My transaction involves changing A$ to UK Pounds Sterling where I am sending money from Australia to my daughter in UK. I had two experiences with OFX. The 1st experience involves 1,000 Pounds Sterling and it went smoothly - within 2-3 business days, the money was in my daughter's account. The 2nd experience (~7 weeks later) was completely different - it involves just over 10,000 Pounds Sterling (I used the 1st experience to gauge how good or bad OFX is). And based on my 1st experience I thought OFX was great. But the 2nd experience completely puts me off using OFX. Here is my story. OFX have NO idea that the money did NOT get into my daughter's account UNTIL I enquired about the transaction which is ~1 week later. As they have no idea, they then told me a day later that the bank require me to provide some more details of the sender which I promptly provided on the same day. Three business days later, the money has still not appeared on my daughter's account. Again I contacted OFX customer service but again they have no clue why this is taking so long. This is starting to get on my nerves so I needed to know 2 fundamental things - where is my money and when is it going to be in my daughter's account? OFX customer service cannot provide answers to these 2 fundamental questions. Alarm bells start to ring for me that if OFX cannot provide answers to these 2 questions, then they cannot be a professional outfit! Finally I managed to get onto the customer service supervisor who was at least able to answer one of my 2 questions. My money is with their (OFX) bank Barclays so it has NOT gone to the recipient's bank (NatWest) yet and this is some 2 weeks later. But she cannot provide an answer as to WHEN my money will get to my daughter's account. This is completely unacceptable and I told her so and forewarn her that OFX is about to lose a customer for good. She didn't sound too concern about this. Perhaps OFX has too many customers. As of now (2+ weeks later), my daughter is still waiting for my money to get into her account. How can this be acceptable when the OFX web site says "it usually takes 1-4 business days"? I am completely flabbergasted about the lack of competence of the OFX team when they are handling such large sums of money. I will let you be the judge as to whether you should use OFX. Clearly I will not be.

Hi Friends forget the Banks lengthy paperwork- Not to mention their fees ! Since discovering OFX - I never look back. Saves money and precious time. All my online scam suspicions were to no avail. These guys are great- They gained my full trust in no time- security is second to none - Once you have passed necessary registration...... you are safe off and flying- can't go wrong.....

I would like to tell my story of trying to make a simple via OFX. Because either poor design or some glitch, my monies failed to be transferred overseas and worse, OFX people waited a whole month to inform me. This is bad. Because there$we for a workshop receiving many others' fees, the director assumed my payment was one of the transfers, when I told her it was sent. I had to cancel my trip when my mother of 90 fell ill and later died. The workshop director graciously wired my money back. To my horror, I discovered OFX never sent money over originally, so I informed the director and had to try again to send money back. But first I was so upset that my money was being held by ofx for the entire month I asked for the$ to be sent back to my bank. The kids at OFX were nice but incompetent I felt. Not all mind you but several I talked to couldn't figure it out. my bank charges a $15 transfer/wire fee each time which By the end, I lost $60 in bank transfer fees and even more in exchange rate fees. All because OFX didn't inform me that my money was never sent for a whole month! This is not acceptable nor ethical. I cannot recommend OFX or leave a favorable review.

Used to be the best, now, just "meh." Rates are barely competitive and that's only if you haggle for price. They won't send funds to this or that company. It truly is getting more and more difficult to do business with them.

I found the whole process simple and easy to use once I learnt how to use the ofx app which was easy to do thanks to a great app. Customer service over the phone was fantastic, and the person who helped me get set up made me feel very comfortable in the process and the choice to use ofx. It was a choice between ofx and western union and I'm glad I chose ofx, and will continue to use ofx in the future. Many thanks for an easy pleasant transaction

Wow. I was purchasing a product direct from China. I had issues with another company and then someone recommended OFX. Their rates were great so I filled in questionnaire and within seconds Portman Ma phoned me to validate. I then went onto make my purchase and then realised I had made a mistake. I quickly emailed Portman Ma and he called me back and calmly rectified my error. No hassle, straight forward transaction as should be. Thank you for your assistance and I will use you again. j

I was a bit worried at first, and sent £100 using my own bank’s wire service and £100 using OFX. Using my own bank I was charged £25, and $16 at the receiving bank account. Using OFX I wasn’t charged, and had a better exchange rate! It was also quicker than my own bank wire transfer too! My only problem, which is nothing to do with OFX, is that my receiving US bank charged $15. So my advice is to check out your receiving banks’ charges for domestic wire transfers. I will definitely use OFX again, but for more than £100 next time!

Really thats your response below.Here is my response I get payed in US dollars into Natwest Bank which is registered in the UK.The reason why it is registered in the UK is because that is my home.I have a British Passport/Driving license/bank account.I have used your services for years because you were giving me more money than my bank.That is your business you are in.I have now opened an account with XE and guess what They have no problem with that.I would recommend XE over this company anytime.A million times better wish I had used them years ago.There system is way better than yours by a long shot.Are your customer services real people or robots? Very annoyed EX customer Hi Ivan, We truly apologize for the inconvenience. As you've stated, you’ve been a loyal customer for many years and we’d love nothing more than to keep your business and continue servicing your transfer needs. However, our regulatory requirements and internal policies dictate that all of our clientele must satisfy our compliance requirements, especially when domiciled in a high risk or sanctioned jurisdiction. As I’m sure you can understand, this keeps the service safe and secure for not only you, but every one of our users. We hate to see you go but hope you can understand the reasoning behind our Certified Document request. Kind regards, The OFX Team

Being new to this sort of transfer it did seem a bit complicated to just put some money into my overseas account. Being able to load funds using a debit card was nice feature, pity it is not available from the mobile app. I was a bit surprised to get a call from a real person to confirm the details, but it was reassuring. Unfortunately there was some doubt over whether I had sent funds, I assume this is because I set things up over the weekend and my debit card transaction did not complete till the Monday. In the end the funds duly appeared in my overseas account. A great rate and I will use again
