International money transfer

[rb250660]

I am looking to move a reasonable amount of physical JPY to AUD in the future. I want to take my cash in Japan back to Australia at the best rate, lowest fee and least amount of hassle. What would be the best way to do this?

I have done the reverse with a good outcome using KVB Kunlun in Sydney. If I could find a service like this for JPY to AUD that would be good.

Does anyone have any experience moving money from Japan to Australia or similar or otherwise can make a recommendation?

Have a look at TransferWise, my friends tell me their rates are competitive. I haven't tried it myself but might be worth a look.

Thanks Bill. Seems to be quite limited in the amount of money you can send unfortunately.

I work for an Australian company and live in New Zealand. My employers use WorldFirst for my salary. No idea on rates but maybe worth a look.
