Best way to transfer money overseas from Australia

Here at Paysend we’re on a mission to make it easy and affordable to send money from any country to any country, and we won’t stop until we’ve created a world without borders for all of our users! We’re delighted to announce that our lightning-fast global money transfers can now be sent from Australia!

Where do people in Australia send their money?

People living and working in Australia send around $17 billion around the world every year. The top destinations for Australian money are China, India and Vietnam, closely followed by the UK and the Philippines.

Is Paysend right for you? 

Traditional methods of money transfer involve long queues in banks, remittance shops and post offices. This way of sending money is best for some, who need help from a cashier to send their money, but the queues, high fees and poor exchange rates put many people off.

Paysend allows users to send money from Australia all around the world from their smartphone via the Paysend app. We allow you to send money directly to cards or bank accounts for a flat, low fee. 

How much does it cost to send money from Australia with Paysend? 

Paysend charges a flat fee of just A$2 for every money transfer from Australia to any other country in the world. That means if you want to send A$20, A$200 or A$2000 from Australia to the UK, it will always cost you just A$2.

When will my money reach its destination?

Money sent with Paysend will usually arrive in your recipient’s bank account or on their card within a few minutes of being sent. However, it may take up to three days if your recipient’s bank isn’t quite as quick at processing payments as us! Paysend will always aim to get your money where you want it to go as quickly as possible. You may also read about how to easily transfer money to Australia online!

How do I get started with Paysend?

Setting up an account with Paysend takes just a few minutes. Simply download the app to your iOS or Android device and start living a life without borders.

Nigeria’s Global Strength: How Digital Payments Empower a Growing Diaspora

Nigeria’s diaspora is one of the largest and most vibrant in the world. From London to Lagos, New York to Abuja, Nigerians abroad play a critical role in fueling growth back home—through business, education, and, importantly, remittances. In 2024, remittances to Nigeria were about four times the value of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the country. 


Remittances remain a vital lifeline for families and local economies, providing everyday essentials and enabling opportunity. And today, digital payments are transforming how this support is sent: fast, safe, and affordable.

Preserving Culture in a Modern World: How the Philippines’ Indigenous Communities Keep Traditions Alive

Every October, the Philippines celebrates National Indigenous Peoples’ Month, a time to honor the country’s original storytellers, builders and guardians of the land.


Across islands and generations, more than 100 Indigenous communities continue to keep centuries-old traditions alive, from weaving and farming to music, rituals and storytelling. In the mountains of the Cordilleras and the forests of Mindanao, you’ll find practices that have endured for generations. The Ifugao still tend to their ancient rice terraces, the T’boli weave T’nalak from dreams, and the Manobo pass on songs that tell the stories of their ancestors.

But in a world moving faster than ever, these communities face a challenge: how to protect what’s sacred while embracing what’s new.
