It’s recognition like this that reinforces what over 1 million clients already know: when it comes to moving money across borders with confidence, OFX is a trusted ally. This award reflects our dedication to fast, secure transfers at great rates, and the expertise that helps you stay in control, even when markets move fast.

The FX landscape is evolving rapidly, but our focus remains the same: providing a better, fairer way to move money. From multi-currency accounts and automated payment workflows to corporate cards and FX risk management support, OFX is building an innovative financial platform for all of your FX needs including:

  • Forward Contracts*- If you are looking to protect your business against a future rate change, a forward contract is for you. Lock in a rate for an agreed amount of time so that you can make or receive payments without blowing your budget due to rate movements. 
  • Limit OrdersThis is another risk management option that allows you to set the rate you are comfortable with and, once the exchange rate hits that point, an FX specialist will get in touch to let you know it’s time to complete your transfer.
  • Currency OutlookOur monthly Currency Outlook brings together insights from our treasury experts with key market movements and global events to provide a clear view of projected currency trends.
  • Spot Transfers A Spot Transfer is an instant exchange that you make “on the spot”. OFX will show you the two currencies and a highly competitive rate, updated in real-time. 
  • OFX’s Global Business Account In addition to our FX products, OFX offers a Global Business Account that combines with Corporate Cards to create a single airtight expense control system.

*If you book a Forward Contract, it may mean losing out if the market rate improves because you’re contracted to settle at the agreed rate. Read more.

Together, these capabilities and the OFX Global Financial Platform help manage currency exposure, improve cash flow, and support smarter financial decisions. It’s this combination of powerful technology and human expertise that CNBC Select identified as setting OFX apart in a crowded global payments landscape.

That recognition reflects what our clients experience every day: a simpler, more transparent way to move and manage money globally. And as we continue to innovate and expand, our commitment remains unchanged, helping you save time, reduce complexity, and keep more of your money.
