Default Transferring money to Australia

I am attempting to start a travel business in Australia (actually simultaneously in New Zealand too) - its a long story but initially I need to convert my pounds into Oz dollars for set up costs and then I will will need to move money between the three countires (UK, Oz and NZ) on a weekly basis.

I know there are lots of companies out there who offer good exchange rates etc but what I really need is a company who can do it super quick - anyone got any recommendations?

Cheers

I also agree ozforex (ukforex) are pretty good. Just did a test run for £50 into my newly opened oz bank account. Transfered on a Friday and could see it online by Monday.

when we have moved back and forth from the Uk, always used a company called CurrencyUK. Fast, friendly and we saved money. Highly recommended

I just used Currency online. I am pretty happy with the rate. I compared the money I sent through the bank and through Currency Online, the difference is more than $400. I will never wire transfer through a bank anymore. Try them, Currencyonline.com. Let me know what you think.
