Currency transfers are commonplace in many areas of the world but less so in the U.S. OFX is intent on helping consumers and businesses understand that there are less expensive alternatives than transferring money through a bank. OFX is able to pass on their low cost of moving money online to consumers and businesses because of their global network of banking relationships and the fact that they have no physical presence.

David Nicholls, Head of Payments Solutions at OFX stated: “We at OFX are on a mission to help consumers and businesses better understand the difference between the rates banks charge each other (the interbank rate) and the rates consumers receive which are inflated by margins, markups and fees. By partnering with Yahoo Finance, we hope to accelerate savings to consumers and businesses that need to move money internationally. Armed with the right information, consumers and businesses can save significantly by switching to a provider that offers better rates and an improved customer experience.”
