We used Halo financial.

Very good service and a good rate at the time. Only wish we were transfering our money now as the rate is tremendous

I've used HiFX and it worked fine. Got a rate just 1c below the inter-bank rate.

Before then I was using my bank (First Direct) which was really easy and really fast but the rate was more like 5c below the inter-bank.

Great, thanks for info. I know this might sound silly, but i take it these companies are safe to use, as if your transferring a good amount of money then its a good thing to be cautious i reckon.
So do they have to belong to any associations?
