How to Transfer GBP to NZ

With the British pound strengthening against the New Zealand dollar, anyone transferring money from the UK can now get more NZD.

But it’s not just when you transfer — it’s also how you transfer that can make a big difference.

On a £100,000 transfer, using a specialist instead of your bank could put an extra $3,000 in your pocket. And by choosing the most competitive provider — like XE — you might save another $1,000 on top. That’s up to $4,000 extra, just by making a smarter transfer decision.

As our comparison shows, XE continues to edge out the competition, as it has for the past 12 months. But the FX landscape is always changing, and the best provider today may not be the best tomorrow — so it pays to monitor regularly.

For transparency, I have no financial interest in XE, but I do hold a shareholding in Wise, and occasionally recommend that clients invest a small portion of their portfolio in it.

Our investment thesis for Wise includes:

  • Strong and growing name recognition

  • Healthy margins, as they’re not chasing price leadership

  • A scalable global business model
