    Default Transfer of GB pounds to NZ$

    Hi,
    I've just starting transferring some funds from uk debit card to my sister's account in NZ, ready for my forthcoming 2 month holiday next Christmas. I used HiFx, I got a reasonable exchange rate and it was speedy too. Trouble is there was a $15 charge imposed by the receiving bank or some other intermediary bank. HiFx said they will refund this charge up until August 1 when their rules change. Therefore after August 1, HiFx are no better than most other transfer companies for value.

    Can anyone recommend any other companies for good rates, speedy transfers and no charges?

    Thanks

    Charlie

    I can't recommend RabbitFX hightly enough. They are very nice, good clear rates and very quick with no charges.

    But it's the banks making the charge, not HiFx. Just to clarify.
