Xoom.ca
 
Has anyone used Xoom to transfer money from Canada to the UK.

I keep seeing them advertised and claiming they charge $4.99 per transaction.
Last time I transferred money from Canada to UK i used Moneycorp who charged me GBP15.

I need to transfer further monies in a couple of weeks and hoped to get peoples view on Xoom

Is Xoom.com affiliated/a subsidiary of a major financial institution? I would not give any company my money unless it could guarantee the safety of my funds.

Exactly!!
They might be cheap but unless I get some sort of decent feedback I will stick to the devil I know even if it does cost more.

When I ooked at xoom, the low fee transfer had to be from a US bank account. Not much good for transferring money from the UK.

The maximum allowed for the cheap rate is pretty low too...about $3000?
