International payments usually take 1-3 business days to reach the recipient, it may take longer depending on the country and receiving bank. There is a daily transfer limit of AU $50,000 to international accounts.

In addition to the fees charged by BankSA [and any conversion of proceeds], an international payment may also result in additional fees and charges being deducted by:

  • one or more other overseas banks involved in the international payment (an "Other Banks Fee"); and/or
  • the payment recipient's bank.

This could result in the recipient receiving less than the amount you originally sent.  An estimate of Sending Money Overseas -  Other Banks Fees can be found here, based on the currency of the payment and the country/region the payment is being sent to.

Sending money overseas to certain countries is limited for amounts of AUD $1,000 and above, or any foreign currency equivalent. For clarity, the countries currently subject to the restriction are Cambodia, Ghana, Indonesia, Laos, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. This condition is subject to change from time to time at our discretion.
