Currency transfer from Australia?
Currency transfer from Australia?
What is the best currency transfer service operating from Australia to England? Does anyone know, please? I think a lot of the big names, like Transferwise don't operate out of there? It is a better option than PayPal for me as then there is no fee added on at the receiving end. The Australian banks charge an arm and a leg, as I recall and then often the receiving fee is inflated as they use an intermediary bank, claiming to have a 'special relationship' for which my bank, aka me, has to pay.

Transferwise do now process transfers from Australian dollars to sterling, Felicity, though they do ask the sender to supply a copy of an ID document. https://transferwise.com/help/article/1 ... ingfromAUD
Up to now I've always used Paypal for Aussie and NZ guests - the fees are higher (5.2% plus 25 centimes, if I remember rightly) but much much less than bank transfers, for the reasons you've cited.
