they can send for you. You are likely to be asked some questions by your money transfer company or your bank if the amount you want to send is large.
c) What ID do I need to send money?
For any amount over £800, you need to produce a form of ID, for example a current passport or photo driving licence, and a proof of address. You also need to have this ID the first time you use a new money transfer company.
d) Do I have to be British to send money?
No, anyone can send money but you must have proof of who you are.
