6 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to Zimbabwe.
Cheapest for most transfers
Sending money online with a “self-service” provider is usually the cheapest way to send money to Zimbabwe.
For example, sending $500 with Xe will get you 1,398.54 USD after a $0 fee and 0.35% 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To speed up the transfer, use PayID or bank transfer, this will ensure your money is withdrawn instantly from your AU bank account.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
An app suits the transfer you make over and over to the same recipient, similar amount, every payday or so.
TapTap Send takes $0 in fees and 0.25% markup on a $0 transfer, and your USD arrives in minutes.
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
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 0.35% on AUD/USD, and it gets lower the more you send.
You also get an account manager for the whole thing.
For overseas business payments
Global accounts like Airwallex are great for paying suppliers, contractors or staff in USD, handling invoices, batch payments, and more.
For receiving and spending
Multi-currency accounts let you hold AUD and USD in one account, and convert when the rate suits you.
Wise converts $2,000 at 0.04% markup, and the USD sits in your account until you spend or transfer it.
Most useful if you travel often to Zimbabwe, split your life between two countries, or receive money from abroad.
We also created a guide going into more detail about multi currency accounts.

If you need money urgently, we've put together a guide on instant money transfers.
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 Zimbabwe.
Confirm the registered business name shown by your bank before approving the PayID payment.
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.
Australia does not generally tax a genuine cash gift simply because you send it to family in Zimbabwe.
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.
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.
Small changes in the AUD/USD rate can make a noticeable difference to the amount received, especially on a larger transfer.
