What information do I need from my recipient to send bank transfers to Australia?


  • Full name. To avoid any delays, the recipient’s name should match the name on their bank statement exactly.

  • Address. We need your recipient’s city.

  • Account details. We need your recipient’s (1) bank name, (2) branch name (3) account number and, (4) bank state branch.

  • Mobile number. We ask for a contact number in case we need to provide any important updates.

  • Email (optional). We use this to send an email to your recipient with details of the transaction. This is particularly useful in case they have issues receiving the SMS notifications.

  • Sending reason. Please indicate whether it is “family or friend support,” “purchase of services,” “property payment,” or “sending fund to self”. 

Please ensure that all your recipient’s details are correct. Once you make your transaction, it is difficult for us to amend or stop the transfer, although we will always try our best to do so.
