Using OFX for money transfers offers the benefit of lower fees and competitive exchange rates compared to traditional banks, making international transactions more cost-effective.
Additionally, OFX provides 24/7 customer support, a range of transfer options including spot and forward contracts, and a user-friendly online platform, enhancing convenience and flexibility for global financial transactions.
What Savings Can I Expect with OFX?
OFX offers exchange rates that beat the banks, and are close or equal to the rates offered by the industry’s lowest-cost services.
When you register via our OFX 0.5% exclusive offer for BER users the cost of sending, for example, 5,000 US dollars to Australia equates to 0.5 percent of the transferred amount, or roughly US$25. You’d pay the same 0.5 percent for the same amount to be sent to Europe and around 1 percent if sending to India. This compares with 4–7 percent with the banks.
For other currency routes we looked at (routes involving AUD, INR, GBP, EUR, SGD and USD), the average cost of an international payment with OFX was 0.6 percent of the transferred amount. This is exceptional if compared with banks but can be a little more expensive than what is charged by the industry’s lowest-cost services, although such services do not offer the same benefits and customer service as OFX.

How to get a good GBP to DKK exchange rate
There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting British pound to Danish krone:
- Shop around for the best GBP/DKK exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
- Timing is important: Keep an eye on the GBP/DKK rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
- Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
- Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both GBP and DKK at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
- Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.
The key is reducing excessive costs and fees
Generally speaking, if you are buying Danish krone with British pound, then it's better for the GBP/DKK exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.
Will the British pound rise against the Danish krone?

Expat life in Denmark
For expats, Denmark is known for its high standard of living, excellent healthcare and education system, and strong economy. The country is also home to a diverse expat community, and major cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus offer a vibrant international community. However, the cost of living in Denmark can be relatively high, especially in major cities like Copenhagen. The weather in Denmark can be quite cold in the winter and quite cool in the summer with the occasional periods of rain throughout the year.
The language might be a barrier for some expats, as Danish is not widely spoken as a second language. However, in major cities like Copenhagen, most people do speak English fluently, and most official forms, documents and customer services are available in English.
