  • Funds are usually received by the beneficiary’s bank within 24 hours when submitted before the applicable currency cut-off time. You can view the tracking status of your payment along with other information via NAB Connect or NAB Internet Banking.

  • NAB Connect fees depend on how the payment is made: 

    • $0 for an international payment with currency conversion; or 
    • $20 for a payment in AUD or from a NAB Foreign Currency Account in the same currency. 

    Overseas or intermediary bank charges may also apply.

  • Overseas bank charges may also be payable and where possible, are clearly stated when completing your transfer. You can elect to pay overseas bank charges from your account, or deducted from the funds you send.

  • To receive an international money transfer into your NAB account, you need to give the sender these details:

    • Bank: National Australia Bank
    • BIC/SWIFT code: NATAAU3303M
    • BSB (bank, state, branch) and account number: Refer to your internet banking or account statements. Please check these carefully – in accordance with Australian industry standards, payments made to an account number may be paid to that account whether or not the name of the account matches.
    • Beneficiary name and address: Your full name (no initials) and street address (cannot be a post office box).

    Important:

    • Australian banks don't use IBANs.
    • Foreign Currency Accounts don't require a BSB. BSB 082-039 can be provided to the remitter if they request one.
