AUD/BWP Exchange Rate History

Is today a good time to send money from Australia to Botswana?

The cheapest way to send AUD to BWP can change every day, or stay with the same company all month.

We've compared the mid-market rate with the cheapest option each day (today it's Wise), across 30 days of comparisons for 2,000 AUD transfers to Botswana.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send $2,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what $2,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more BWP per AUD than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 14 of the last 30 days.

Right now, Wise pays 19,118.43 BWP on 2,000 AUD, which is 136.10 BWP more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 19,582.36 BWP.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

Ways to send money from Australia to Botswana

5 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to Botswana.

Cheapest for most transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online with a “self-service” provider is usually the cheapest way to send money to Botswana.

For example, sending A$2,000 with Wise will get you 19,118.43 BWP after a A$62.21 fee and -3.87% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 16 of the 26 days it quoted.

To speed up the transfer, use PayID or bank transfer, this will ensure your money is withdrawn instantly from your AU bank account.

Plus, PayID shows the registered payee name, which gives you an extra check against the details you entered.

For regular transfers home

Money transfer apps

An app suits the transfer you make over and over to the same recipient, similar amount, every payday or so.

Wise takes A$62.21 in fees and -3.87% markup on a A$2,000 transfer, and your BWP arrives in within a week.

Over the past month, Wise was the cheapest app on 62% of the days it appeared for A$2,000 transfers.

Signing up is quick even if you're new to Australia.

A passport and visa are enough for most money transfer apps, and no local credit history is needed.

For large AUD transfers

Currency brokers

Money transfer brokers are best for large transfers, like buying property, moving abroad, or paying student fees.

On transfers of $10,000 or more, a broker like Xe drops the fee entirely and works on margin instead.

With Xe you get 0.46% on AUD/BWP, and it gets lower the more you send.

You also get an account manager for the whole thing.

Our analysis shows Xe was the cheapest broker in 34% of all the transfers it quoted.

For overseas business payments

Business accounts

Global accounts like Airwallex are great for paying suppliers, contractors or staff in BWP, handling invoices, batch payments, and more.

For receiving and spending

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold AUD and BWP in one account, and convert when the rate suits you.

Wise converts A$2,000 at -3.87% markup, and the BWP sits in your account until you spend or transfer it.

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

Most useful if you travel often to Botswana, split your life between two countries, or receive money from abroad.

We also created a guide going into more detail about multi currency accounts.

Ways to fund AUD and receive money in Botswana

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending A$2,000 gives your recipient 19,118.43 BWP.

You can fund the transfer with debit card, credit card, bank transfer, osko, PayID, POLi, and PayTo.

You can pay with PayID

Use the PayID supplied by the company and confirm the recipient name shown by your Australian bank before approving the payment.

Recipients in Botswana can collect BWP through bank deposit, mobile wallet, and cash pickup.

Your recipient can have BWP delivered to a mobile wallet, without a bank account.

Use our payout filters above to find the cheapest company offering mobile wallet withdrawals.

They can collect cash via Ria Money Transfer

For cash collection, the recipient should take a photo ID and the transfer reference to a participating location in Botswana.

Consider this before sending AUD to Botswana

Every international transfer is reportable by the company handling it, but that is not a tax or a form you normally file yourself. PayID can fund the transfer, while the overseas leg still needs a transfer provider.

Compare AUD/BWP transfer options

For a A$2,000 transfer to Botswana, these are the best options right now:

Cheapest

Wise is cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 19,118.43 BWP, which is 0.76% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Remitly delivers 18,548 BWP in within an hour when you use debit card and choose bank deposit as payout.

If you need money urgently, we've put together a guide on instant money transfers.

PayID is domestic only

PayID and Osko move Australian dollars between local accounts.

When a money transfer company accepts PayID, it collects the AUD in Australia and then handles the conversion and payout in Botswana.

Confirm the registered business name shown by your bank before approving the PayID payment.

AUSTRAC reporting

The bank or remittance company reports international transfer instructions to AUSTRAC.

This applies to international transfers generally, rather than only those above A$10,000.

You do not normally submit the international transfer report yourself.

A separate threshold report applies when a transaction involves A$10,000 or more in physical cash.

Large or unusual transfers can still trigger source-of-funds checks. Keep the sale agreement, invoice or bank statement that explains the payment ready.

Cash gifts can affect Centrelink payments

Australia does not generally tax a genuine cash gift simply because you send it to family in Botswana.

Gifting money can still affect income-tested or asset-tested Centrelink payments.

Services Australia can continue assessing gifts above its gifting free areas under the income and assets tests.

If you or your partner receive a relevant payment, check the gifting rules before sending a large amount.

Bank protection in Australia

The Financial Claims Scheme protects eligible Australian-dollar deposits with an Australian-incorporated ADI, up to A$250,000 per account holder per ADI.

It does not automatically cover money held by a non-bank transfer company.

In case of issues, if a complaint is not resolved, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority is the free external dispute service for member financial firms.
