The currency market is notoriously volatile, with exchange rates fluctuating in response to a wide range of political, economic, social and environmental factors.

With both scheduled and unforeseen events having the potential to cause exchange rates to fluctuate by as much as 10% in a matter of days, you can’t rely on the currency market remaining stable for long.

But what difference does the exchange rate make to your currency transfers?

Well, over the past ten years the Australian Dollar to Pound (AUD/GBP) exchange rate has fluctuated between lows of 0.3777 and highs of 0.6925.

On a currency transfer of AU$100,000, that’s a difference of £31,480.

Similarly, the Australian Dollar to US Dollar (AUD/USD) exchange rate slumped to lows of 0.6049 and achieved highs of 1.1032 over the same period.

In this instance, on a transfer of AU$100,000, the movement in the rate would mean the difference of tens of thousands – in this instance US$49,830.
