How do I receive money with my AUD account details?

We're temporarily unable to accept Swift payments to AUD global account details if your registered address is in Australia.

Account details are a set of details for a currency to receive money.

Once you have your AUD account details, you’ll have your own account number where you can receive Australian dollars. 

This isn’t a bank account, but you can receive money in the same way by sharing the account number and BSB code with friends, family, clients or companies, so that they can send you money. 

They can pay you locally from their Australian bank, or internationally by Swift. Once you receive the money, it’ll be credited to your AUD balance.

Opening new account details

You’ll first need to open an AUD balance. Then you select Get your account details and follow the steps. 

We’ll need to verify you before we can provide details to you.

Checking your account details

To see your details once you’ve got them, on the app or web:

1. Go on your AUD balance

2. Select the account details button just under the currency

3. You can view and copy your local account details to share with others

You can also request payments from your sender.

How your AUD account details work

Here is some general information about your account details.

Payments from inside Australia

To receive domestic transfers in AUD share following details with the sender:

• Name

• BSB code

• Account number

The sender’s bank will give them an estimate when they set up the payment — for any details about how long it takes, reach out to your sender so they can ask their bank.

Payments from outside Australia

If your payer is not able to make a domestic transfer, you can use your AUD details to receive Swift payments.

Payments by Swift to AUD details

To receive international Swift transfers in AUD share following details with the sender:

• Name

• Account number 

• Swift/BIC code

They can send Swift payments to your account from anywhere in the world.

They should only send you AUD to these account details, because we can't process international payments in any other currency.

We don’t charge any additional fees to receive international payments in AUD, but correspondent banks might apply their own fees.

Payments by Swift to GBP details

You can also receive AUD from outside Australia by Swift with your GB IBAN.

Let the sender know that you want to receive AUD into your GBP details so you can avoid conversion fees. Some banks might recognise the GBP IBAN and want to convert AUD to GBP, but this isn't necessary.

If their bank asks them the country of the recipient’s (your) bank, tell them to select the United Kingdom.
