Send money from Uganda to the UK.

The short answer

The UK-Uganda corridor runs both directions on Eversend, and this page is the outbound half: shillings from MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or a Ugandan bank, arriving as pounds in any UK account. Our Ugandan entity is regulated by the Bank of Uganda, sending out is covered, and the UGX to GBP rate never hides.
