Welcome to World First

Currency exchange for Expats living in Australia

If you are living in Australia but still have funds in your home currency, you will want to transfer those funds over to Australian dollars at the best possible exchange rate at the best possible time. World First can help you achieve a competitive exchange rate and we can act as your eyes and ears on the market and will keep you abreast of market movements as much or as little as you want.

Emigrating to or from Australia

If you are emigrating, you will have to convert your funds into the currency of the country you are moving to. Alternatively, if you are returning from abroad, we can help you repatriate your funds.

Currency Exchange for Overseas Property

If you are buying property abroad, you will have to pay for the property in the currency of the country you are buying in. Equally, if you are selling your overseas property, we can help you repatriate the sale proceeds back to your domestic currency.

Making a regular or one-off International Payment

If you're making a regular or one-off international payment, we can provide you with the foreign currency you require at the best available exchange rate. Our regular payment plans are hassle-free, cost-effective and can be set up for any regularity. Perfect if you're living abroad but receiving an Australian pension, paying for an overseas mortgage or working abroad and transferring your salary.

Foreign Exchange Hedging Strategies

If you are buying or selling a property abroad, you may be exposed to significant risk due to constant fluctuations in exchange rates. Our hedging strategies help you to manage your foreign exchange risk by protecting you from adverse rate movements and enabling you to benefit from favourable rate movements.
