How to transfer money overseas
-
To transfer money to another country, you'll need the following information from your recipient:
- Their full name and street address (not a PO Box)
- The IBAN or bank account number
- A SWIFT code or BIC (this identifies their bank) or the full bank address
- Any other information they have like sort codes or routing code
If you need some help, we can show you how easy it is. Watch our video, transfer money overseas using NAB Connect.
-
SWIFT (or BIC) code is the international standard used to identify a bank.
So if you want money to be transferred to your account from a person in another country, you need to give them a SWIFT code.
The preferred SWIFT code is VIC/TAS: NATAAU3303M
If you are speaking to a customer about a new request, use VIC/TAS SWIFT code.
NAB's SWIFT codes (or BIC code) for all Australian states are:
- NSW/ACT: NATAAU3302S
- VIC/TAS: NATAAU3303M
- QLD: NATAAU3304B
- SA/NT: NATAAU3305A
- WA: NATAAU3306P
You also need your BSB number for an electronic funds transfer from overseas. If you're looking for another bank's IBAN or SWIFT code, you should contact that bank directly.
-
The money leaves your account shortly after you submit and authorise your transfer, generally within one business day.
Fund transfers are usually received by the beneficiary's bank within 24 hours.
We’ll return your funds to your NAB account if the transfer is unsuccessful for whatever reason.
You can view the status of your international transfer real time in NAB Connect. Read more about international payment tracking.
