Receive Money from Overseas

Attention: open in a new window. Print

 
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.
 
The overseas financial institution can use Western Union to transfer the deposit to your Bank account.
