VDubber Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi, Looking at opening an Australian bank account before I arrive in 3 weeks time... My fiance will be staying in the UK for the time being to arrange removals, rent out our house etc, so I will need to send money bank to the UK to pay mortgage etc. Does anyone know which bank is best for this? I notice a few charge $20 for each online bank transfer! Thanks :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_shel Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 We've opened a NAB account online as they have a fee free account. Cant tell you how good they are though as we're not in Aus yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgon Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi VDubber If you are transferring money from one currency to another on a regular basis you really need an account with a money transfer company like UKforex/Ozforex or HIFX which are cheaper than the banks. You will also need an Australian bank account. I opened one with Westpac and they have been very efficient but they will charge a monthly fee unless your salary goes in every month. My wife opened an account with ANZ who were equally efficient and have similar arrangements. I also found BankWest very friendly and efficient.
