^ International Money Transfer Offer – Terms & Conditions
CommBank Everyday Account Smart Access: IMT Preferential Pricing
Eligibility Conditions
To be eligible for the International Money Transfer (IMT) Preferential Pricing offer, you must open a new CommBank Everyday Smart Access Account via the Moving to Australia (MTA) online portal between 15 December 2025 (12:01am, AEST) and 30 June 2026 (11:59pm AEST) (‘the offer period’).
This offer is only available for eligible customers who will be either (i) arriving in Australia within the next 14 days, or (ii) have been in Australia for less than 12 months and are over the age of 18 years at the time of account opening and who have never held a CommBank Everyday Smart Access Account. Single accounts only. Excludes joint and Everyday Offset accounts.
How to Qualify
To qualify for preferential pricing on your IMT, you need to open your first CommBank Everyday Smart Access account during the offer period online via the MTA portal. If you do not use the MTA portal to open your Everyday Smart Access account, you will not qualify for this offer.
The preferential pricing on IMT will be available to you within 21 days of your new Everyday Smart Access account being opened.
Your preferential rate will only apply to IMTs you make under the customer record through which you opened your Everyday account via the MTA portal. If you have more than one customer record, the preferential rate will not apply to the additional customer record(s).
What is Preferential Pricing under this Offer?
CommBank will offer Preferential Pricing under this offer, defined as a foreign currency rate that provides a better conversion rate than the standard advertised exchange rate. Preferential pricing will only be applicable to IMTs completed between Monday to Friday. IMTs completed on Saturday and Sunday or on a public holiday will use the standard advertised exchange rate, and the preferential pricing offer will not apply.
Preferential pricing is only valid when you complete an IMT via NetBank or the CommBank app, when transferring from Australian Dollars (AUD) to any Foreign Currency. The transfer fee will also be waived for this transaction (excludes transfers in AUD to AUD).
Preferential pricing is not available on any IMT transfers from AUD to AUD. If you would like to complete the IMT in branch you will be charged an AUD $30.00 transfer fee and a minimum of AUD $5000 per transfer is required, in order to be eligible for the preferential pricing on your IMT.

For more information about the fees and charges for international payments, read our Standard fees and charges for international payments and travel funds.
Preferential pricing under this offer is available to you, for the duration of time that you hold an eligible active CommBank transaction account (i.e. Smart Access, Complete Access, Streamline Basic, Pensioner Security or Everyday Offset account).
CommBank reserves the right to change, end, or extend the offer at any time as permitted by law.
