Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

June 2014 in Remittance/Exchange Rate

Hi Guys! I live in Sydney currently, particularly in Burwood, Inner West. I work in the city from Monday to Friday. I need to exchange my AUD to USD for loan purposes. Do any of the oldtimers here have any suggestions where I can get the best rate for my AUD to USD? Or better yet, san ako pwede magpa exchange ng walang hidden charges or service fees? Thanks!
