Direct FX Ltd - Wholesale Currency Transfer Specialists

Currency transfers become necessary for many reasons. Often the need is greatest when moving between countries, due to the sale or purchase of property assets. Significant amounts of one currency may then need to be sold, to transfer money to another country. 

However arranging currency transfers such as these via a traditional banking relationship can often be expensive and time consuming.

Direct FX is a non bank financial intermediary. When making currency transfers they are an alternative to traditional banks. They arrange currency transfers for personal and business clients. In doing so they save clients considerable amounts of time and money.

Testament to the professionalism and competitiveness of their service is the fact banks themselves use Direct FX to arrange currency exchanges and have done so for many years. No other service provider offering a currency transfer service to the retail market is also used by the banks to buy and sell currencies, in Australasia.

Direct FX can provide the service they do because they: 

• Provide wholesale exchange rates to retail customers
• Have over 200 years experience arranging currency transfers
• Arrange annually the equivalent of NZD 180 billion in currency exchanges
• Stream line the process
• Do not charge fees

Direct FX transact trades as close to the interbank rate as possible. Most banks will charge up to, and sometimes in excess of, a 3% margin of the transaction amount, and then charge transaction fees on top. Direct FX rates are at a substantial discount to the rates banks offer, will in general be at .75% from where the interbank market is trading, and they do not charge transaction fees.

As well as providing aggressively competitive exchange rates, they also provide the ability for clients to target a specific exchange rate, by watching currency order levels 24 hours a day.
