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.

Is it safe to send money to the UK with Vell?

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.
