Bank transfers in Australian dollars (AUD)

A particular bank account, a transactional or current account, manages day-to-day banking transactions in Australia. There is a similar phenomenon in other countries as well. Such accounts give easy access to funds at any point in time.

Transactional accounts are most commonly used for receiving salaries, withdrawing money from ATMs through a bank card, shopping in shops and online, receiving funds at a bank branch, etc.

How to transfer money to AUD through an Australian bank

For example, let's consider the process of transferring through the bank's mobile application, which has almost all institutions and is very popular due to its convenience.

The procedure is almost the same everywhere; only the interface elements may differ:

1. Log in to the bank's app on your device.
2. Select the "Transfer" or "Pay" option from the menu.
3. Select the "Transfer to another bank client" option. Select a saved payee or add a new payee.
4. Enter the payee account name, BSB number and account number. BSB is a six-digit code used to identify a financial institution branch in Australia.
5. If desired, save the payee to speed up future payments.
6. Add a comment if you wish and click 'Continue'.
7. Enter the code from the SMS or push notification to confirm the payment.
8. If your bank allows, you can set the time to receive the payment - now or later.
9. Authorize the payment by entering your password or access code.

At the end, there is an option to save the payment receipt, for example, to send it to the recipient.
