How do you send Money from AUSTRALIA to US?

Question

I'm looking for the cheapest type of remittance and reliable. What Banks in AUS remit money to the US Pls advise. Thanks.

Location is Brisbane AUS specifically.

Answer 1

All banks will send money to a US bank account, but charges vary with each bank.  You need to follow that up yourself.  An alternative is Western Union (think you can even do this at Post Offices), but it could be just a costly as a bank transfer.

Answer 2

The quickest and cheapest way I have found is through PAYPAL.

You transfer the money to your paypal account and then transfer it to the USA person to their paypal account. They then transfer it to their bank account.

Paypal is good also because you don't have to work out the currency conversions, they do it all on screen for you.
