Step by step
- Compare what your recipient gets
Check the live table on this page. Providers differ on both fee and exchange rate, so rank them by what lands in Ghana, not by the fee alone. Right now the gap between the best and worst option on £100.00 is GH₵92.01.
- Open an account with the provider
Sign up on the provider's app or website. You'll verify your identity once, usually with a UK passport, driving licence or biometric residence card, plus sometimes proof of address. Many new-customer offers give a better rate on your first transfer.
- Add your recipient
Have the recipient's full name and either their mobile money number or bank and account number ready. Double-check the name matches their account exactly; mismatches are the most common reason transfers are held.
- Enter the amount and check the final figure
Type how much you're sending. Before you confirm, check the exact amount your recipient will get on the provider's summary screen, since rates move during the day.
- Pay and track the transfer
Pay with a UK debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or a bank transfer (Open Banking). You'll get a reference and status updates; send the reference to your recipient so they can follow it too.

Usually the exchange rate. A "zero fee" transfer can still cost more if the provider's rate is further from the mid-market rate. That's why we rank by what your recipient actually gets.
No. Ratenify compares providers; you always send on the provider's own app or website. We never hold your money.
