CheckRate compares Ugandan shilling (UGX) rates for transfers from Canada, the UK, the US and Europe. Fewer providers cover Uganda than Nigeria or Kenya, so the list on each route is short; the route pages show how often each one had the highest rate in our records. Payout options such as bank accounts or mobile money differ by provider, so check the recipient options in the app before you send.
Rates shown are the latest checked by CheckRate. Always confirm the final rate and fees on the provider's platform before sending. CheckRate does not handle your money; we compare so you can decide.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sending Money to Uganda
Which providers does CheckRate compare for sending money to Uganda?
From Canada (CAD): Taptap Send, LemFi and Remitly. From the UK (GBP): Taptap Send, LemFi and Remitly. From the US (USD): Taptap Send, LemFi and Remitly. From Europe (EUR): Taptap Send, Remitly and LemFi. A provider appears when its rate for that route has been collected within the last day, so the lists can change. CheckRate is not paid by these providers.
Which provider pays the most Ugandan shillings?
It depends on where you send from, and it changes. In CheckRate's records for the last 120 days (only days with at least three providers, Wise and promotional rates excluded), from Canada (CAD), LemFi had the highest standard rate on 30 of 75 days; from the UK (GBP), Taptap Send had the highest standard rate on 42 of 75 days; from the US (USD), LemFi had the highest standard rate on 42 of 75 days; from Europe (EUR), LemFi had the highest standard rate on 44 of 75 days. A transfer fee can change the order, so compare the amount received on the day you send.
Why do providers pay different amounts for the same transfer?
Each provider sets its own exchange rate, which is usually below the mid-market rate, and some add a transfer fee. CheckRate shows the estimated amount received after the fee we have on record, so you can compare like with like. The provider's app shows the final figure before you confirm.
