Sending from the United Kingdom

Support family plans in Uganda
From school fees to a family celebration, check the amount your recipient will receive in Ugandan shillings before you confirm.
Know the currency
The currency of Uganda is the Ugandan shilling (UGX). For a transfer from pounds to UGX, check the currency and amount shown for the recipient in the app.
Prepare your recipient’s details
Confirm the recipient’s full name and receiving details with them. Mobile numbers in Uganda start +256.
Why does the amount in Ugandan shillings look so large?
The Ugandan shilling has a much lower value per unit than the pound, so recipient amounts run into thousands or millions. Check the number of digits carefully on the confirmation screen.
