Whether you’re travelling overseas or your money is, we can help. You can make an international money transfer or let us know, if you’ve planned any overseas travel, in the ANZ App and Internet Banking. It’s all at your fingertips.
Your Internet Banking daily payment limit will apply to international services. You can set up or amend your daily limit by selecting the appropriate limit from the options displayed during international services registration.
By removing your international services access you will forfeit your ability to transfer funds overseas. Your international payee list will be deleted and you won't be able to retrieve them. You can re-register for international services anytime.
Funds transferred overseas may take 2 - 4 business days before being available in the payee’s (beneficiary's) account, depending on when ANZ accepts your instructions and whether a third party correspondent bank is involved.
Please take note of the Receipt number and Lodgement number for your own records.
Together, a SWIFT and BIC makes up the 8 - 11 character identification code of a bank or financial institution. In an international money transfer these codes help us identify the receiving bank or financial institution, so make sure the ones you use are up to date.
When you send a payment overseas, the SWIFT/BIC code is mandatory and identifies the beneficiary (receiving) bank or financial institution. Some countries will allow the option to enter a Branch number or a SWIFT/BIC code.
ANZ Australia’s SWIFT/BIC code is ANZBAU3M
You can contact the person or organisation you’d like to transfer to, contact their bank or refer to their bank’s website.
When you transfer money overseas, some countries require you to use an IBAN.
An IBAN starts with a two letter country code and will contain between 15 and 34 letters and numbers. The length of an IBAN will differ depending on the country of the recipient. The IBAN should be presented as a continuous string of alphanumeric characters with no spaces (eg. GB29NWBK60161331926819).
ANZ does not have the authority to change an IBAN, so please make sure you have the right details before sending your payment.
Australia does not use IBANs to receive payments and instead use BSB and account numbers.
You can contact the person or organisation you’d like to transfer to, contact their bank or refer to their bank’s website.

International money transfers (transfer funds overseas) are processed as immediate payments and your account is debited immediately. It may however, take two business days to be processed depending on when the transfer was requested. Transfers submitted before 4.30pm (AEST/AEDT) on a bank business day will be processed on the same day but if submitted after 4.30pm (AEST/AEDT) or on weekends or public holidays, it will be processed on the next bank business day. The time that it takes for the beneficiary's account to be credited will depend on the policy and systems of the beneficiary's bank. You will be notified via SecureMail once your request is processed by the ANZ International Services team.
No. International payments cannot be future dated nor can they be set up as a recurring transfer. All international payments are processed as immediate payments or transfers. This is because of fluctuating foreign exchange rates.

No. International money transfers can be sent to specified countries only. To view the list of countries for international money transfers, you can see the Destination country list when you setup a new payee.

When you enter an amount in the field next to Transfer amount or an amount in AUD, select Get rate. The Total is the sum of the Transfer Amount and Transfer fee. When foreign currency is used, the Amount is the Australian dollar equivalent of the Transfer amount. The amount is automatically calculated by ANZ Internet Banking.
Whenever you confirm a payment/transfer you'll see a lodgement number and a receipt number. The receipt number confirms that the payment has been submitted successfully.
For scheduled payments, you can check the status and the receipt number via View past Payments/Transfers from the Payments menu. For unsuccessful payments, the status will show as failed. You can also check the details of the payment to find the reason the payment failed.
