Can anyone recommend the best one to use to transfer money into a Westpac account?
Thanks Julie

I personally chose Ozforex,looked at HiFx as well.

Registered with OZforex and within 20mins of doing the online application I had a phone call from them to confirm everything.

Same again when I transferred fund to Westpac.

So far I can't fault them.

Ozforex. I also recommend you ditch the Westpac account. They almost went under a few years back and when the coming financial apocalypse arrives in Oz they will go under along with all your savings.

Pretty pessimistic I think! While of course possible, highly unlikely I think. I won't be making a withdrawl from my Westpac account to be on that!

Renth,
When the apocalypse arrives in Oz I am definitely going to move my savings and invest in it.

I think 'apocalypses' have broadly outperformed traditional unitised or with-profit saving vehicles over the last 50 odd years.

Also I think Evantel should reconsider his stance regarding not moving his money in the direction of apocalypse investments.

Good to see not eveyone is so bullish! The Australian economy is a bubble economy in many respects (commodity and asset prices are way into bubble territory) and will have a severe economic downturn at some point. It's picking when that is the hard part!

i've had a nightmare with HIFX they loose paper work and they dont explain things to you properly. Cutomers service is crap!!!!!!!!
I wou go with the other Ozforex

I've used both but only OzForex now, from choice.

What I have done is register with a few agents. Then when the time comes to transfer the funds I call each in turn ask for the best rate they can do that day an just take the best you can get with out admin fees of course. I have used Ozforex, Moneycorp and AFEX and been lucky enough to have no problems with any.

Problem is, the quotes change by the second so you will end up chasing your own tail <g>
