Foreign exchange services

I'm currently using Worldwide Currencies to change between UK£, US$ and AU$, and their service is OK and rates good, BUT I'm about to emigrate and hence would rather have a firm that let's me do this fully online rather than faxing forms back and forward for a trade...which WWC don't.

They also seem to have lowered the rates they'll give for transactions under £10k, and as I will have a need to do a monthly £3-4k exchange, this isn't good either. Their rates for £10k and above though, are very good - no transfer charges and usually only 2 points or so off the spot rate of the day.

Any recommendations for this type of service with similarly good rates and no fees?

Thx!

  • Have you tried making enquiries with Justeuros.co.uk, as a regular user of their services I am happy to recommend them. I make regular payments to the states and simply set up a standing order between my bank and theirs, once the intial account registration docs were in place I didn't even need to make monthly payment instructions for this particular account as they knew to forward my sterling funds upon receipt, they simply email me each month with the trade contract advice.
    I have also used OnlineFX in the past, their rates are also pretty good. Currencies Direct have been mentioned on this site quite a bit too, though to be fair I have not personally used them.
    Good luck with the emigration (lucky chap!!)
