    International money transfers are the most secure.

    As for best bank in Australia, I'm not sure anyone in the UK can answer that unless they happened to have done the same thing.

    I have used https://www.ozforex.com.au to make international ad hoc payments for several years now. Never had a problem. It is cheap and the exchange rate competitive
  • Hello,
    I am a real estate agent from the US but resident and working in the Brazilian market with foreign property buyers, mostly Europeans and Americans. I'm researching the different means by which relatively large amounts can be transferred from the US and/or Europe to Brazil - cheaply, easily, quickly and safely. Any advice is helpful as the Brazilian banking system is quite complex and does not facilitate the ease of money transfers - non-Brazilian residents, for example can not open a bank account in Brazil.

    Thank you,
    Todd Smitala
