When you use our Limit Order tool, OFXperts monitor the market for you. This helps ensure you don’t miss out on your targeted exchange rate if it is hit. Find more details about Limit Orders here.
If you book a Limit Order, it may mean losing out if the market rate continues to move above your target rate. Read more. There is no guarantee that your desired rate will be reached.

When you transfer your funds to us via a bank transfer, you will need to include your Client Reference Number when making the bank transfer. This is required so we know who the money has come from. This number will be included in the confirmation email sent to you after you book your transfer. Your Client Reference Number is unique to you for all your transfers in every currency.
You can also find it by logging into your OFX account, going to the “Account Details” tab, and selecting an available currency. Your unique Client Reference Number will be next to “Reference” on the last line of every bank account. We’ve made it easy to keep track of your Client Reference Number. You can save the details in your online banking biller list. Once you save the details on your online banking, it is the same every time.
Our OFX Customer Rate is an estimated rate that is based off the current Market Rate and includes our margin but excludes any fees (if applicable).
Each OFX Customer may get a different rate depending on the Market Rate; the value of their transfer; how often they transfer; and or the currency pairing of their transfer.

An NCC, otherwise known as a National Clearing Code or Routing Number, is an identification code used by banks to ensure accurate and secure money transfers.
NCCs are required when transferring to bank accounts that don’t have an International Bank Account Number (IBAN). National Clearing Codes are most often used when making transfers outside of the EU, including to the United States, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia.

A BSC, or Bank Sort Code, is a unique 6-digit code that identifies banks and branches throughout the United Kingdom. It can be compared to the American Bankers Association (ABA) number that’s used in the United States or a Bank State Branch (BSB) number used in Australia. The first two numbers in the code indicate the bank, while the remaining four numbers identify the branch. This ensures that your money will go exactly where it needs to go, and it will move swiftly and securely from your bank to your recipient’s bank.
You can find a BSC either on your bank statement, your online banking account, or on the back of your debit card. You should ask the recipient of your funds to provide you with their bank’s BSC so you have all the necessary information to transfer funds easily and quickly. Whether you are transferring money into the UK from another country or you are transferring money from one bank to another within the UK, you will need to provide a BSC.
SEPA or the Single Euro Payments Area, is a European Union initiative that aims to make cashless euro payments easier within the countries that are part of SEPA.
When you send your money to OFX from a SEPA country, it should cost the same as a local transfer (in most cases that means it’s free.) Inter-European SEPA transfers typically have no bank charges on the recipient’s end as well, however, some banks charge a fee to receive SEPA transfers. SEPA transfers with OFX are usually delivered the same business day or the following business day.

Unlike the routing number, your account number will be unique, as it will identify your bank account.
To locate your account number, you can look at your bank statements, or you can look at your checks again, as it will be the second set of numbers at the bottom. Usually, an account number will be 10-12 digits long, but its length could vary from one bank to another.
Sometimes, the account number and check number are reversed, so your account number will be found on the right side of the bottom of your check, as opposed to in the middle. You’ll know the difference because the check number will be shorter.
When in doubt, contact your bank
