Sending Money Overseas - Other Banks Fees

In addition to the fees charged by St.George [and any conversion of proceeds], an international payment may also result in additional fees and charges being deducted by:

  • one or more other overseas banks involved in the international payment (an "Other Banks Fee"); and/or
  • the payment recipient's bank.

This could result in the recipient receiving less than the amount you originally sent.  An estimate of such Other Banks Fees can be found below based on the currency of the payment and the country / region the payment is being sent to.

 

Important information about the estimated other bank fees:

  • Information in this table is based on the data obtained from an estimated average fee charge from a range of sources including (but not limited to) SWIFT data (February - April 2020) and other bank fees we are aware of.

  • Fees charged by the payment recipient's bank are not included in the estimate.

  • This table is intended to be used as a guide. There may be significant variance in the actual amount deducted by another overseas bank compared to the estimated fees in the table.
