When you send an international direct credit³ to an overseas bank account from your NZD account or your foreign currency account:
¹ SHA fees are shared between the sender and beneficiary of the payment: overseas bank fees will be deducted from the payment. This will mean the beneficiary receives less than you have sent. ² OUR fees are paid by the sender of the payment. You will pay an additional fee, which will be added to your payment fee to cover overseas bank fees. By choosing this option, the full amount you send should reach the beneficiary, however, this is not within Kiwibank’s control and there may be additional fees charged to the beneficiary. ³ Direct credits are only available in Great British pounds and Australian dollars. |
