Commonwealth Bank of Australia or CBA removed international transfer fees for its business and retail banking clients. This Australian bank waived a fee of AUD 6 for overseas funds transfer for Foreign Currency Account (FCA) and CBA Transaction Account holders. Any of these customers sending money internationally through CommBiz Platforms, CBA NetBank, or CommBank App are exempted from the transfer fee.
However, if an immigrant, business owner, or study in Australia student sends money internationally via a CBA branch, she/they/he will be charged USD 30 per transfer. Additionally, the correspondent bank also charges on overseas transfers.
Furthermore, the correspondent bank fees and destination bank charges depend on the arrangements between CBA and these banks.
