Once you click on the currency, answer the question about the sender’s location to see the available payment methods.

For payments originating within the United Kingdom, Faster Payments Service is the primary method:

  • Faster Payments Service enables instant, 24/7 payments in the UK for both business and personal use, providing immediate funds availability.
  • It typically takes just a few seconds to complete.
  • Charges are usually free or very low for the sender.
  • There is a transaction limit of up to £250,000 per transaction.

For payments originating outside the United Kingdom, SWIFT is the preferred option:

Simply share your SWIFT account details. There are no official limits on the amount you can receive, and processing usually takes 1-2 business days depending on the banks involved.
