Cheapest way of sending £ to Oz??
Hi Guys
We want to send money over to my husbands Australian bank account. Does anyone know of the cheapest way to do this with the best rates etc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kathy

Hi Kathy. I lot of people including myself use Hifx. They offer very competitive rates and usually slightly better than banks, and they don't charge any fees.

I've used www.tranzfers.com which I think is owned by the company mentioned in the other reply. They're great I do it all online and just takes a few days get a good exchange rate too.

All a bit close now; John Masons arriving on the 31st.... We gave up on selling the house; market has completely died down here. Going to rent it instead...Good luck with everthing!
