Send money to the UK

Send GBP directly to a supported bank account. The recipient does not need Peanut.

An eligible, verified Peanut sender can transfer GBP from their balance directly to a supported bank account in the UK through Faster Payments. Enter the recipient's bank details and review the final quote. The bank recipient does not need a Peanut account or a Peanut Link.

Ask the recipient for an account that accepts GBP through Faster Payments. Confirm the account holder’s name and 6-digit sort code and 8-digit account number before you enter the transfer.

Check sender eligibility

The sender's verified residence and account determine access to Peanut bank transfers. A bank account's country does not establish eligibility by itself. New York residents are excluded from the relevant bank onboarding. Check that Faster Payments appears in your own account before you fund a transfer.

Fund your balance through an option shown in Peanut. A sending bank, wallet or exchange may apply charges and processing times. Use the exact instructions for that funding method; do not assume every sender can fund from the same bank rail.

    Enter at least £3. Check the recipient's name, account, currency, amount received and estimated timing.

Costs and timing

The digital-dollar balance converts to GBP. Conversion costs are included in the all-in quote; review the amount the recipient will receive. The receiving bank may apply its own charges.

Expected timing: settlement typically under 15 seconds, with the rail available 24/7. Bank checks or inaccurate information can cause delays. This estimate excludes funding your Peanut balance and is not an arrival guarantee. Transfers above $100,000 equivalent may require additional information. See pricing and the Faster Payments transfer guide for route details.

FAQ

Does the recipient need Peanut?

Not for the direct Faster Payments bank transfer. They provide a supported account; the sender uses an eligible verified Peanut account.

What currency reaches the bank?

This route sends GBP. Confirm that the recipient's bank account accepts it and ask the bank about any receiving or conversion charges.

Is the whole transfer free?

The digital-dollar balance converts to GBP. Conversion costs are included in the all-in quote; review the amount the recipient will receive. The receiving bank may apply its own charges. Funding your Peanut balance can also involve sender-side charges.

What if the bank payment is missing?

Keep the transaction reference, amount, time and recipient details. Check the status and contact support with the recipient's evidence; a completed app status alone is not proof of bank receipt.
