Currency exchange brokers can offer a much more personalized service than regular banks and other mainstream financial institutions.  This is because they do not operate call centres.  We have all been there: we have a query and want to speak to our bank.  We call the telephone number and end up speaking to an anonymous call centre representative who neither knows our personal needs nor is a financial expert.  Currency exchange brokers speak directly to their clients, offering a top level service at no extra cost.  In fact, the only fee involved with a transaction via a currency exchange broker might be a one-off fee if the amount transferred is below around $1,500.
