We've been privileged to help our clients send hundreds of millions of dollars to and from Israel each year.
“If it were our money, what would we do?”
When handling funds — very often, life savings — our motto helps us focus on what’s really best for our clients. Period.
Since the founding of the company in 2008, we have worked diligently to create a trusted brand based on the reliability of our services and the relationships we build with our clients.
Whether you’re sending $10,000 or $5 million, you get the same personalised attention — a real human in Israel who picks up the phone, learns your situation, and remembers it next time.
We convert client funds immediately on your permission. No overnight currency exposure, no waiting on opaque processes. Your money moves on your timeline, not ours.
Across four very different journeys, our clients share one thing: they’re moving meaningful sums of money — and they want a partner who treats it that way.
New immigrants from the US, UK, France, Canada and beyond.
Living in Israel with income, pensions or investments abroad.
Property buyers and portfolio investors moving down-payments, drawdowns and proceeds in and out of Israel.
Israeli companies paying overseas suppliers, receiving foreign revenue, and managing currency exposure with forward contracts.
From the start, our mission has been simple: give Israelis and friends of Israel a faster, cheaper, friendlier alternative to the banking system.
Deep knowledge of financial markets and the mechanics of moving money — built over 18+ years and billions in shekel volume.
Friendly, competitive, tailored. Every client gets a dedicated account manager who knows their name and their situation.
We provide a viable and competitive alternative for customers who are not satisfied with the dominance and high fees of the major banks.
From a single Modi'in office in 2008 to a trusted specialist team today — the milestones along the way. (“Chai” means eighteen, and “life,” in Hebrew.)
Doron Seitz and Daniel Engelsman open IsraTransfer’s doors with a single goal: a fairer, friendlier alternative to Israel’s banking duopoly.
Word-of-mouth reaches olim communities abroad — the trickle becomes a steady flow.
Cumulative volume crosses the billion-shekel mark, much of it on behalf of overseas property buyers.
Coverage expanded to follow our clients across multiple time zones — trading desk hours stretched, account managers added.
Independent audit of our information security.
Including 5,000+ overseas property closings — one of Israel’s longest-established independent currency firms.
Now supervised by the Israel Securities Authority, with a 20-strong team of traders, account managers and operations specialists supporting clients every working day.
At IsraTransfer, we are passionate about providing a secure and simple service to our clients. With over 60 combined years experience, our leadership team understand your language, culture, and expectations.
“After 18 years, I still meet personally with clients moving life-changing sums. That’s not a policy — it’s a privilege.”
Doron founded IsraTransfer in 2008 after years in financial services, convinced that olim and overseas investors deserved better than the banks. He still personally meets clients moving life-changing sums — because he believes that’s how trust gets built.

“Every basis point I save on the trading desk is a flight upgrade, a kitchen renovation, or a year of school fees for someone. I take great pride in supporting our clients on their journey home.”
Daniel leads IsraTransfer’s trading desk, sourcing the live rates and forward contracts that keep clients ahead of the banks. With over a decade on Israeli FX markets, he’s the reason a $250,000 transfer here costs you thousands less than down the road.
LinkedInWhether it be the language barrier, inconvenient opening hours, or impatient clerks, dealing with the banks in Israel can be frustrating, to say the least. At IsraTransfer, we promise friendly and efficient service from people who understand your language and culture.
Our professional staff will guide you through every aspect of your wire transfers and currency exchange – with a smile. So sit back and relax while we save you money.
