-
When will my FX transfer arrive?The length of time it takes for your FX transfer to reach the beneficiary will depend on what currency you are buying and the destination country. For most currencies, it will typically be within 24-48 hours of receiving your funds (depending on what time of the day we receive your funds). From time to time there can be delays beyond our control. For example, where intermediary or receiving banks hold funds up or take time to apply to the beneficiary account.

Will my beneficiary receive the same amount that I send?Forex Sport does not charge any fees so the amount we transfer is the same as the amount that you request. However, in some cases there are third party fees that are charged that are beyond our control. For example, the beneficiary bank may deduct or charge a fee upon receiving a payment sent by us, dependent on the beneficiary's account fee structure. Furthermore, the correspondent bank may charge a fee for making the payment to the beneficiary bank and those fees may be deducted from the amount remitted to the beneficiary bank. These third-party fees are beyond our control and we receive no benefit from them and we cannot necessarily predict when they will be charged or the amount of the fees. You therefore need to bear in mind that the amount you are sending may not always be the same as the amount received into the beneficiary account.

What is an IBAN number?An IBAN, or International Bank Account Number, is a globally recognised sequence of letters and numbers used to process select cross border payments. It was originally adopted by member states of the European Union and has since been taken up by other countries. International payments from Australian accounts to IBAN-recognised countries will thus require a valid IBAN. The actual number can be very long, sometimes stretching up to 30 or more characters, depending on the destination country, bank and customer account number. It uniquely identifies the bank account of the intended recipient, and will need to be sourced from them before you can complete the overseas transfer. If the IBAN is incorrect or missing, a charge may be applied by the receiving bank and the transfer may not go through.
