Transferring Money from USD to AUD best options?

[Deactivated] on 08/04/2017 - 23:27

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for transferring money from a US bank account to an Australia bank account? That amount is about $10,000 which converts to around $13329.

I've tried OFX and for $10,000 USD i'll get $13,033. It seems like they are making around $300 which seems like a lot to me, but' I've never really done this before. So i guess i'm wondering if this is a good rate, or if there are better websites or ways to go about doing it?

Thanks

Financial

    Transferwise - you get $13,220, or a fee of $84US

    It was coming up as 13,033 for me. Maybe i was doing something wrong. I was also thinking maybe cause the aus market is closed. I'll check again tomorrow

    My US bank just did a wire transfer bank to bank…cost me 27.00 USD. Talk to your US bank about a wire transfer and the fee for it.

      What rate did you get?

        I do not understand what "rate" your talking about I was charged a fee to wire the money. Maybe your talking about the conversion rates? They change daily and from place to place. I did not ask about the conversion rate, I was just pleased to pay only 27.00 USD. I think the money was sent in USD so it would have been my receiving bank that did the conversion on the day and it would have been the banks standard rate on the day.
