Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help/advise.

We arrived a year ago on a 189 visa and are planning on getting citizenship when the time comes. We are looking into getting a credit card for frequent flier points but wondering if there is a waiting period before we should apply for a credit card. I don't want to apply and get rejected - it says that I should be a permanent resident which I am, but wondered if anyone had experiences they could share?

Thanks

Thanks John - all set up now. 

Are there any charges at all when transferring money into an Australian bank account? 

Do you publish your exchange rates daily?

A Guide to Sending Money Overseas

Hundreds of Poms in Oz members have benefited from using Moneycorp for their international money transfers. Moneycorp’s services are straightforward, simple to use and will save you money.

The following text outlines the 4 step process and how it works.

 

1. Set up your Moneycorp account

To start making money transfers, you will need to open an account with Moneycorp. This can be done online and only takes a few minutes - click here to register

Opening an account carries no costs or obligations on your behalf.

 

2. Choose the best solution for your needs

Once your Account is set up, your personal account manager will contact you to identify and discuss your specific requirements. They will be your personal point of contact for all future transactions and will explain the proposed course of action and options that best suits your personal needs.

 

3. Arrange your finances

Once you have verbally agreed to a money transfer with your personal account manager, you will be sent a Contract Summary outlining the details. This document will include a form giving you instructions on how to transfer your funds to Moneycorp.

The Contract Summary will also include a Transfer Instruction form, on which you will need to put details of the bank account(s) into which you would like your currency to be paid following your transaction.

Hi John. 

I tried to open a moneycorp account earlier earlier in the week but it said there is a 'delay with the systems' and I haven't had a confirmation of the account being open yet. 

Is there a timescale on the delay? I was hoping to take advantage of the stronger pound soon (ish)

many thanks
