Upfront payment of correspondent banks’ processing fees
Available for branch transactions only. Not available for payments through NetBank or CommBiz.
You can instruct us to submit an International Money Transfer with a request that all fees and charges applied by intermediary and receiving banks for their role in processing the payment be charged to you, rather than to the beneficiary. If you do, the following correspondent fee will apply in addition to the normal International Money Transfer fees listed above.
| USA | USD | $30.00 |
| Thailand | THB | $32.00 |
| Ireland | EUR | $10.00 |
| France | EUR | $32.00 |

Please note that all other country and currency combinations (e.g. sending USD to England) will incur a correspondent fee of $50.00. Upfront payment of correspondent fees is not available for AUD and JPY payments, or payments to Japan, Portugal, Spain, Italy or Greece.
- * Note: While we’ll submit the payment for processing on this basis, we are unable to control how the payment will be processed by other banks and therefore we make no guarantee that intermediary and receiving banks will not deduct additional fees and charges from the payment during processing, despite payment of this flat fee.
