We rarely work with our homebanks for Forex trading, on the lonely exception of one they are all way too expensive and slow. In Brazil we have been working with Number One for more than years now. They are truly exceptional. We have a very clear framework agreement with them and they are extremely fast and professional. I can hardly think of a more efficient broker. Actually, Number One has an excellent content section on the Brazilian Real; some content is public, the best content is exclusive to Number One clients.
All this in sharp contrast to the broker we have been working with in South Africa for the past year. Banking in South Africa remains prehistorically slow and expensive when compared to the efficient banking system in Brazil. I have been trying to getsome non-resident money (read: even no Reserve Bank clearance needed) out of South Africa for the past 10 days and things simply don't happen. I had been promised the money would leave last Monday and again... nothing. This is unseen to me.
Anybody who has recommendation for fast, communicative and competitive South African currency brokers of the profile of Number One in Brazil?
