• Service fee. The amount of money a money transfer service charges to send will vary depending on the amount of money being sent, how it is being delivered, and how the transaction is being funded.
• Collection fee. Charged by the service to collect cash.
• Delivery fee. Charged by the service to have cash delivered to the recipient’s address.
• Cash advance fee. Charged by the credit card issuer when funding a money transfer. The cash advance rate will be applied in addition.
• Exchange rate. A poor exchange rate will affect how much your recipient will get, especially for large transfers.

If you prefer not to use an online money transfer service, here are other methods for sending money to Georgia.

• Bank transfer. You can send a bank transfer to Georgia from the UK using your existing banking, although it will almost certainly be more expensive and slower.
• Crypto. If the recipient can accept crypto, this is a cheap and fast alternative to a money transfer service. Sending a stablecoin reduces exposure to price volatility. Once the crypto is in the recipient's wallet, they can decide whether to hold it there or withdraw it to a bank account.
• Money orders. A tried and tested way to remit money internationally, but it is one of the slower options available.
• Money transfer agents. Convenient if you do not have a bank account or want to use cash. Recipients can collect from a money transfer agent local to them.
• Prepaid cards. Inappropriate for large transfers but can be used to send relatively small amounts of money.
