Tips to maximise remittances to India

The FX markup (hidden margin built into the exchange rate) often costs more than the flat fee. A provider with zero fee but a 3% markup on a £5,000 transfer costs you £150 — far more than a £10 flat fee at 0.5% markup.

For regular transfers (rental income, family maintenance), set up recurring transfers on Wise or Remitly to lock in better rates. Transfers to NRE accounts are tax-free in India and fully repatriable.
