   The fact is that many individuals will simply use the exchange rate offered by their personal bank. The bank's 'retail' rate of exchange is usually a few percent worse than the market rate. The bank may also charge wire transfer fees, commissions, and bank receiving fees. Since the bank takes a large profit that is built into the exchange rate, many individuals don't realize they are other options available to them. There is an alternative to using your bank that could save you significant sums of money.

   Working with a 'specialist currency broker' like HiFX can not only save you time and hassle, it can also save you money. Their focus is to educate clients on the currency market, secure a better exchange rate than the banks, and transfer funds free of charge. Because the exchange rate that HiFX can offer is much better than the bank's rate, you will save substantially (on average 1%-4% of the amount) which on larger transfers can turn into thousands of dollars.

   HiFX can also protect you from adverse currency fluctuations, which can be useful if you would like to lock in an exchange rate for future property payments.

   HiFX services are free of any fees and there is no obligation to use their services, even as a registered client. In other words, you can call any of HiFX's global offices and get a quote on the exchange rate and then compare it with your bank to see how much money you would save.
