Default Best Way of Transferring British Pounds to Australia
Hi,

Could anybody give me some suggestions about the best way to transfer money to Oz? By this I mean an easy route and getting the best exchange rate.

+2 for Ozforex. We've used them a few times and once your account is set up it's easy to use and great rates.

Is it a good deal of money then +3 for ozforex. If less then +1 Tranzfers.

For any holidays money I recomment Travelex passport visa card (not a cc)

kew100 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Best Way of Transferring British Pounds to Australia
If you are doing frequent transfers, consider setting up a Citibank account in both Aust and in the UK. This is what i have done, after much 'searching' fr good solutions. They do free international transfers. Saves a heap of money and time, as the electronic transfer is almost immediate.

Regards

Reliability + Rates = OzForex

I doubt that any banks could come close to matching the OzForex rate.
And once setup, transfers take a couple of days.

I use them on a regular basis.
