Philip and Lorraine, parents supporting with overseas education

By using OFX, we save around 5% on every transaction compared to using our bank. It all adds up, and we would much rather top up Monica’s allowance, so she can pay her rent, rather than pay the bank. Thank you OFX!

Sheridan, British expat in Australia

When I first came out to Australia I was using my bank to transfer my pension but it is a painful process. I researched transferring pensions and found OFX. The rates were very good, the charges zero and the whole process was very efficient.

Gaille, Australian studying in America

I had never transferred money overseas before, OFX staff explained the process clearly and helped me feel 100% confident and reassured in its security.
