Where can I send this currency? 

To find out which countries you can send this currency to, open the Send money screen in the app or online. 

Choose your destination country first and all available currencies will show in the drop-down currency menu. 

What recipient details do I need? 

Information we need from you may vary, depending on the country it is being sent to. For sending GBP to the UK, we will require: 

• Your recipient’s name 
• Your recipient’s address 
• Your recipient’s account number 
• Your recipient’s sort code 
• Your recipient’s bank name and address

This will be the same for a recipient which is a business.

How long will it take? 

It takes between 0-3 days for your money to reach Xe, depending on how you pay for your transfer.  Once we receive your funds we make payment to your recipient. 

From this point, it usually takes 1-4 working days for the funds to arrive. This can vary depending on the recipients bank.

We will send you a notification at each stage of your transfer so you know where your funds are.
