If you're looking to transfer money from Australia to India using Commonwealth Bank (CommBank), there are a few different options available to you. You can make an international money transfer (IMT) online using NetBank or the CommBank app, or by visiting your nearest branch. To do so, you'll need the recipient's full name, home address, account number or International Bank Account Number (IBAN), and the SWIFT or Bank Identification Code (BIC) of their bank. It usually takes around 2-5 business days for the transfer to be processed, although this may vary depending on the recipient's bank and country. There may also be fees involved, including intermediary bank charges and a transfer fee. Alternatively, you can use a platform like Wise to receive payments locally and pay out locally to your account in India, potentially avoiding border-crossing payments.

Transfer fees
When transferring money from Australia to India using Commonwealth Bank, there are a few things to keep in mind regarding transfer fees. Firstly, Commonwealth Bank does not offer international money transfers over the phone. All transfers are nearly always sent via the SWIFT network, which may involve multiple intermediary banks in addition to the recipient bank. Each of these intermediary banks may charge a fee for their services, resulting in a reduction of the total amount received by the beneficiary.
Commonwealth Bank offers the option to pay these intermediary and recipient bank fees in some instances to ensure that the intended amount reaches the recipient. These fees vary depending on the country and the currency involved in the transaction. Additionally, the bank may provide the option to pay an additional fee when sending same-currency transfers using specific services, such as CommBiz or in-branch transactions.
The fee charged by Commonwealth Bank for receiving money from overseas into an Australian dollar (AUD) account or a Foreign Currency Account is up to $11 per transfer. However, this fee may vary based on arrangements with overseas banks. It's important to note that Commonwealth Bank does not currently offer faster transfers for an extra fee, and transfer times are not guaranteed.
When using NetBank or the CommBank app for international money transfers, Commonwealth Bank usually waives the transfer fee, excluding AUD to AUD transactions. Additionally, they absorb any correspondent bank fees for these transfers. By using these digital platforms, you can save on fees and securely send money to over 200 countries in more than 30 currencies.
To ensure a smooth transfer process and avoid unnecessary fees, it is essential to gather all the necessary information for the recipient bank, set up a daily international transfer limit, and double-check the entered information before confirming the transaction.
