Hello guys! 🙂

Tanong ko lang po if paano magtransfer from BDO account (PHP Peso) to Commonwealth Bank (AUD), pwede po ba magtransfer?

Or kailangan ko po muna mag withdraw from BDO then deposit nalang sa Commonwealth account?

Thank you!

Makakapag open ka lang ata pero di siya magagamit hanggat di ka nakakarating Aus. Were finding ways din to transfer our moekaos need ata tlaga andun kana

I think pde ka nman mgdala ng cash in excess of 10k. You just have to declare and provide evidence ng source of money. Pde dn bank transfers im not sure with bdo pero majority allows nman transfer to international bank thou with limit nga lang or bka you could explore remitly.
This is rather risky. Posible kang i-question and pag hinalaang sangkot sa money laundering kung mag dadala ka ng excess 10K. Pwede mo namang ma access ang Ph bank account mo on your mobile (provided you have the app) when your Ph sim has activated its roaming status. Saka mo ma transfer ang pera mo to your Aus bank.

Pwede bang ganito if ang pera mo ay PHP?

Or open ng australian dollar account sa BPI or BDO then ikaw na mismong magwire transfer sa AU account?

Ano kaya ang fees or charges if done by yourself pag online.

Bakit ang tagal? NAB din ako and I transferred money before I moved to AU. Kinuha ko yung EFTPOS card in the morning & then nung hapon nagamit ko na sa grocery.

You can't use the money in the account until after you visit the bank for KYC. During that visit bibigyan ka ng EFTPOS card which you can activate at the branch and you can start using it. If you want a Visa or Mastercard na debit card, you can apply na during that visit and they will mail it to your residence.

Madam, recently nag change na ng rules ang NAB. Di na sila nagaallow mag open ng account ang mga new migrants before arrival.

Mangyayari nyan, pagdating nyo na lang kayo mag open then transfer nyo na lang online yung pera from SG account to NAB.

Nagdeposit ako from the Philippines. Parang AU$1k lang yata yung handcarry ko.

Yun talaga yung purpose ng new migrant account - to deposit money in para pagdating sa AU may magagamit na.

Yun talaga yung purpose ng new migrant account - to deposit money before you leave your home country para pagdating sa AU may magagamit na, at hindi kailangan i-exceed yung allowable limit for handcarry.

Based sa website nila, you need to visit the branch in Australia before you can use your new account.

Open a CommBank account up to 14 days before you arrive in Australia, or up to three months after you arrive. You’ll need to visit a branch once you arrive in Australia and provide identification documents and tax residency details before you can use your new account.

May nakasubok na po bang mag-visit sa Australia, open ng bank account dun (mukhang pwede mo sa CommBank even as a tourist), go back to the PH and then deposit regularly into the AU bank account para slowly building up savings while nagpo-process ng visa application? Di ko lang sure kung advisable, baka nakakain lang ang fees sa conversion... Hehe.

preciouspillow

What we did po is open an ANZ account offshore(in PH). Then from BPI nag transfer kami ng funds to ANZ account. Before we arrive here, we already set an appointment with ANZ to claim the ATMs (actually sila yung nag initiate ng appointment). I just presented my passport and binigay na nila yung ATM. The funds we transferred is less than $10k kaya within the day the credit na sya. (Yes, even offshore I could check my ANZ account).

https://www.anz.com.au/personal/bank-accounts/open-account/#moving

Tip 1: If magpapa transfer kayo sa BPI magpapalit narin kayo na AUD para isang puntahan nalang. I request nyo narin yung existing credit/debit cards to be accepted in Au. Although di naman required.

Tip 2: Nag ask ako sa branch manager if I could leave a remittance form na blank yung amount and they accepted it. Para if ever kulang funds namin ipapa process ko nlang sa kanya.. Thankfully hindi na namin nagamit.

Documents Presented sa BPI:

BPI Form (not sure kung remittance, pero dun kami sa bank humingi)

Plane ticket

Visa

CoE (since SV kami)

Hope this helps.

Hello po, sa pag-transfer po from BPI to ANZ, ang physical BPI branch po ba mismo ang nag-facilitate or ginawa niyo po all online? And may specific reason po ba why ANZ po ang napili nyo?

Salamat po!

Pumunta po ako sa BPI branch mismo. I think hindi pa pwede online nun (early 2022). But before going there, nag ask na ako ng mga requirements etc. ANZ lang napili namin kasi yun din bank ng sister ko and nasa top 4 naman sya kaya I think reliable. So far I have no problems with them.
