Sending money to South Africa?

You will need the recipient bank's SWIFT code. Ours is a free directory of every bank in South Africa, with the branch codes as well as the head office one.

Alaan's own payments product, SuperPay, sends from UAE dirhams rather than British Pound, and it is for business payments only. This page points at the SWIFT directory because that is the part we can actually help with on this pair.

GBP to ZAR questions

What is the GBP to ZAR rate today?expand_more

1 GBP is 21.8557 ZAR as of 12 October 2026 at 06:27 UTC. That is an indicative rate derived from our live quotes, and the same number the converter above uses. We do not currently send GBP, so treat it as a reference rather than a quote.

Why is my bank's rate different?expand_more

Banks quote you the mid-market rate plus a margin, and the margin is where they make their money on the transfer. A 3% margin on GBP 10,000 is GBP 300 that never appears as a fee on your statement. It just arrives as a smaller number at the other end.

How much is GBP 1,000 in ZAR?expand_more

GBP 1,000 is about 21,855.72 ZAR at today's rate. The table above has the other common amounts.

Can I send GBP to South Africa with Alaan?expand_more

Not this pair. SuperPay is Alaan's business payments product and it sends from UAE dirhams to 54 countries, so the GBP leg is the part that does not fit. It is also business only, for supplier invoices, contractors, and payroll rather than personal transfers.
