They come under the umbrella of OzForex, the parent company in Australia with a multi brand strategy including NZForex,  UKForex, USForex and CanadianForex. ClearFX is the Hong Kong branch. So here's the bit to pay attention to: If you're living away from home you probably know that sending money overseas can be expensive if you're using the major banks, right?
