Send money to Morocco, straight to any bank account
When you send money to Morocco through Grey, the transfer lands directly in your recipient's bank account. Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire, BMCE Bank of Africa, CIH Bank, and Societe Generale Maroc are all supported. Enter the account details, confirm the rate and fee, and send.
Your recipient does not need a Grey account. The MAD arrives in their banking app typically within minutes of you confirming. No branch visits, no agent queues.
The total cost of a transfer is the fee and the exchange rate together. Some services advertise zero fees but mark up the rate. On a £1,000 transfer, a 2% rate markup costs more than a £20 fee. Grey shows both numbers on the same screen before you tap Send.

How much does it cost to send money to Morocco
Every transfer from the UK to Morocco involves two costs: the visible fee and the exchange rate margin. Most high-street banks embed their margin in the rate and advertise zero fees. Grey shows both the rate and the fee before you confirm. The MAD amount your recipient receives is on screen before you tap Send.
How exchange rates work: GBP to MAD
The GBP-to-MAD exchange rate determines how many MAD your recipient receives. On a £500 transfer, a 1% difference in the rate changes what your recipient receives significantly. On monthly remittances, that gap compounds.
Grey shows the live GBP-to-MAD rate before you confirm. The rate on screen is the rate applied. No adjustment after you send.
Grey charges a 1% conversion fee on GBP-to-MAD transfers, uncapped. The withdrawal fee is $2.00 standard / $3.00 instant and displayed alongside the rate before you commit.
How fast is each provider?
Grey delivers to Moroccan bank accounts typically within minutes from a funded balance. Wise typically takes 1-2 business days. UK bank wires (SWIFT) take 3-5 business days and cost £20-40 in visible fees alone.
What your recipient sees in Morocco
Your recipient does not need a Grey account. The MAD arrives in their account as a standard credit. It appears the same way any domestic transfer would.
Bank account delivery
Grey sends to Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire, BMCE Bank of Africa, CIH Bank, and Societe Generale Maroc. Enter the account number in the Grey app. Withdrawal fee: $2.00 standard / $3.00 instant.
Transfer speed
Transfers from a funded Grey balance typically arrive within minutes. If funding via Faster Payments, allow the same day for the deposit to clear first.
GreyTag transfers
If your recipient has a Grey account, send via GreyTag instead. GreyTag transfers are free and arrive within seconds, in any currency.
Ways to fund your transfer
Whether you are transferring money to Morocco for the first time or the fiftieth, Grey gives you three funding options
Faster Payments
Fund your Grey account via Faster Payments from any UK bank. Processed the same day. Fee: 0.8% of the deposit amount, minimum £2, capped at £10.
BACS
Fund via BACS from your UK bank. Fee: £15 flat. Slower than Faster Payments but available from all UK banks.
Grey balance
If you already hold GBP in your Grey balance, you can send without waiting for a bank deposit to clear. Fund your balance in advance, and transfers go out immediately.
Which option is cheapest? Grey displays the fee for each funding method before you confirm, so you can compare and choose. There is no penalty for switching between them.
Send money to Morocco for every reason that matters
Family support
A Moroccan professional in London covering their parents' monthly expenses in Casablanca. A worker in Birmingham sending money to family every month. A student in Manchester supporting siblings back home. On a recurring £400 transfer, a 1% rate gap costs nearly £50 a year.
Housing and property
Paying rent on a property in Casablanca from a salary in the UK. Contributing to a family home purchase. Covering maintenance costs on a property while working abroad. Grey's rate and fee are both shown before you confirm.
Education
A parent in the UK covering university fees in Casablanca. Sending monthly allowance to a student studying back home. Regular, predictable transfers where the rate matters as much as the fee.
Business payments
A UK company paying a supplier, contractor, or team member in Morocco in MAD. A freelancer settling invoices with a UK client. Grey supports payments to Moroccan bank accounts without requiring a separate business account.
Your reasons may be different, but the need is the same: the money has to get there, the cost has to be clear, and the app has to work the same way it did last month. Do it all on Grey, with the rate and fee shown before every transfer.
