Sending money home has never been faster—now with Opal Transfer, you can instantly transfer funds to loved ones across Europe in just 10 minutes, with no hidden fees.

Navigating the cost of living in the UK is crucial for immigrants seeking better opportunities, whether for education or career advancement.

Opal Transfer celebrates 20 years of moving your money with care and speed and making immigrants’ life abroad easier. A modern digital platform, a friendly mobile application with money transfers available 24/7, and a multilingual call centre in 4 countries are helping hundreds of thousands of customers to send money abroad to their loved ones.

Following the United Kingdom (UK) law and Opal Transfer internal policy, we are not allowed to send money to certain countries and regions.

In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the use of robots instead of people in the customer service departments of medium and big companies.

Whether you need assistance to schedule a flight, speak with a mobile company, or deal with money transfers, the first one to answer your question is a robot, easily called a chatbot or bot. Often when facing the simplest customer queries, the chatbots turned out worthless. The result: lots of clients felt frustrated, even disrespected.

Send money across Europe with Opal! Here, money transfers are fast, easy, reliable, and convenient, and speak your language. Find out what is all about.

You can pay our money transfer services in an easier, faster, and safer way! All you need to do is log into your Opal Transfer App or on our website, choose Bank Transfer as a payment method, and send the money to your receiver directly from your bank account.

For living or working in the United Kingdom temporarily or permanently, all EU or non-EU citizens need a Visa. Our team is happy to provide information and advice to all EU citizens that want either to relocate to the United Kingdom, either live here. In our role of community supporter, we are committed to improving the lives of our fellow expats. Find out what steps to follow if you plan to move, work, and experience life on British land. 

Moving abroad to start over or look for better opportunities is among the most daring journeys a person can take in life. Most of the time, that path is not easy but quite challenging. For those who believe in themselves and their ability to fulfil their dreams, just like our client Sebastian Mackowiak, that journey can be also exciting and rewarding.
