Sending Money via Telegraphic Transfer

What is a Telegraphic Transfer (TT)?

A Telegraphic Transfer (also known as a “Wire”) is an electronic transfer of funds directly credited to a beneficiary’s overseas bank account. A choice of more than 130 currencies is offered.


Why should I use a TT?

  • In most cases a TT is the quickest way to send funds abroad (a TT will normally take one to three business days to reach the beneficiary)1.
  • Sending a TT in the beneficiary’s currency is usually more cost effective and helps ensure the funds are credited more quickly, as the payment can go 'straight through'2.


What details do I need to send a TT?

You will need to provide full details of the receiver’s bank account, including their IBAN (International Bank Account Number) if they are in Europe. To comply with Australian Government regulations you must also provide the beneficiary’s full street address.

The list of details you will require include:

  • Beneficiary Bank Full Name
  • Beneficiary Bank Full Address
  • Account Number
  • Beneficiary's Full Name
  • Beneficiary's Residential Address
  • Purpose (Reference)

You may also need to provide some additional information when sending a Telegraphic Transfer to the following countries:

  • Europe: International Bank Account number (IBAN) – the IBAN incorporates the bank, sort code and account number
  • United Kingdom: IBAN
  • New Zealand: Bank code
  • Malaysia: National ID number or Company number
  • USA: ABA or routing code

Please Note: TT’s are sent via a network of correspondent banks, which sometimes levy a small handling charge on your payment. Any such fees are out of Credit Union Bankand Convera's control. Given that a network of banks is used to complete your telegraphic transfer, the time it takes for your payment to be credited cannot be guaranteed.
