Details of our trusted partners who can help you with your move to Australia.
Transferring funds to Australia
Halo Financial
Transferring what can be large sums of money internationally is (in our view) best handled by specialist firms rather than the UK’s High Street banks.
You will obtain a significantly better exchange rate with Halo Financial, with funds arriving efficiently and safely in your nominated bank account in Australia.
