While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Competent Team

I do my "arbitrage" every year with Five West. Their team is very patient and supportive and clearly "knows their stuff". This is very comforting when you don't come from a finance background.

Compliant and efficient

FiveWest seem to be on top of compliance and regulation. This is very comforting in this wild west of an industry. FiveWest have efficient systems and very friendly staff. I can definitely recommend them.

Used Fivewest's USD forex service to send money from the US to my Standard Bank account. I first tested the service with just $10 and didn't get hit with any fees and got the rate they quoted which is amazing compared to SBSA.
