Exchanging Money-wow Its Was So Easy!
Hi
Just thought I would mention that today I changed half of my savings into dollars using HIFX. I am very impressed with the service. For ages now I have been worried sick about how I was gonna get my money out to Oz. I didn't fancy walking through customs with £100,000 in my back pocket. Any way I have now managed to open a bank account in Oz, online with the CITIBANK and get 5.4% into the bargain and when I explained to HIFX that I wanted to take advantage of the high exchange rate but do not have the bank account open yet they said, No probs, just pay us %10 of the deal and we will hold it in trust with Barclays bank until your account is open! Then when we are ready they will transfer the funds and we pay them the balance-GREAT. It is so nice to finally have this part sorted! So if anyone has any worries like mine then please check the out-Oh and if you use them, please mention that Sindy Dowden reccommended you and they will send me a bottle of wine!!! |

Re: Exchanging Money-wow Its Was So Easy!
do you have to be an Auusie Citizen to open an account ? Can you open it remotely from the UK as a UK Citizen ?
thanks C |

[what im asking is "did it cost you ten grand to do this transaction 2 or was the amount a deposit for them to start the process and therefore how much did they charge you for the whole deal?/
thanks and sorry for the ignorance. alk |

I've just followed you lead and opened a citibank account. Just about to send the forms.
5.4% interest is pretty good, and is calculated daily and applied monthly so you get a better compound interest effect than having it applied annually like most of the UK accounts do. Thanks for the tip |
