On-line Currency Exchange

[rpal]

We have been extremely pleased with the XETrade on-line currency brokerage at https://www.xe.com/fx/

They are a Canadian firm making use of a well-established Canadian currency exchange house. Some of the things we like:

* multiple recipient accounts (we can transfer funds to our own French account or our daughter's at Strasbourg

* No minimums. Great for monthly expenses. We transfer quarterly to save on wire transfer fees, which are still reasonable.

* Monitor the progress of every transaction on line.

* Capability to place forwards and bids.

* All major currencies, competitive rates.
