Mmmm, I booked a deal with Ozforex and the rate has just dropped a bit, and they have not phoned me to confirm the deal. I notice it says they are not bound until it is confirmed. Funny that they don't phone to confirm just as it is going down.

I tried to register with OzForex this morning, and got a message that says they are not excepting any more new registrations until after October 13th!! :(

Registered with HiFX instead... :thumbsup:

As we're not in a position to exchange any monies right now, will wait until after the 13th and register with OzForex then.

Currently at 2.61577

I transferred money this morning and have had a call to confirm. Give them a bit of slack though, the volume of transactions must be huge.

Not currently taking new accounts. You make a deal , nominate your Oz account, transfer your money to their UK account and the deal is done.

There are a few other companies around.
