As one of the world's recognized experts, OFX offers seamless 24-hour access to corporate and private client dealers for all our customers. OFX employs a blend of cutting edge technology and superb customer service to bring a better deal to corporate and private customers alike.
Why should I choose OFX to transfer money?
The most compelling reason is a better exchange rate. For private client transfers we regularly save customers thousands of dollars, and for bigger transfers, the savings can run into the tens of thousands.

Will my money be safe?
OFX holds client funds in accounts with highly rated financial institutions. In addition, OFX operates an extremely low risk business model whereby OFX never pays out client funds prior to receipt of the currency the client has sold to us. This ensures OFX has zero default risk from client dealings.
OFX is also registered as a Money Service Business at the federal level with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), which is a bureau of the United States Department of Treasury and is licensed as a money transmitter by relevant state regulatory agencies in the U.S.
