About Rupeeto: Transparency in GBP to INR Money Transfers

Our Mission: To help people send money to India with complete transparency by showing the best GBP to INR rates across all major providers.

What is Rupeeto?

Rupeeto is a real-time comparison platform that helps you find the best GBP to INR exchange rates when sending money from the UK to India. We compare rates and fees from 6+ providers including Wise, Remitly, ICICI Money2India, Western Union, SBI UK, and Instarem.

Unlike other comparison sites that show misleading "starting from" rates, we show you the exact true cost you'll pay - including all fees and margin markups. This makes it easy to see which provider genuinely offers the best deal for your transfer.

Why We Built Rupeeto

When sending money to India, most people check one or two familiar providers like Wise or Western Union. But GBP to INR rates vary significantly throughout the day, and the difference between providers can be hundreds of pounds on larger transfers.

We built Rupeeto because:

How Rupeeto Works

1. We Fetch Live Rates Every 15 Minutes

Our system automatically pulls data from each provider's public API or calculator. This happens every 15 minutes for common transfer amounts (£500, £1000, £2000, £5000, £10000). You can also check any custom amount on our homepage.

2. We Calculate the True Cost

For each provider, we calculate exactly how many rupees the recipient will receive after all fees and margins. This "true cost" approach means you can compare apples-to-apples, without being misled by advertised rates that don't include fees.

3. We Show You the Results

Our comparison table shows:

4. You Choose and Transfer

When you find the best rate, click through to complete your transfer on the provider's secure website. We earn a small referral commission (which never affects the rates shown), and you save money by getting the best GBP to INR rate available.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe transparency builds trust. Here's what we promise:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Rupeeto regulated?
Rupeeto is a comparison platform, not a money transfer provider, so we don't require regulation. All providers we compare are FCA-regulated or authorized money transfer operators.
Q: Can I trust the rates shown?
Absolutely. We fetch rates directly from providers' public APIs. We have no incentive to show false rates as our commission is identical regardless of which provider you choose. Our goal is accurate information.
Q: Why do rates vary so much between providers?
Each provider adds their own margin to the mid-market GBP to INR rate and charges different fees. Banks typically add 3-5% margin while specialized services like Wise add less than 1%. This is why comparison saves money.
Q: How much can I save using Rupeeto?
It depends on the amount. For a £5,000 transfer, the difference between the best and worst provider can be £200-300. Even for smaller amounts like £500, you might save £20-30.
Q: Do you compare transfer speeds?
Yes. Our comparison shows both the GBP to INR rate and transfer speed. Some providers offer instant transfers at slightly higher cost while others take 1-2 days but offer better rates.
Q: Why focus only on GBP to INR?
By focusing on the UK to India corridor, we can provide more accurate, frequent updates and better understand the nuances of this specific route. We may expand to other currency pairs in future.
Q: How often should I check Rupeeto?
GBP to INR rates fluctuate throughout the day. If you're flexible on timing, check Rupeeto when you're ready to send. For urgent transfers, use our current comparison to find the best available rate.
Q: Are there transfer limits?
Most providers support £1 to £100,000 transfers. Some have minimum amounts (usually £100). India allows inward remittances up to $250,000 per year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme.
Q: Will providers honor the rates shown on Rupeeto?
We show live rates pulled directly from providers' systems. However, rates can change between when you check Rupeeto and when you complete your transfer. Always verify the final rate on the provider's checkout page.
Q: Can I use Rupeeto for business transfers?
Yes, many people use Rupeeto to compare rates for business transfers to India. However, some providers listed are primarily for personal transfers. Check each provider's terms for business account requirements.
