Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is MoneyGram at 16,403.6 GHS on $2,000.

Fund your transfer

You have 7 ways to pay, including debit card, bank transfer, credit card, poli, payto, payid, 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).

Ways to send money from Australia to Ghana

9 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to Ghana.

Cheapest for most transfers

Online transfers

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

For example, sending $500 with MoneyGram will get you 16,403.6 GHS after a $0 fee and -0.52% markup.

To speed up the transfer, use PayID or bank transfer, this will ensure your money is withdrawn instantly from your AU bank account.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

MoneyGram takes $0 in fees and -0.52% markup on a $0 transfer, and your GHS arrives in 6-12 hours.

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 0.91% on AUD/GHS, and it gets lower the more you send.

You also get an account manager for the whole thing.

For overseas business payments

Business accounts

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

For receiving and spending

Multi-currency accounts

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

Revolut converts $2,000 at 0.68% markup, and the GHS sits in your account until you spend or transfer it.

Most useful if you travel often to Ghana, 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 India

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/INR transfer options

For an $2,000 transfer to Ghana, these are the best options right now:

Cheapest

MoneyGram is cheapest when funded by debit card with mobile wallet for the payout. Your recipient gets 16,403.6 GHS, which is 0.51% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Revolut delivers 16,184.11 GHS 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 Ghana.

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 Ghana.

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.

Live AUD-GHS Exchange Rate

Getting a better AUD to GHS rate

Small changes in the AUD/GHS rate can make a noticeable difference to the amount received, especially on a larger transfer.

Mid-market rate:1 AUD = 8.16928 GHS
