Who gives the best exchange rates?
Hi guys, i was just wondering if anyone knows of any great currency exchanges with the best rate please? We have been looking and they all vary from 1.39 to 1.51, obviously we wouldn't entertain the lowest but does anyone know of any better? Or maybe of any with the same so we can compare, many thanks in advance, Sarah.

Re: Who gives the best exchange rates?
We've always used Ozforex and have been very happy with the rates and service (and time to transfer). When we first moved over we did a small transfer with our bank and the rates were terrible and it took almost a week. Thank goodness I was only moving a small amount.
After that it's been Ozforex every time we needed to transfer money. We even used them when relatives were coming over for a visit so they'd get better rates too.
