Disclaimer: While we endeavour to assess the majority of product providers in the market, this is not always possible and it may be that not every product or brand in the market was included for judging.
The Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards are decided by the only votes that really matter – yours. We asked customers of major international money transfer providers to tell us about their experiences. Now we can reveal what they said.
The winners

Customer satisfaction ratings methodology
Finder worked with leading insights company Dynata to survey nearly 20,000 Australians across almost 200 categories for our Customer Satisfaction Awards program.
- Consumers were asked to review a money transfer provider they had used.
- Brands had to receive a minimum of 55 responses in this category to be eligible for the award.
- The brands were rated based on the following categories:
- Customer service
- Features and benefits
- Fees
- Overall experience
- Speed of transfer
- Recommendation score
- Respondents were also asked whether they would recommend each product to a friend. This result was scored out of 5 as a percentage. For example, if 80% of respondents said they would recommend a product, it received a score of 4 out of 5.
- The final score was calculated as an average of the 5 metrics scored.
- Finder's Customer Satisfaction Awards is an independent awards program and commercial partnerships do not influence the results in any way.
