    I need in the near future to transfer money for a property purchase in Florida.

    Bad time to be doing this, but I am trying to get the best exchange rate and the safest method for doing this

    Appreciate any help form anyone who has done this.

    If you have a bank account in both Australia and in the US, you can simply use http://www.ozforex.com.au to move money from one account to the other.  You do it as a "deal" and your U.S. account would be the beneficiary of the deal.

    Hi Jacqui – thanks for that. I assume ozforex are a trusted company.

    I will check out their exchange rate.

    Yes I have a Wells Fargo account.

    Thanks again

    Used Ozorex for 5 years to send funds back to the UK and never had an issue.

    Very professional, service is excellent and rates are better than all of the Banks.

    Cheers

    Hi Another company is AFEX. Thy are very similar for ozforex. I have used them a number of times. They us the current exchange rate and lock it in and its costs you nothing.
