Bank transfers and times

How long does it take to transfer money?

To Bank Australia accounts in Australia

Transfers are processed immediately and are available straight away.

‍

To other banks in Australia

Nowadays, many transfers between Australian banks happen using Osko – you'll see the symbol when you do your transfer. Osko payments typically transfer in less than a few minutes. 

Other payments (not Osko) are generally available on the next business day. Noting that if you make the payment after business hours, it could take an extra day (depending on the other bank’s processing times, too).

BPay transfers can take up to 72 business hours to arrive, make note of this when paying bills, credit cards and loan payouts.

International bank transfers

The timeframes vary depending on the banks at the other end of the transfer. Read about our international transfer service.
