From Ireland to Australia: A Global Career
Jarrad Butler, a professional rugby player, knows the value of teamwork and precision. When his career took him to Ireland, he faced a new challenge: managing his finances across two hemispheres. With a mortgage in Australia and earnings in Euros, finding an efficient way to transfer money was essential.
Bank Frustrations
Initially, Jarrad used his bank for international transfers. Like many, he found the process slow, expensive, and lacking transparency. The exchange rates were rarely competitive, and the fees added up quickly on regular monthly payments.
“After realizing how much I was losing on every transfer, I knew there had to be a better way to support my family and pay off my home.”
“
The OFX platform was just so much easier and faster than dealing with my bank.

Consistency is Key
Jarrad settled into a routine of monthly transfers with OFX. Over 7 years, he moved his earnings consistently. The savings weren't just in the rates, but in the time saved and the peace of mind knowing exactly when his funds would arrive in his Australian account.
