currency fair

SophieG

I'm moving to Australia tomorrow and have a substantial amount of money to transfer over between myself and my partner. I'm just wondering if currency fair is the best way to go and is it reliable with such large amounts of money. Want to be safe as its all our savings for the past couple of years.

100% reliable. Absolutely love currency fair I've been to Oz a couple of times and moving back in September, saved me literally thousands over last few years. Get signed up ASAP as they require some information that needs to be scanned across. Also best to do transfers to currency fair in the bank if it's a large amount. Some Internet banking only allows 5000 per day.

Have you got accounts set up on the other end?

Have currency fair account set up and linked with an Irish account. Have to set up an account in Australia tomorrow when we arrive. after that I think it's just a matter of sending the money through CF so just wanted to make sure the money won't go missing when we transfer into currency fair. Thanks, I appreciate your help!

Use with confidence. A great service.

Also look at transferwise, an alternative. I think it's quicker to set up and get an account activated with them, as they don't require you to post a scan of your passport.

All the best for your move.

Will I need to scan passports with currency fair?

I did. May have changed since I joined though.

Have used CF for a few years and find them great. Best rate best transfer fees and no hassle once set up. Dont forget you have to notify CF once you initiate a transfer so they know its coming. All pretty straight forward then and pretty quick overnight in Aus once its in CF.
If you have worries just do a few smaller transfers to spread it out but you should have no concerns

Hi Guys,

I wish to set up a currencyfair account. Does someone want to refer me? I think there is an offer where both the refer and referee get €15 and a free trade.
