Telegraphic Transfers
A Telegraphic Transfer (TT), also known as a “Wire”, is an electronic transfer of funds directly credited to a beneficiary’s overseas bank account. A choice of more than 130 currencies is offered.
- In most cases a TT is the quickest way to send funds abroad (a TT will normally take one to two business days to reach the beneficiary).
- Sending a TT in the beneficiary’s currency is usually more cost effective and helps ensure the funds are credited more quickly, as the payment can go “straight through”.
You will need to provide full details of the beneficiary’s bank account, including their IBAN (International Bank Account Number) if they are in Europe.
To comply with Australian Government regulations you must also provide the beneficiary’s full street address.
Please note that TTs are sent via a network of correspondent banks, which sometimes levy a small handling charge on your payment. Any such fees are totally out of our control.
Given that a network of banks is used to complete your telegraphic transfer, the time it takes for your payment to be credited cannot be guaranteed.
