Send money to the UK from Canada
From Canada to London, Manchester, and Birmingham, send money to UK with great CAD-to-GBP rates. Deposit directly to UK bank accounts in GBP or USD — fast, secure, and no hidden fees.
How to send money from Canada to the UK?
Create your RemitBee account from Canada in a few minutes. You can start online or through the mobile app, complete your profile, and manage your international money transfer without visiting a bank branch. Once your account is ready, you can send money to the UK whenever needed.
Choose the United Kingdom as the destination, enter the amount in Canadian dollars, and select bank deposit as the receiving method. Add your recipient’s full legal name and UK bank account details carefully, including account number, sort code, IBAN, SWIFT or BIC details where required.
Verify your identity once to keep your account secure and meet Canadian KYC and AML requirements. You may be asked for a government ID, passport, driver’s license, proof of address, or other details. Your verified profile also helps determine your transfer limit.
Pay for your Canada to UK transfer using Debit Card, Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or your RemitBee CAD Balance. Choose debit when speed matters most, or use bank-funded options when you want lower fees on planned CAD to GBP transfers.
Review the transfer fee, CAD to GBP exchange rate, recipient details, delivery currency, and final amount your recipient will receive. Confirm only when the UK bank account details, sort code, recipient name, and expected delivery time look correct.
After you send, follow your transfer status in real time. Save your receipt and transaction reference number for your records. Your recipient can wait for the money to land in their UK bank account while you monitor the transfer from your RemitBee account.
Cheapest way to send money to the UK
- Debit Card funding is faster but usually costs more.
- No transfer fee on eligible transfers of $500 or more CAD.
- Pay by Interac e-Transfer, Bill Payment, EFT, or Direct Withdrawal.
- Always compare the exchange rate and final GBP payout.
- Transfers under $500 CAD incur a $2.99 CAD fee.
Whether you're sending money to London, Manchester, Birmingham, or Glasgow, a lower fee doesn't always mean a cheaper transfer if the exchange rate is less competitive.

Available payment methods & speed
Here’s how fast each payment option can fund your Canada to UK transfer, from quickest to slowest.
Use your debit card to fund an urgent money transfer to the UK right away. This is the fastest funding method, but it usually costs more than Interac e-Transfer, EFT, or Bill Payment.
Send RemitBee an Interac e-Transfer from your Canadian bank. Once received, the funds are credited to your RemitBee account and used toward your UK bank deposit.
Pay RemitBee through the bill payment section of your Canadian online banking. This is a practical option for planned transfers, especially when you are sending more than $500 CAD.
Use EFT or Direct Withdrawal to move funds from your Canadian bank account to RemitBee. This works well for repeat senders who want a lower-cost funding method for CAD to GBP transfers.

Why RemitBee is the #1 app for sending money to the UK
Sending money from Canada to the UK should be simple, secure, and clear before you confirm. RemitBee offers Canadian senders multiple payment methods, competitive CAD-to-GBP exchange rates, direct UK bank deposits, and real-time transfer tracking in a single account.
Many people send money to the UK for family support, student expenses, rent, relocation, gifts, business invoices, or property-related payments. RemitBee keeps the process online, so you can send from your phone or computer without calling your bank or waiting in line for a wire transfer.
The exchange rate can change how many pounds your recipient receives. A small CAD to GBP difference matters more on larger transfers. RemitBee shows the exchange rate and final payout before you confirm, helping you compare the real transfer cost instead of looking only at the fee.
When you send over $500 CAD and pay by Interac e-Transfer, EFT, Direct Withdrawal, or Bill Payment, your transfer can be fee-free. This is useful for larger planned transfers, recurring family support, UK rent payments, tuition support, or other regular expenses.
RemitBee shows the transfer fee, exchange rate, delivery currency, and final recipient amount before you send. This keeps the process transparent. Your recipient knows what to expect, and you can check the GBP or USD amount before confirming the transfer.
RemitBee uses identity verification, secure account access, fraud monitoring, and real-time status updates to help protect your transfer. You can save the receipt, track the transfer, and keep a transaction reference number for your records.
