Need to send money overseas?

Did you know that you can send money from your bank account to an overseas bank account via our International Payments Service, otherwise known as a “Telegraphic Transfer” or “Wire”.

With our International Payments Service, you can send money to 200 countries and territories in over 130 currencies.

Benefits to you:

• Funds are normally credited within 2-3 business days³
• No surprise overseas bank fees**
• Cost-effective; you can potentially save money by sending in your beneficiary’s local currency**

What you need to send money overseas:

You will need to provide the full name of your beneficiary and full details of the beneficiary’s bank account, including their IBAN (International Bank Account Number). IBAN is used in some countries to uniquely identify a customer’s bank account. An IBAN is necessary for payments being sent from Australia to an IBAN mandatory country.

To comply with Australian Government regulations, you must provide the beneficiary’s full street address. Include beneficiary bank’s code (sort code, SWIFT address, or routing number).**
