Just checked the rate comparing rates to send money to South Africa and the best deal seemed to be using ofx.com - however after spending 5-10 minutes creating an account it actually was 19.5856 to £1... See more

Easy, no hassle transaction. We had a problem getting the money out of my Canadian account, and the fxcompared agent was extremely helpful in getting it resolved. I will use thrir service again.

Responsive and efficient service

I got a responsive and efficient service from the Fx team. Just a pitty that service is limited to working hours. Sometimes Fx needs are urgent and if placed on a Friday afternoon this can mean you have to wait for an answer till the Monday.

One stop shop for comparing FX rates

Really useful, it's on my bookmarks bar. Gives a good indication of likely rates you will get from a range of FX firms and provides direct links into them. I haven't bothered to use any other comparison source since I discovered it.

Perfect experience

The process was explained to us at the start, we were kept updated throughout and the money arrived safely into our account. We recommend this company and will use again.

Helpful, reliable, and fast.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking to move money.

They gave me a very good rate of exchange and were very reliable.

When I had questions they were extremely helpful. They made what could have been quite stressful into a smooth and prompt transaction.

great way to find good rates for money transfer

I wanted to move my savings from Germany to the UK in order to put down a deposit for a house. When I saw which bad rates the banks would give me I tried to find a better way to transfer the money. After a google search I found the fxcompared website and through them found a money exchange company (The FX Firm) which in the end saved me about 2000GBP.

A very good service for someone using a currency firm for the first time.

Good communication, clear processes and very good customer service. Overall, a service I would recommend as someone who had never used a firm of this type before but was looking for an alternative to the charges levied by banks. I transferred funds from the UK to Canada for the purchase of a house and all went very smoothly.
