Receive Money from Overseas

We can assist you when receiving payments from overseas in a foreign currency into Australia that is then converted into Australian dollars (AUD). In general, the quickest and most convenient way for someone to send you funds from overseas is via a Telegraphic Transfer.

We can receive funds on your behalf from the overseas financial institution and transfer the deposit to your Bank account. We provide this service to you through our arrangement with Convera.¹
