      Hi Deepak,

      Thank you for leaving a question.

      Different companies offer different conversion rates throughout the day, the best solution is for you to continually watch over our page which shows the exchange companies as well as their estimate conversion amount before you decide to convert your money. Hope this helps!

      Cheers,
      Reggie

      Hello Deepak,

      Thank you for your comment.

      It looks like you’re on the correct page to compare exchange rates for USD to AUD. It looks like XE Money Transfer have a higher rate. To compare, please enter the amount in USD on the box beside “I want to send” then click Calculate. You’ll then be able to compare which company offers the higher conversion.

      Regards,
      Jhezelyn
