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

quick & easy comparison site

makes life easier looking around at rates. just double check with FSA that who ever you choose regulated. and doubly sure you use contact details on FSA site to make sure you're not misdirected to a cloned site! Be careful out there! :)

Usedom Service, but I did find a better rate elsewhere

I was really happy to discover your comparison website online, and looked at several of the companies listed, even registering with two. I did some research over and beyond the recommended companies though and found another financial trading company that offered even better rates than the ones listed on FXCompared. After I had concluded the deal with the other company, one of the companies listed on FXCompared came back to me to ask whether I needed help with the trade. When I said I had decided on another company they suddenly talked of a better rate they could offer....

Good service, financial transaction successful

Thr company was recommended to me by my son in Australia. I wasn't able to do the transaction on the company's website as I couldn't download the correct script. However Leigh helped me to do the transaction another way, he was very helpful and I was still able to use the service successfully.

Excellent for One Off Transfers

After registering I was being given a less favourable exchange rate but after a quick phone call they offered me the fx compared rate. I was told that it would only work for the first transfer though.

Excellant! Worth Your Time

Prior to using the fxcompared website I though my only choice for moving funds from the USA to UK was through my bank. The options identified on the website were worth my time and effort...and reduced my FX costs, which means I keep more of my cash for my own use. Thank you!!!

Helpful, quick and easy

I found the service to be really efficient, easy to use and quick. From filling in the registration form to receiving the money there was no delay. I used the service a few days before Christmas and expected that the money might be delayed because of the time of year. I was pleasantly surprised the transaction all took place in a day.
Would definitely recommend.

All UK and no US.

Very disappointed. It would be a very valuable service if they provide comparison of the US companies. I want convert USD, not UKD.

Dear Aimao
Thank you for your note. We have many providers who can transfer funds from the US. We are sorry you could not find these options through the search table. Please come back to the site and you will be able to see them

Thank you
