Default Foreign Exchange Transfers

Looking at a couple of companies who do money transfers between UK and Oz and was wondering whether people had any good experiences or recommendations against:
HIFX
UKFOREX
XE
RationalFX

Thanks in advance

Gary

Hi Gary,

We have always used Tranzfers (called Ozforex in Oz) and have found their rates to be good and their customer service to be excellent.

http://www.tranzfers.com/refer.asp?r=molloymj

Good luck with the move.

Mike.

They are the same company but offer different rates, apparently Ozforex are better for large amounts and tranzfers for smaller....

used OZFOREX/UKFOREX same company very helpful can look on line for rate or call them freephone in UK. Very helpful good rates would recommend.

You need to register forst though which takes time so get it sorted sooner rather than later. I registered a couple of months back but only used them last week.

Have used xetrade.com with no problems. Need to register so allow a couple of days for that, but once that's sorted everything has been fine. One of the good tings with them is you can do bids and forward deals, allowing you to speculate when you wish and also lock in preferred rates in advance.
