If you’re receiving regular or one-off foreign currency payments to an Australian bank account, our inward telegraphic transfer service may be the ideal solution.

Reliable & cost effective incoming international payment service

Backed by Convera, Queensland Country offers a timely and reliable incoming international payment service.

When you’re bringing money across from another country, transaction charges from the banks can take a big chunk out of your payment. Instead of saying goodbye to your cash, you can choose an easy way to receive your payment at a much lower cost.

By leveraging the Convera global banking network, you may be able to avoid or reduce transaction fees2. When funds are deposited into Convera’s nominated account they will arrange for the funds to be transferred to your Queensland Country account at a competitive and guaranteed exchange rate, without charging any fees1&2.

Inward telegraphic transfers

An inward telegraphic transfer (also known as an “inward wire”) is an electronic transfer of funds directly credited to your account from an overseas remitter. In most cases a TT is the quickest way to receive funds from abroad (a TT will normally take three-to-four business days to be credited to your account, although this can never be guaranteed).

How does it work?

The remitter should send the funds in their own currency, and Convera will convert them into Australian dollars before forwarding to Queensland Country for credit to your account.
