Transfering $$ into an Aussie Acc

Go into your bank with all the details and they will do it for you. There will be a fee involved.

yeah take their name, account number and bank they bank with into your bank - may cost you a bit for the transfer though.

Western Union otherwise do money tranfers and they have offices all over...we used them for ones to USA and China recently when setting up initial stock purchases for our business

You may need to get a SWIFT number too? Not 100% sure but I had someone from Oz want to transfer money to our work account a few weeks ago and he needed a SWIFT number to do it.

details needed are

Australian bank and account:

Full name of bank account (person)
their address

Bank name, branch and address

Bank account number (in full)

they may been a BSB number or swift code - but most banks can ring their international help desk to find this out if they do.

it cost $25 at most places and is pretty quick (I did one and my brother got it the next day)

Please note - You can only do these at your own branch now as they have got tough on fraud and stuff

and its called a Telegraphic transfer.

You could also get a bank draft/international chequw but that takes longer as you have to send to over to them.
