Frequently asked questions
How long does a transfer from Australia to Canada take?+

Canadian dollars settle by EFT, with larger values routed over Lynx the same business day. FINTRAC reporting applies to international transfers and is handled for you. Your named specialist confirms exact timing before you book.
What do I need to know about sending money out of Australia?+

Are there fees to send AUD to CAD?+
No account or monthly fees. We earn a small, transparent margin on the exchange rate, disclosed before you confirm the trade — so the amount on your confirmation is the amount that arrives. Compare that with a bank quote, where the margin sits inside the rate and a wire fee sits on top.
How much could I save versus my bank on a AUD/CAD transfer?+
On a typical bank margin of 2–4%, a £50,000-equivalent transfer costs £1,000–£2,000 in spread you never see itemised. Our margin is a fraction of that and shown to you before you commit. The calculator above gives you an indicative AUD/CAD figure to compare against your bank's quote.
What are people usually sending AUD to CAD for?+
Most AUD/CAD volume we handle is driven by relocation, Canadian property, and family support both ways along a heavily-travelled migration route. Whichever applies to you, the same desk handles the deposit, the staged payments and the completion, so you're not re-explaining your situation each time.

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.
