Correspondent Bank Fees and Other Banks Fees
If you transact with Westpac, you will not be charged a Correspondent Bank Fee for your international transfers in over 10 currencies. These include USD, NZD, EUR, GBP and INR.

Based on the currency of the transfer and the country/region the transfer is being sent to, additional fees may be deducted by another overseas bank or the transfer recipient’s bank. Overseas banks may impose fees and charges or convert the currency of the payment. Westpac might not have any control over the fees, charges or foreign currency conversions imposed by these institutions. Any overseas financial institution handling charges will by default be borne by he recipient of the international money transfer and deducted from the payment amount, unless otherwise organised. It is possible that the overseas bank could convert the currency of the payment at an unfavourable exchange rate. You should inform the beneficiary that, if this occurs, they should consider rejecting the payment immediately so the payment can be unwound at the prevailing exchange rate. 

 

If you do not want the currency to be converted, please insert the words “Do Not Convert” in the description details free text box when you are making an international money transfer and we will on-forward this instruction. Westpac does not guarantee that this approach will be effective and takes no responsibility if an intermediary bank converts the funds.
