AUD/RUB Exchange Rate History

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

The cheapest way to send AUD to RUB 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 OFX), across 30 days of comparisons for 3,080 AUD transfers to Russia.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send $3,080, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what $3,080 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 RUB per AUD than the mid-market rate can offer.

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

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of RUB on every transfer from Australia.

Right now, OFX pays 174,826.50 RUB on 3,080 AUD, which is 1,143.81 RUB less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 181,694.01 RUB.

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.

Ways to send money from Australia to Russia

2 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to Russia.

Cheapest for most transfers

Online transfers

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

For example, sending A$3,080 with Remitly will get you 173,373.20 RUB after a A$0 fee and 1.49% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 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To speed up the transfer, use PayID or bank transfer, this will ensure your money is withdrawn instantly from your AU bank account.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.

Remitly takes A$0 in fees and 1.49% markup on a A$3,080 transfer, and your RUB arrives in within an hour.

Over the past month, Remitly was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for A$3,080 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 OFX drops the fee entirely and works on margin instead.

With OFX you get 0.65% on AUD/RUB, and it gets lower the more you send.

You also get an account manager for the whole thing.

Our analysis shows OFX was the cheapest broker in 51% 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 RUB, handling invoices, batch payments, and more.

Ways to fund AUD and receive money in Russia

With OFX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending A$3,080 gives your recipient 174,826.50 RUB.

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

Recipients in Russia can collect RUB through bank deposit.

Consider this before sending AUD to Russia

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/RUB transfer options

For a A$3,080 transfer to Russia, these are the best options right now:

Cheapest

OFX is cheapest when funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 174,826.50 RUB, which is 0.83% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Remitly delivers 173,373.20 RUB 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 Russia.

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 Russia.

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.
