I had a problem with the transaction no fault of XE or mine but because the reciever of the funds gave the wrong. XE dealt with my frustrations, my fear of vanishing funds and my impatience, while I was traveling in Morocco without having very good phone or internet, with a professional attitude and being on top of things at all times. I cannot be more pleased by their professionalism.
I've used the app for several years, as a reference just for currency rates info. Tried my first transfer today to Colombia, bank to bank to a friend. Accepted my usd, and immediately closed my account. This seems to be a pattern with this company. Waiting to see if I get refunded plus my fees charged. I was hoping for a better alternative than Western Union. I've never had an issue with WU.

Fantastic company, I should have joined them years ago, just didn't know enough about them... I have been dealing with the banks and they probably overcharge for everything including my mortgage, checking, exchange currency rates... I'll give these guys a 11 star rating. When I call them they walked me through what I want and are very courteous in every way. Mel Latimer... Manassas, VA
After some frustrations with a well-known provider I tried Xe. The site is just straightforward and obvious, totally tailored to in my case the Botswana banking system. A bank code sent to me had an error. However the correct code was looked at by the system. I only had to click my mouse twice and it was fixed.
I made two payments in less than 2 minutes. Everything was confirmed immediately by email. Within 48 hours payments were complete. The rates were excellent and the commission minimal.
So nice to work with an group who know how to develop a website. And the app looks even better.
I needed to send money to my mum in Leeds because of some medical issues. Reviews were a mixed bag. So I took a gamble on Xe. They gave me a quote on the exchange rate, much better than my bank. I've used them twice so far. Seems to work just fine for me. Just my experience.
We buy goods in from China and send money out there on a regular basis. It is normally trouble free, but on a recent payment that was delayed a quick phone call soon sorted the issue out. It saves us money compared to using a bank as the fees if charged are lower and the rate of exchange better.
Was a little nervous about trusting myself and my wife's savings to a company other than a bank, but the whole transfer experience was very clear, plenty of staff available on the phone to answer queries, the extra value achieved by using XE, rather than the bank will come in very useful. Definitely recommend to anyone on the fence.
Thank you so much for all your support. I transferred a large amount of money from a deceased estate, UK to Australia. XE provided relatively easy set up and account activation, great exchange rates and support by email and phone. Money arrived quickly and safely. Great job. Second successful transaction using your company. So much better than bank transfers or cashing of chequer in a foreign currency. Thanks again.
The best service ever.
Please do not release any of Galeo/Mucificator/Egalul/Astute money.
Cheers and keep up all the good work.
Perfect tool for easy converting currencies! It's very useful when you have to figure out the price of desired item in your usual currency when you are travelling (I use their mobile application), shopping online in a foreign shop or especially if you are doing a lot of business and trade internationally. I used other websites/applications like this, but XE is definitely number one!
August 2015, I sold a house in Southern California and as I am a Canadian, I was preparing to transfer the funds via a Bank transfer from the US to Canada. I did not realize that there is a significant discrepancy in the cost of transferring funds between US and Canada. I assumed that other than the transfer fee from bank to bank, the currency exchange rate was the same. A contact explained that he had saved thousands of dollars over the years using XE.com to transfer money from US to Canada as part of his business accounts. I was skeptical and concerned about having a third party handle the bank to bank transfer. However, I went ahead and applied to XE.com and began the currency converter process. As XE's currency rate was better than the bank's, I waited eagerly for the funds to be deposited in my Canadian bank account in CAD. After my application was approved, the US funds were withdrawn from my US bank account and about 10 days later CAD were deposited in my Canadian bank account. The banks were unable to charge any fees, as the conversion and transfer was all done by XE.com. I am pleased to say that I saved several thousand Canadian dollars by using XE.com rather than the banks doing the transfer. There is some processing time involved but it is worth the savings!
I don't use this site for anything but a currency exchange reference and it's always exceptionally easy to use.
The name is easy to remember, too!
I love this site! Easy to use and provides all the information a traveler could need.
Easiest and quickest to use, never go anywhere else for converting currency and checking the exchange rates.
The guitar is beautiful. It has a solid cedar top and rosewood back and sides. Golden graver tuners and a gorgeous abalone inlay also add to its looks and overall presence.
Useful tool when you are traveling and want to be able to convert currencies rapidly. Best thing is they have mobile apps for iphone so you can easily convert while traveling.

In 1993, two friends fresh out of university joined forces to start a company. Steven Dengler and Beric Farmer started out from a basement office, offering computer consulting and internet services. A couple of years later, the duo introduced a demo currency converter to show clients how interactive the internet could be. As the years passed, it was clear that they were running the web’s dominant currency tool and started to focus on XE’s currency services. With years of hard work, Steven, Beric, and the XE team cultivated this tool into the world’s largest currency brand - XE.
