Why use OFX instead of your bank?

Most people are simply unaware of the high margins and fees that are often applied by the banks for international transfers. The difference in exchange rates can often mean savings of thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars (depending on volumes being sent). OFX also provides hedging tools in order to assist you and your clients in managing the volatility of the foreign exchange markets.
If you are remitting funds to or from NZ or Australia OFX can help.

About MTA Editor

Hi… I’m JJ Smith.

I’m the creator and editor of MTA. I started this blog in 2008 when my family and I moved to Australia. I know everything about New Zealanders moving their life to Australia. Either through our research, first hand experiences or the questions I've helped visitors with.

I learnt so much when we moved our family from Auckland New Zealand to the Gold Coast (short term accommodation x 3) and then Brisbane (family friends, then long term rental). I sold my website business in NZ before the move. I was pregnant when we moved, so it was easy for me to setup this site and share my knowledge to help others, save them time, money and make their move stress-free.
