Even if you’re settled in Australia, you may still have ties to the UK which mean you are sending regular payments for everything from child support and property maintenance to a UK-based nest egg. Equally, you may be in receipt of a UK pension, or income from a rental property which needs exchanging every month. Even if your payments are less frequent, for paying tuition fees for each school or university term, for example, you can set up automated payments which will save you time and ensure that all your payments are delivered by the date required. The first advantage of this is convenience; funds are collected from your bank account by Direct Debit, converted into the currency you require and sent to the destination that you provide. You can set up and track all the payments online which will save you time and is particularly valuable if you need to settle bills and other payments by a certain date. The Regular Payment Plan (RPP) can also help you plan ahead by fixing the amount of currency received, the sterling debited, or both if you choose to fix the exchange rate. You can fix these payments for up to two years. This means that you can be certain that any required payments will be covered, and if you are receiving a pension payment from the UK you can budget ahead with confidence whatever happens to the exchange rate. You can set these payments up over the phone or organise them wherever you are by accessing your account online and via the moneycorp app. The Regular Payment Plan offers convenience and great value, and provides an easy way to manage your funds across borders with a full clear statement as a record of all your payments.

Hello to you all, If a UK property is sold and the money is transferred to an Oz account, is the amount liable for any tax? Just wondered how it all works. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, my query is about transferring money from Dubai to my NAB account. I hear that banks in Oz charge fees for money being transferred from overseas. If that is the case, is it better to use some online exchange / transfer website to transfer money without charges. Any information or tips in regards to transferring money from overseas into an Oz bank Account are welcome! Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

Please can somebody help us....we have arrived set up a Moneycorp account, we have online banking with Natwest, all going well until we changed mobile phones with AU SIM cards now we are unable to confirm transactions as we have changed our numbers and cannot update account details online without a card reader, we were not aware of this until we left UK! Called the bank who suggested we go into branch...they do not have any in AU so they then suggested we borrowed an online card reader from a friend or family member....argh!
