HiFX
Folks,
Does anyone on here use HiFX for regular money transfers? I normally remit CAD to GBP each month, using the telephone broking service. Recently I had emails advising that HiFX was now called Currency Online and giving me a temporary password for the service. I called up HiFX and was told that the service was legitimate, but I just want to check if anyone else has safely used this new online service before I commit money away by a few mouse clicks. Don't want it ending up in some Lagos account! Thanks in advance. |

Re: HiFX
I haven't used the new new currency online service, but I have used HIFX numerous times in the last year, transferring CAD to GBP, and have always found them to be very efficient.

Re: HiFX
Interesting.. do you have a link to any further information?
I have used HiFX recently to transfer money from my UK account to my Canadian account. (Amount was less than £10000 so used the online service.) Money arrived no problem and fairly quickly, (2-3 days). I've only used them once, but spoken to them on the phone a few times and haven't had any issues. |
Re: HiFX
Over in the UK HiFx is a registered MSB with HM Revenue & Customs (Reg No: 12131222).
HiFX Financial Services Ltd-Authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FRN No: 446302). HiFX Insurance Services Ltd-Authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FRN No: 313199). I have used them a number of times for transfers into our Canadian account, no problems, just cannot understand why CIBC charges to receive electronic transfers |

I asked my bank (TD) the same thing, turns out that you can receive funds via "bank transfer", which appears to be on different from a "wire transfer" except there are no fees. All very strange, but have done this a couple of times when using Customs House fx brokers... |

That was ward naughton's first post on this site, hence you have to wonder about his/her motives. HiFX have a vendor forum on this site so I suggest if any of you have any concerns or questions you should post in there and I'm sure someone from their company would be happy to answer your questions.

Re: HiFX
I transferred $15000 CDN online last week using the hifx online service (havent heard anything about their new name!). I ordered it at 4pm Thursday and it was in my BMO account on Friday pm. Used it for a condo deposit on Monday :) No charges or problems at all either end.
