Days are business days — a Saturday delays a same-day or next-day payout. These are ceilings, not typical times: within the window, how fast the money lands depends on the receiving bank.
We also pay out to the United Kingdom in EUR over SEPA (1% + $1.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $1.00 on business), and in USD over SWIFT (1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business).

Sending USD to the United Kingdom — FAQ
Speed
How long does it take to send USD to the United Kingdom?
Payments between Maash accounts land in seconds, and bank payouts arrive in real time over Faster Payments, the same business day over CHAPS, within two business days over Bacs, depending on your recipient’s bank details. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. Maash tells you when that happens.
Rate
How has the USD to GBP rate moved over this period?
Between 31 Jul 2026 – 20 Aug 2026 the mid-market rate fell 1.16%, with a low of 0.7330 and a high of 0.7444 GBP per US dollar. The rate is captured daily and shown at the mid-market rate with no markup.
Cost
How much does it cost to send money to the United Kingdom?
A payout to the United Kingdom in British pounds (GBP) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee on a personal account, or 0.5% plus $1.00 on a business account. Currency conversion uses the mid-market rate with no markup, and every fee is shown before you confirm.
Sending USD
Can I send US dollars to a bank account in the United Kingdom?
Yes, over SWIFT. The fee is 1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business — a payout in British pounds (GBP) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee instead, so a recipient with an account in British pounds usually pays less. Your recipient’s account must accept US dollars.
Safety
Is my money safe while the transfer is processing?
Yes. Your funds sit in your own account and only move when you confirm a transfer with your passkey. Maash can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. A review delays a transfer — it never takes your money.
Account
Can I open a Maash account in the United Kingdom?
Yes. The United Kingdom is one of the countries Maash can open an account from, so you can both hold US dollars and send to the United Kingdom. Identity verification applies, and some countries need additional checks; Maash lists every country it can open an account from on its supported-countries page.
