Sending money from Australia to the UK
Australia is home to one of the largest British-born communities outside the UK. Whether you're supporting family back home, paying a UK mortgage, covering university fees, or moving savings after relocating, getting a fair exchange rate on your AUD to GBP transfer matters.
The AUD/GBP exchange rate fluctuates daily based on global market conditions, interest rate decisions from the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of England, and broader economic sentiment. Even a small difference in the rate you're offered can mean significantly more or less arriving on the other end, especially on larger transfers.
Unlike banks, which apply their own retail rate on top of the market rate, Vell offers a competitive exchange rate with a single transparent fee. What you see in the calculator is what gets sent.

No. Vell charges one flat fee shown upfront before you confirm. There are no hidden charges, no exchange rate markup, and no correspondent bank fees deducted from the amount received.
Can I send money from Australia to a UK digital bank like Monzo or Starling?
Yes. Vell transfers work with all UK bank accounts including digital banks like Monzo, Starling, and Revolut, as long as you have the correct account number and sort code.
Is it safe to send money to the UK with Vell?
Yes. Vell is registered with AUSTRAC (Australia's financial intelligence agency) and operates under strict anti-money laundering and compliance regulations. Your transfer is encrypted and tracked from send to arrival.
What is a sort code and do I need one?
A sort code is a 6-digit number that identifies your recipient's UK bank and branch. You can use it alongside their account number to send money, or simply use their IBAN instead. Either works with Vell. Your recipient can find their sort code on their bank card, banking app, or a bank statement.
