Sending money UK to Australia

[KaiKenna]

I'd like to send money from me UK to my sister in Australia (so Friends & Family payment)

I'm struggling to figure out if there will be a charge, or if there is the best way to go about it?

I can send from paypal balance or debit/credit card whichever is better

Any advice much appreciated

Thank you

If you are sending in her currency then you won't be able to use funds in your balance if its not in AUD.

Its free if you fund it via your bank account but NOT free if you use a credit card.

However you would still pay currency conversion costs but if you send AUD it will tell you how much will be deducted from your funding source before you click submit to pay. You will also pay a cross border fee.
