How to send money from Australia to Dominican Republic

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is TapTap Send at 85,020 DOP on A$2,000.

TapTap Send was the cheapest on 3 of the 26 days it quoted A$2,000 transfers to Dominican Republic.

Funding is quick whoever you pick, so the choice comes down to the rate and how your recipient collects it.

Fund your transfer

You have 6 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, payto, poli, and osko.

PayID and Osko move money to the company in seconds at no cost, and PayID shows you the account name before you confirm.

Watch your bank's daily limit on anything large.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need a photo ID, usually a licence or a passport.

A passport and visa are enough if you’re new (you don’t need an Australian credit history).

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 DOP 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 4 of the last 30 days.

Right now, TapTap Send pays 85,020 DOP on 2,000 AUD, which is 1,382.94 DOP less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 85,929.2 DOP.

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.

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Dominican Republic.

We've tracked 316 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 11 amounts over the past month.

  1. TapTap SendAppeared in 294 comparisons

    Cheapest in 9% of them

  2. RevolutAppeared in 278 comparisons

    Cheapest in 23% of them

  3. RemitlyAppeared in 96 comparisons

    Cheapest in 21% of them

Based on 316 comparisons across 11 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today TapTap Send is the cheapest and gets you the most DOP, but it was the cheapest in only 9% of the 294 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

Revolut (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 23% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Dominican Republic.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with TapTap Send, since it's the cheapest right now.

Ways to send money from Australia to Dominican Republic

7 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to Dominican Republic.

Cheapest for most transfers

Online transfers

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

For example, sending A$2,000 with Remitly will get you 84,060 DOP after a A$0 fee and 2.75% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 6 of the 23 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.

TapTap Send takes A$0 in fees and 1.61% markup on a A$2,000 transfer, and your DOP arrives in minutes.

Over the past month, TapTap Send was the cheapest app on 12% 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 4.39% on AUD/DOP, 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 44% 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 DOP, handling invoices, batch payments, and more.

For receiving and spending

Multi-currency accounts

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

Revolut converts A$2,000 at 1.72% markup, and the DOP 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 Dominican Republic, split your life between two countries, or receive money from abroad.

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

Consider this before sending AUD to Dominican Republic

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/DOP transfer options

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

Cheapest

TapTap Send is cheapest when funded by debit card with cash pickup for the payout. Your recipient gets 85,020 DOP, which is 0.26% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Revolut delivers 84,803.17 DOP in within minutes when you use bank transfer 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 Dominican Republic.

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 Dominican Republic.

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.
