Best transfer company. Great service
XE are the best transfer business I've used. They have the best rates and service. They are fast and courteous. Always extremely professional. Would reccomend XE to anyone wanting to transfer currency

Total Failure!!!
Do not go with them! I sent $200 equivalent to Malaysia- receiver was suppose to get around 550 in local currency but only 446 was deposited into the account. After reading other reviews I discovered that many many others also had similar issues. Iv use WU and my bank prior and always the correct amount was deposited. XE is a ripp off!!!!

They give less rate and less money
I am transferring money to India for past 7 years. Used XE for first time and when I transferred 250$ (to test how it goes) as per XE I will get 11456 INR but I received only got 10630 INR almost 17$ less. Called XE and they said bank in India has charged but I never seen anything like that when I transfer from Western Union or Remit2India. Their rate is even less than Western Union and others.
Raised a complaint and didn't get any ticket no or any update after that and I am disappointed with XE.
XE is a website where everyone take reference but really disappointed with the way my transfer went and will never transfer through XE again. Luckily I was testing and didn't send more money from XE.

Not recommended - had to pay extra after transaction.
Beware of the No confirmation scam. When checking the rates it created a transaction or multiple transactions and contracts. Forcing you to pay multiple transfer fees for one transaction. Beware! Similar to others who has put a review here. Untrustworthy.

I don't recommend to use this
When I created a transaction, the website did not tell or show any how and how much fee when I want to cancel the transaction. Now I have to pay large amount of fee to to cancel transaction. So I am very disappointed the service.

Con Job Do Not Trust This Company.
This company intentionally deceives customers. I just subscribed for this service and have yet to even execute a single transfer and will never. I will be raising a case with Dept of Fair Trading, NSW under false and misleading advertising. So as following.
1. They advertise on the main money transfer web page that they process sending money to 160 countries. This does not mean they support sending 160 different currencies. This is a sleight of hand trick.
2. If you checked their FAQ(well hidden) it will say they support 60 currencies to 170 ...Read more
countries. First inconsistency. 3. Upon successfully subscribing and when you try and transfer in my case from AUD to MYR(Malaysian Ringgit) to it will not appear as an option in fact you can only send FROM 21 currencies TO 41 different currencies which does not include MYR. More false information. 4. As for they support numbers in Australia it is only Mon-Friday New Zealand business hours when calling the Australian toll free and direct numbers so the number is not even an Australian number. They indicate on their website that this is an Australian number and in this age and time are even unable to let customers know that it is NOT a 24x7 call center.Similar opinion?

WARNING!!!
Do NOT use their service. It is fraud. I tried to send USD90K to Hong Kong for business purpose, but they couldn't send the money and the money was returned to me 22days later. And they deducted $10 for fee. It was such a nightmare until the money was returned to me. One of most horrible experience in my life!

Don't waste your time and money
Very bad experience. The money took almost 13 days to get to the recipient and it was received 13% less than transferred amount. I used XE because I thought it is cheaper than WU but I was wrong. First and last time to use XE. Not recommended at all.

Excellent
I am with the reviewers who are stating that they don't what the bad reviews are about....
I created an account yesterday, after being quoted a better transfer rate than the last company I used. No spam callers, sent the money from the UK to their named account, they confirmed receipt by text and email. I received the money into my Aus account today. Perfect, no hassle transfer, easy, quick and painless. Would def recommend and use again. I do not review products or services unless I am very happy !

CRAP - dont sign up. less money than what they promise and no transparency on transaction
I transferred some money and got 7% less than what was confirmed by XE. This is total scam. not using this service anymore. They also do not provide any details of what the other transactions costs where neither they are capable of finding that for you. Remeber what it shows on the screen is not you will get finally into your bank account. Use Transferwise or even Western Union much better.

Never again, don't trust them
I have to use XE to transfer money to India recently. They show good rates initially but their conditions for extra charges by the banks are in their fine print. They even sent text messages about full money being transferred, but don't trust them.
When I enquired about full amount not being transferred, they have explained about clause 6.5, where money deducted by the receiving bank or an intermediary bank along the way which they do not take any accountability whatsoever. I've used many such services in the past and this is the first time I ...Read more
have experienced such hidden charges. Following is the explanation they have provided: "Information on this topic is provided within our Terms & Conditions for your consideration. Please note 6.5(b)." I won't use them ever again!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

So easy and quick
We transferred from New Zealand to Australia. Sent the order Friday night, electronically transferred our money to XE on Saturday morning and had the cash in our Aus bank account by lunch on Monday. So easy to use. The customer support was exceptional (this was our first time so we had a few questions). Did not loose a cent to any other fees, the exchange rate was a lot better than the bank. I would recommend to my family and friends.

Absolutely horrible, avoid at all cost.
I made a fund transfer on Wednesday, on Friday afternoon they sent a request asking me to provide more information which Immediately did. Now after almost 2 weeks, after multiple follow ups, they still cannot provide me an accurate answer on when would the fund be released. No proper tracking at their end, once the fund is held by intermediary bank, this is it. I keep having to ask my recipients to check the fund everyday.
Worst customer experience ever! Should have trusted the negative review before deciding to transfer with them, go with another provider, I would probably be able to make 4 different transfers during the period.

NO NO BIG 4s FOR FOREX TRANSFERS
Use Transferwise much better forex rates than PayPal, xe etc. DON'T EVEN THINK OF USING BIG 4 BANKS FOR FOREX THEY WILL RIP YOU LIKE ANYTHING. I pity people who are unknowingly being ripped by these banks at all levels be it forex rates, hidden charges, interest rates, annual fees and what not.

I initiated a transfer of $500 so I was provided with a invoice to deposit the funds in their account so they can transfer funds I realised I don’t have enough money so I initiated another transfer of $350 and transfer $350 to the nominated bypay account for XE. The converted amount against $350 was deposited into my receiver's account less then what was the written quote provided to me.

I was sceptical after reading the reviews but WOW did they deliver what they said
First time user. Easy to sign up to an account with drivers licence and utility bill as proof. I needed to send $25,000 from my UK bank to my AUS bank. Watched the rate go up and down over weeks, when it started to go up last night and hit a AUD$ number I aspired too I hit the transfer button which locked in the rate. They emailed me straight away with a UK bank account to transfer the sterling in, which I did within the 2 hours.
Got an email last night after I had paid saying saying that they had received my sterling and:
"On the rare ...Read more
occasion that we require further information about your payment, to meet our Anti Money Laundering obligations, we'll contact you before we send your payment." So I thought that I would be required to send them more info. Then went to bed worried that I had done the right thing, not trying a test amount etc, was it really a scam company? Were they going to claim that something had gone wrong or rip me off with extra charges etc? Another email received 7.43 am this morning saying:Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Excellent service
After a less than satisfactory experience trying to set up an account with InstaReM a friend recommended that I try XE Money Transfer. I was able to set up my account easily and arrange the transfer and at all stages during the transfer process I was kept informed by either email or SMS. The funds reached the designated account within four business days so I will definitely use them again when I need to transfer money overseas. The negative reviews I have read are at complete odds with my experience with XE Money so I would recommend that you try their service and then make up your own mind.

Hi
I am going to NZ in a few months.
Was just wondering how I transfer my funds for my holiday from my NAB account & set up a new debit account?
Are there any hidden fees & how long does it take?
2 answers
Well my money never arrived so I would not use this company. There are plenty of others though so I hope you can find a reputable company. TransferGo is poor as well, my money disappeared when i used them - they even sent me a fraudulent receipt claiming the money had arrived so plenty of dodgy companies in the money transfer business
I would not use these guys. I think XE used to be a decent company, but not anymore. Don't send money using their service unless you want to write it off as a donation because you will never see you money again.
