OFX is a specialist for large bank-to-bank transfers rather than small family remittances. It sends in more than 50 currencies to over 180 countries, and its US personal page shows a $10,000 USD to EUR quote with a $0.00 OFX fee, which means the cost sits in the customer exchange rate it offers. Registered customers can get customised rates on high-value transfers, and the site offers rate alerts and a currency outlook if you can wait for a better moment. Its main strength is support: you can speak with a real person by phone or email at any hour, which is reassuring when you move a home deposit or a year's savings. OFX is regulated by FinCEN and state regulators in the US and says more than 1 million customers have moved A$293 billion with it. It has no cash pickup or mobile wallets, and it warns that an intermediary bank may deduct a fee it does not control.
