Brokers and investing platforms generally charge a basis point spread (bps) when moving money between your AUD and USD accounts. Selfwealth’s FX is one of the lowest, at 60 bps. Not only that, Selfwealth limits the number of times FX is charged to just the point of cash deposit and withdrawal. This is a much simpler way to manage your currency risk than other brokers that might charge for FX conversion on every trade.
