If any of you have done this who did you get the best deal from?
I have juts looked at transferring some cash back using kiwibank but its not a great rate.

How easy is it to use a different company?

Banks will give you a shaved rate on a large IMT, might be worth getting on the blower.

Used moneycorp to NZ yet to go the other way so can't comment that way, but no worries for me. good rate no complaints

Check out OMF Financial in Auckland. http://www.OMF.co.nz. They are an investment house, but their FX rates are far better than the banks. Usually they want to do $50,000 deals or greater, but once you become a good client they do smaller transactions as well. You can set up remotely with the right ID, but be aware the new anti-money laundering act is making it more difficult to set up bank accounts remotely.

PS: We have no connection with them other than as a customer.

Definitely search around for an foreign exchange broker, they'll be able to beat the banks / post office on the exchange rate by up to 4%
