If you're looking to transfer money from Australia to an NZ ASB account, there are a few options available to you. ASB offers international money transfers, which can be done via an electronic transfer of funds, also known as a wire or telegraphic transfer. You can also transfer money by providing the sender with your ASB account details and ASB's SWIFT code/BIC. Additionally, you can use FastNet Classic internet banking or the ASB Mobile Banking app to manage your foreign currency and make transfers. It's important to note that fees may apply for international money transfers, and these can vary depending on the overseas bank involved in the transaction.

What You'll Learn
Using ASB's FastNet Classic internet banking
To transfer money from Australia to an ASB account in New Zealand using FastNet Classic internet banking, you will need to first log in to your account.
From the homepage, select 'Foreign Exchange' and then 'International Transfers'. You will need to provide the beneficiary's name, full account name, and address. You will also need to provide the beneficiary's account number or IBAN (International Bank Account Number). If you are transferring to an ASB NZD account, the IBAN is the account number. However, if you are transferring to an ASB Foreign Currency Account, you will need to provide the IBAN separately.
Next, you will need to provide the beneficiary bank's name, address, and SWIFT code (also known as a Bank Identifier Code or BIC). You will also need to provide the BSB or Sort Code, which is the first six digits of the beneficiary's ASB NZD account number. If you are transferring to an ASB Foreign Currency Account, a Sort Code is not required.
Finally, review the transaction details and confirm the transfer. Note that there is a $5 fee for each International Money Transfer via FastNet Classic, and overseas banks involved in the transaction may also impose additional fees.

Required details for the beneficiary bank
To transfer money from Australia to an ASB bank account in New Zealand, you will need to provide the sender with your ASB account details, as well as the beneficiary bank's details. Here is the information that you will need to provide about the beneficiary bank:
- Name and Address of the Beneficiary Bank: The full name and physical address, including the city and country, of the beneficiary bank. This information is necessary to identify the bank receiving the funds.
- SWIFT Code: The beneficiary bank's SWIFT code, also known as the Bank Identifier Code (BIC), is required. ASB's SWIFT code is ASBBNZ2A. This code is used to identify the specific bank and facilitate the transfer of funds between financial institutions worldwide.
- IBAN (International Bank Account Number): If you are transferring money to an ASB Foreign Currency Account, you will need to provide your IBAN. For an ASB NZD account, the IBAN is not required. Your full account number can be used in place of the IBAN.
- BSB or Sort Code: If you are transferring money to an ASB NZD account, provide the first six digits of your full account number as the BSB or Sort Code. This represents both the bank and branch codes. For instance, if your account number is 12-3456-0123456-00, then your BSB or Sort Code is 12-3456. If you are transferring money to an ASB Foreign Currency Account, a Sort Code is not necessary.
It is important to ensure that all the information provided is accurate to facilitate a smooth and secure transfer of funds.

International money transfer fees
International money transfers from an ASB account can be made using FastNet Classic internet banking. This service costs $5, but overseas banks involved in the transaction may also impose fees and charges, which will be deducted from the transferred amount. This means that the beneficiary will receive a lower amount than originally transferred.
To avoid these fees, you can choose the 'sender to pay' option, which means you will pay all fees and charges imposed by overseas banks.
ASB customers can also make international money transfers at any ASB branch.
The fees for international money transfers vary based on factors such as the country you are sending money to and from, the details of your account, and any specific conditions surrounding your transfer.
ASB notes that they can provide no guarantee as to when the payment will be available to the payee.

Managing foreign currency
To send an international money transfer, you will need the beneficiary's full name and address, their account number or IBAN (International Bank Account Number), and their bank's name, address, and SWIFT Code (also known as a Bank Identifier Code/BIC). You will also need to be registered for a Netcode to make an international money transfer.
If you are receiving money from an overseas account into your ASB account, you are the beneficiary. Your ASB account is the beneficiary account, and you will need to provide your account number and ASB's SWIFT code/BIC: ASBBNZ2A.
It is important to note that international money transfers attract fees and charges imposed by overseas banks involved in the transaction. These fees are typically deducted from the beneficiary.
