Hi everyone,
This question has probably been asked and answered before but I can't find it either on this site or BritExpats
My wife and I are both retired and both receive State pensions and a private pension each.
I know we can get them paid into an OZ bank account but what is the best way to avoid all the bank charges? I'm assuming that both our pension providers and Dept of Works and Pension won't transfer our pensions to OZ without charging us something.
Any info would be appreciated. We have recently been allocated a CO so hope to make the move by mid-summer.

Cheers
Mike and Connie
