Estimates only, not live quotes. "Recipient Gets" is for a bank deposit funded from a bank account, on today's mid-market rate: for a "provider quote", minus the rate markup and fee from that provider's own recent quote; for an estimate, minus the provider's typical markup and fee. Rows are ranked by total cost, the fee plus the rate markup, so a fee charged on top of the amount sent counts against a provider even when its recipient gets more. Real cost varies by corridor, amount, delivery and payment method, and promotions (e.g. new-customer offers can be cheaper). Tap a provider to get its live rate before sending. The dot by each provider shows confidence, and the label says how the figure was grounded: "corridor estimate" is a rate we measured for this exact pair; a currency-code estimate (e.g. "USD estimate") is measured for that source currency but not this destination; "typical estimate" is the provider's general figure across all its corridors; "provider quote" is that provider's own recent quote for this pair, its markup and fee applied to today's mid-market rate exactly as its calculator shows them, and a provider whose quote depends on a payment or delivery choice is left out here and priced on its own calculator. Margins are verified against live provider quotes and the World Bank Remittance Prices database; the date above is the most recent collection. Some “Send money now” buttons are partner links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you, and rows are ranked by cost whatever the link.

GBP to JMD conversion table
Common amounts at the current mid-market rate of 1 GBP = 211.5241 JMD.
Mid-market rate: the midpoint banks trade at, before any provider adds a margin, from FastForex, a commercial exchange-rate data provider. What you actually receive is below; how we source rates.
What you actually get for 1,000 GBP
Nobody converts at the mid-market rate. At 1 GBP = 211.5241 JMD, a perfect conversion of 1,000 GBP would be 211,524 JMD. Here is what 7 services would really send, fee and exchange-rate margin included.
“Cheapest” is the lowest total cost to you, the fee plus the margin in the rate, not the largest payout. Taptap Send pays out more at a rate better than our mid-market reference, which we never rank cheapest; TransferGo pays out more on a dated estimate, which we never rank cheapest.
On 1,000 GBP, the gap between the best and worst option here is 6,954 JMD for the same money, converted on the same day. That difference is the fee plus the margin each service builds into its rate, and it is the only part of this page you can do anything about. How exchange-rate markups work.
Typical pricing for a bank-funded transfer to a bank account, not a live quote. Promotional offers and payment method can change it. Check the provider before sending. Where we price a service from its own recent quotes, its row uses the fee and rate margin from that quote. Some services we price from their own quotes are not in this table, because their quote for this pair depends on a payment or delivery choice or we hold none for it, so “cheapest” is among the services shown. Each is priced on its own calculator. Rows marked with a month are a provider's last measured price from that month, measured for this pair or, where marked GBP est., for GBP sends generally. No current quote stands behind them, so none is ranked cheapest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to send 1,000 GBP to JMD?
Between 7.76 and 38.16 GBP in fees and exchange-rate margin, across the 5 services with a current quote, so the recipient gets between 203,452 and 210,406 JMD. A perfect conversion at the mid-market rate (1 GBP = 211.5241 JMD) would be 211,524 JMD. Those are prices for a bank-funded transfer to a bank account, collected November 3–6, 2026, on today's mid-market rate.
What is the current GBP to JMD exchange rate?
The converter above shows the live mid-market rate. A transfer service converts at its own rate, which usually includes a margin over the mid-market rate, and may charge a fee on top, so less arrives than the mid-market figure suggests.
What is the cheapest way to send pounds to Jamaica?
Of the 5 services with a current quote for 1,000 GBP to JMD, MoneyGram costs the least: 7.76 GBP in fee and exchange-rate margin (0.78% of the amount), and the recipient gets 210,406 JMD. Paysend is next at 17.52 GBP (207,819 JMD). Those are prices for a bank-funded transfer to a bank account, collected November 3–6, 2026, on today's mid-market rate; the comparison on this page updates when you change the amount. Look at the Jamaican dollars that arrive, after the fee and the margin in the exchange rate, not the advertised fee alone. A service with no fee can still take a margin in its rate.
How long does a UK to Jamaica transfer take?
It depends on the service, how you pay and how the money is received. Each service shows its delivery estimate before you confirm, and transfers can take longer over weekends and public holidays in either country.
