Receive money from overseas

To receive money from overseas, you’ll need to provide the sender with the following details:

  • Your account name
  • Your account number
  • BSB
  • Bank of Sydney’s SWIFT code – LIKIAU2S

At times, the sender’s bank may also require additional details such as your address or your branch address.

Please ensure you provide the sender with full and correct account number and account name, as these are the identifiers used to process the incoming payments to your account.

When receiving funds in a foreign currency, how they are deposited into your account will determine the foreign exchange rate applied:

  • Depositing into an AUD Transaction Account: If you receive funds in a foreign currency into an AUD Transaction Account, they will be converted to AUD using the Bank of Sydney's current Foreign Exchange rate at the time of processing. You can check our latest exchange rates here.
  • Depositing into a Foreign Currency Account: If you prefer to receive the funds in their original currency, ensure they are deposited into a Foreign Currency Account of the same currency. Bank of Sydney offers Foreign Currency Accounts in USD, Euro or GBP. In this case, no currency conversion will take place, and foreign exchange rates will not apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

To send money overseas, you will need the following details for the person receiving the money:

  • Full name
  • Personal address
  • The name of their bank and branch address
  • Account number and SWIFT code of the foreign bank
  • You’ll also be asked to provide the reason for the payment.

An IBAN, or International Bank Account Number, is a globally recognised sequence of letters and numbers used to process select cross-border payments.

International payments from Australian accounts to IBAN-recognised countries will require a valid IBAN. It’s a good idea to check and confirm the IBAN with the person receiving the money because if the IBAN is incorrect or missing, a charge may be applied by the receiving bank and the transfer may not go through.

There can be different processing times for the money to arrive overseas, depending on which country you want to transfer money to.

For Bank of Sydney, international payments will usually be available to the recipient within 2-3 banking days. However, we cannot guarantee this, and in some circumstances it may take longer.

Transfers made on a weekend, a public/bank holiday, or after the cut-off time (3.00pm AEST) will be processed the following business day.
