| Normally, banks or money transfer companies will charge you an upfront fee, but the hidden and largest cost is actually what exchange rate they give the customer for the transaction. They will charge an additional "spread" to the real exchange rate, profiting from the difference between the real rate and the rate they give to you. Only very large multinational institutions can expect to be given the real exchange rate.
TranzMoney eliminates this cost by avoiding the routing of money transfer orders through the traditional foreign exchange market, which is dominated by banks. Instead, it "crosses" the orders off the market. Equal transfer amounts from each country in the currency pair are matched up and the exchange rate given to the customers in both countries is the best rate possible- the midpoint of the interbank rate existing at that time. This service is provided for a small fee of 0.8% or less, depending on the amount of funds being transferred - Fee Schedule.
TranzMoney is regulated by HM Revenue & Customs in the U.K., so your funds are completely safe - Legal / Regulatory. We currently offer money transfers between bank accounts held in Australia and New Zealand. Additional currency pairs will be added in the future.
