Inward Payments

Print

An Inward Payment is an electronic transfer of funds directly credited to your account from an overseas payer. The payer sends funds in their own currency, and WUBS then converts the payment into Australian Dollars before transferring the funds to your SERVICE ONE Alliance Bank account.

Benefits of receiving money this way

  • you're not charged a beneficiary deduction fee, so you'll receive the full amount of your inward payment (see note below about fees)
  • in most cases the transaction is treated as a local transaction and no fee is charged by WUBS to process your payment
  • payments are handled by foreign exchange specialists with reliable systems to receive your payment
  • you can usually expect funds in your account within two business days of the payer making payment 
  • wide range of currencies offered
