I find XE.COM the best if you want lots of different currencies. If your looking for just US$, then XE.COM and Ally.ca is about the same. About 1.5 cents per dollar over the mid market rate. Ally holds the rate for 1 minute for US$ purchases. XE.com will hold it for 40 seconds after you become a member. Both are free to use. Theres a cost to you with paying XE.COM if your not with a bank who offers to pay them as a bill for free. I havent paid one penny yet to use XE.COM, I am with BMO with their Premium account and I added XE.COM as a bill.

This is a great review of XE trade Peter. I have been using it for almost two years now. I always got my US$ in my BMO account one day after the trade though. I assume its because XE trade is a BMO customer as well. I found that out when I first signed up and asked for a draft in error instead of an EFT and when the draft arrived in the mail I noticed the banking info on the draft was BMO. Its just a guess why I get the US$ so fast, I am not 100% sure.

I found this site which shows xe.com reviews are quite varied (although I am not familiar with the review site itself):

http://www.reviewcentre.com/re.....87146.html

It looks like there are some real problems with some folks getting signed up.

I also stumbled on Knightsbridge:

http://www.knightsbridgefx.com

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has used (or tried to use) them and whether they thought the rates were competitive.

knightbridge fx has very good rates and they trade currency during market hours only. knightbridge currency from 10k dollars and up. 0-10k they do not trade.
