Should I let Centrelink pay my pension directly to my Bangkok bank account or use a private transfer service?

Transferwise charges a percentage of your transfer, meaning larger transfers attract significantly higher fees. CurrencyFair also allows you to transfer an unlimited amount, while TransferWise limits your transfer to $200K.
