Transfering money to Australia

peeko

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to transfer money into an australian bank account, and how much the fee's for the transfer would be?

Somewhere in the region of 50-100k

Thanks

I would be sure about that quantidy of cash but for 20K I found the best and cheapest way was to but it on the credit card and then draw down as you need it

I would need to take it all out at the same time though..

I would go to your branch and enquire about a SWIFT payment, and how much it would cost, transfer limits etc

It's basically a forum discussing emigrating to Oz. I know it has been discussed from an Irish perspective on the following thread:
