Send money to and from Australia
Whichever direction you're moving money, AUD pricing from your bank carries a 2–4% margin you never see itemised. X Rate Capital prices Australian Dollars off the live interbank market, settles same-day, often within minutes of funds clearing over the New Payments Platform (Osko), and puts a named specialist on every transfer.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a transfer to Australia take?+
Funds reach the beneficiary over the New Payments Platform (Osko), typically same-day, often within minutes of funds clearing once your money has cleared and the beneficiary is verified. Australian dollars land over the New Payments Platform, which settles in near real time. AUSTRAC requires reporting on international transfers, which your provider handles.
What should I know about sending money out of Australia?+
Australia has no limit on outbound transfers, though AUSTRAC reporting applies to international movements.
What is the Australian Dollars exchange rate today?+
The calculator above runs off live mid-market pricing, so it reflects where AUD is trading right now rather than a rate refreshed once a day. For the rate you'd actually trade at on a specific amount, request a live quote — pricing improves as the size goes up.
Why do people move money to and from Australia?+
Most of the volume we handle on this route is driven by emigration, Australian property, and pension and salary income following people who've moved.
Is X Rate Capital regulated?+
Yes. Payment services are delivered through FCA-authorised partners — Sciopay Ltd (FRN 927951) and Equals Connect Limited (FRN 671508). Client funds are safeguarded in segregated accounts with tier-1 UK banks.
