Save Money on Currency Exchange!
Connect with our “Mates Rates” on Foreign Exchange!
Do you want to save every time you transfer money internationally? There is a lot of noise about which company has the best rate on international wire transfers.
If you are an existing OFX customer, email [email protected] to associate your account with our Preferred Rate.
Members of our organization transfer millions of dollars overseas every year for business and personal needs. Therefore, based on this volume, a preferred currency exchange rate on international wire transfers has been negotiated with OFX for multiple currencies!
“If you are using a Bank to transfer money overseas, you are most likely paying way too much in fees!”

1. Open a FREE Account
Use the above link to register, verify, and access The Australian Community’s Preferred FOREX Rate with OFX.

However, cash, credit cards, cheques, or bank drafts are not accepted.

There is a small commission in our rate which is the difference between the Spot or Market Rate. However, if you compare our rates to your current FOREX Service, you can see how much money you could be saving! We always recommend you do your Due Diligence before making any financial transaction.
