Hello, My wife and i are moving to NZ, and need to transfer money to NZ

what's our best option..

we heard of moneycorp and travelex..

what about just a money transfer from my bank to one over there ??

which bank is best in terms of low commission for the transfer in NZ ?

THANKS!!

MrsFychan

wouldn't bother with bank to bank as it seems you don't get the best deals with them
I use HiFx, transfer my money into their UK bank (which happens to be Barclays) who then transfer it to my NZ bank, ANZ in a matter of days. all very simple. I do have a limit of 10K a day on my UK bank account so we just moved money across when we thought the exchange rate was good.
not going to be moving any more for a while by the looks of things

Moneycorp were our forex company and they were very good. Banks can be a bit useless as Mrs Fychan has said, they have a daily limit of 10,000 GBP maximum.

Moneycorp are professional currency brokers not just some bank drone is an overseas call centre.

hi ASB have a branch in London, you can transfer as much as you want in one go, and you could use it as a uk bank
