When converting funds to USD, GBP, EUR or NZD, CommBank will cover any correspondent bank fees that may apply, making sure additional fees aren't deducted from your payment along its journey. Fees charged by the beneficiary bank may still apply to the payment beneficiary.
Wanting to send money overseas to friends and family for a special occasion or to cover day-to-day expenses? Need to pay an overseas bill or invoice? You can send an International Money Transfer (IMT) to more than 200 countries, in over 30 currencies from the CommBank app, NetBank or at your nearest branch.
If you're planning to make payments to an overseas supplier or business, or would like to pay a business related invoice or bill, view our International Money Transfer page for businesses.
Tip: Convert your payment into foreign currency and send from NetBank or the CommBank app to lock in the exchange rate and pay a lower transfer fee.
Your recipient collects a payment made using their mobile number from CommBank Payment Collections.
They simply need to enter the collection code, their mobile number, banking and personal details then tap ‘Collect payment’. They can also store their details so they don’t need to collect future payments (we’ll also verify some details via SMS).
You can also send money overseas at your nearest branch. It’s cheaper and quicker to make a transfer online or using the CommBank app though.
Sending money overseas is now cheaper than ever. Convert your payment into foreign currency first to lock in the exchange rate and pay a transfer fee as low as $6.
Correspondent bank charges will not be passed on to customers who send International Money Transfers (IMTs) in EUR, GBP, NZD, or USD when issued in Branch or using NetBank and the CommBank app. This is only applicable for when the debit currency is different to the payment currency. This does not include charges by the beneficiary banks, who may have their own processing fees.
The option to pay an additional fee to cover correspondent bank fees for same-currency IMTs is available when sent from a Foreign Currency Account in EUR, GBP, NZD, or USD. This option is not available in NetBank or the CommBank app.
Customers using CommBiz have the option to pay an additional fee to cover charges by overseas bank for selected countries and currencies.
