Please view our comparison table of Foreign Exchange companies below. These are specialists on the foreign exchange market and can offer all Australians the very best exchange rates available – far better than the ones offered at traditional high street banks. The companies you see below buy and sell currency take a much lower margin from the inter-bank rates – whereas a regular bank charge a margin as high as 5% plus extra fees on top (such as commission).

You can use a foreign exchange company for a whole range of activities, from paying an overseas mortgage, paying for international goods, paying staff based in other countries to simply sending money to someone in the family. Whatever your reason a foreign exchange company is highly qualified to handle large amounts of money efficiently and securely.

CORPORATE CLIENTS - FOREIGN EXCHANGE >>

You MUST apply through this site to guarantee any rate, spread, fee or margin listed

Note that these companies are best for larger transfers and transactions. Depending on the company, they will be able to carry out the transfer for free. If the amount you are sending falls below a benchmark (around $10,000) then you may be charged up to $10 to make the transfer. There are various factors to look out for when choosing a Foreign Exchange company. Check what currencies they can deal and what the transfer options are.

6. Hedging strategies.
7. Currency Options.
 
Orders Available Stop Loss Order: A stop loss order is a means of limiting your risk from adverse exchange rates. A currency level is set. If that currency level is reached, the trade is automatically executed in the market. The currency level used for a stop loss order is always worse than the current market price. This is a way to protect yourself from adverse changes in exchange rates without needing to constantly monitor the rate.
 
Take Profit Order: Like a stop loss order, a take profit order first involves setting a currency level. Once that currency level is reached, the trade is executed in the market. The currency level used for a take profit order is always better than the current market price. This is a way to capitalise on improvements in exchange rates without needing to constantly monitor the rate.
 
OCO - "One Cancels Other": A combination of a 'Stop Loss' order and a 'Take Profit' order. When one of these two orders is executed, the other order is automatically cancelled. Order: You can leave an "order" with us to transact on your behalf if a particular exchange rate is reached.
 
GTC - Good Till Cancelled: A GTC foreign exchange order will be left in the market until executed or cancelled by you.

Key Facts

1. In 2007 TorFX transacted over $500 million in foreign exchange.
2. Hundreds of UK companies use TorFX for currency transactions and advice.
3. Member of the Association of International Property Professionals.
4. Regulated by HM Revenue & Customs.
5. Segregated client accounts held with Barclays Bank Plc.


Advantages

Advantages

1. Save Money - Many individuals and businesses still use their bank for foreign exchange transactions, resulting in poor exchange rates, a lack of personal service, and a "one size fits all" approach. Due to our established relationships in the "inter-bank" foreign exchange market, TorFX is able to offer wholesale rates of exchange on transactions over £5,000. The average saving made by our clients on a transaction of £100,000, is 1.9%, or £1,900.
 
2. Avoid Exchange Rate Fluctuations - Because exchange rates change by the second it would be almost impossible to forecast exactly what the rate would be when your transaction is processed. You may have negotiated the best price for your purchase, but it could easily be offset by a slight change in the exchange rate. TorFX can fix the exchange rate for you for up to two years which will protect you from future rate movements, helping you stick to your budget!
 
3. Market Expertise - Senior dealing staff are drawn from financial market and banking backgrounds, bringing extensive knowledge of the foreign exchange markets. With MSTA qualified currency analysts on hand to discuss your transaction, and keep you informed, you can be sure that you will receive the information you need in a professional and timely manner.
 
4. Excellent Services - In addition to providing you with a preferential exchange rate, TorFX also offer a variety of dealing mechanisms to help you optimize your transaction. Forward contracts, limit orders and stop orders are excellent ways of ensuring that you get the most currency for your money. Our free market analysis could also give you the edge you need to secure a better rate.
 
5. Security of Funds - TorFX is regulated by HM Revenue&Customs (no: 12191606), and is a member of the UK Money Transmitters Association. All client funds are held in client segregated accounts with our banking partner, Barclays Bank PLC.
 
6. Personal Service - Each client is allocated their own personal account manager who will guide them through every stage of their foreign currency transaction. Our friendly dealers will keep you informed as often as you wish, by email or telephone, and will do everything possible to help you get the most from your transaction. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile, because unlike the "one size fits all" approach of the high street banks, we believe that our customers deserve a high level of service when making large currency transfers.
 
7. No Commission
 
8. Fast International Transfers - TorFX will send your currency to its destination free of charge, by TT/CHAPS. We can pay your solicitor, vendor, notary or supplier direct, saving you time and money. Our same day international payments are fast, reliable and free*. We can also provide you with an internationally recognised payment confirmation as soon as your currency has been sent.
 
9. Free Account Opening Facilities - Opening an account is free of charge, there is no obligation to trade, and you will not be charged any administration charges for maintaining your account.
 
10. No Obligation Quotations - You can get instant dealing quotes from your account manager by telephone or email. The bank will often refuse to give a live quote, or will not inform you of your exchange rate until later. Even worse, they may offer you the "tourist" rate of exchange, whereas on a large transaction, you should be offered a far better quote. TorFX provide live, transparent quotes based on the amount of currency you are sending, so you truly know where you stand, and can budget accordingly.
