Hello

I'm wondering if anyone has recent experience in transferring cash from a bank in the UK to Australia? I've found a couple of companies on google so am looking for a recommendation or any other ideas. moneycorp and ozforex are the companies I've found.

It will be around £30-40,000

Cheers

Hi Guys

Apologies for not coming back here to thank you for the advice. I chose Halo in the end. It's a personal service with one advisor to talk to etc. They offered a better rate than Hifx and said they would always beat it.

I have had to send the cash in pieces to them due to limits from my bank but hopefully I'll see the cash this week in Oz.

Thanks again

Chop

Well the money has landed. I sent the final part of the transfer to them yesterday, Monday, at around 1630. I've travelled to Dubai overnight and the cash has hit my account. I received an email at 2050 Adelaide time so it has gone in sometime after that.

Nice quick service IMO. The only wait was due to sending them the money from my bank in portions.

I got a rate of 1.53. When I started this hunt a month ago it was only 1.42!! :O

If anyone wants the name of the particular trader I used then I can pass it on.

I have continued to use Halo and the service is fantastic.
