HiFX Beware
As many of you may have noticed the exchange rate has risen. I purchased AUS dollars late last week with HiFX, who encouraged me to buy there and then as it was dropping as we spoke, in sheer panick that I would lose money I bought. But of course today it is far higher.
Just be aware that these companies will egg you on to buy as soon as they speak to you.
As you can see I am seriously p----- off

The best thing to do is forget about it once you have made the exchange and not dwell on the “if only I waited”.
Unless you have to have your money in Oz at a certain time, then I’d identify a mid-trend rate that suits your needs and wait for that rate to come around. Currencies will always fluctuate.
I agree, though, take the advice of those who benefit from your exchange with a pinch of salt.

I know you are right, and no I would not be concerned about their loss. But on the other hand these are our life savings.

Its pure luck though - if currency markets were that easy to read we'd be doing that for a job instead.
Fingers crossed your luck picks up from here.

We exchanged some money with them last week, i asked to be locked in at a certain rate and they rang me when it reached that rate, luckily i bought as the day later it dropped,, its swings and roundabouts with exchanging money and like other people have said once you have bought dont look back..
