How to send money from Indonesia to Australia

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Indonesia, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Wise.

Wise was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted Rp4.200.000 transfers to Australia.

On a 4.200.000 IDR transfer, Wise delivers the most AUD.

This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best IDR/AUD rate.

Fund your transfer

You can fund the transfer using bank transfer.

With money transfer companies, you're given a virtual account number to pay into, and in many cases (depending on the company) you can use BI-FAST to fund it.

It costs about Rp2,500 and caps at Rp250 million.

Verify and send

First time round you'll likely need your KTP and a selfie with it to verify your account.

Larger transfers need documents showing what the money is for (such as tuition letter or similar).

IDR/AUD Exchange Rate History

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

The cheapest way to send IDR to AUD 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 4.200.000 IDR transfers to Australia.

AUD received for Rp 4.200.000, after fees

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send Rp 4.200.000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what Rp 4.200.000 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 AUD per IDR 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 AUD on every transfer from Indonesia.

Right now, Wise pays 326,76 AUD on 4.200.000 IDR, which is 3,88 AUD less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 329,29 AUD.

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.

Cheapest over time

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 Australia.

We've tracked 59 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 2 amounts over the past month.

WiseAppeared in 59 comparisons
Cheapest every time
PayPal App (P2P Transfer)Appeared in 30 comparisons
Never the cheapest
MoneyGram AgentAppeared in 30 comparisons
Never the cheapest

Based on 59 comparisons across 2 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 Wise is the cheapest and gets you the most AUD, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 59 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Australia.

PayPal App (P2P Transfer) (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Australia.

Ways to send money from Indonesia to Australia

4 companies send money from Indonesia to Australia, using in person, online, app, multi-currency account, and global business account and other options.

One-off and everyday transfers

Online transfers

Wise charges 52.153 IDR to send Rp4.200.000 and your recipient gets 326,76 AUD in within minutes.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

Most of Indonesia’s outbound transfer services are local and licensed by Bank Indonesia.

Avoid unregulated money transfer companies, even if the exchange rate looks better.

Make sure to check for the words “berizin dan diawasi Bank Indonesia” on the company's website or app before sending.

For cash pickup

In-person transfers

You have a few options to send cash to Australia, and the cheapest is MoneyGram Agent.

Our data shows MoneyGram Agent came out cheapest among in-person options on 100% of days in the past month.

You will need to pay MoneyGram Agent online by bank transfer, and your recipient collects AUD in cash at the nearest branch.

Only use agents that hold a Bank Indonesia transfer licence.

Saving for future payments

Valas account

A valas account (a.k.a a multi-currency account) lets you convert IDR to AUD and hold it before spending abroad, travelling, or paying other bills in Australia.

This works well if you need AUD regularly, travel to Australia, or get paid in from there.

Paying suppliers

Global accounts

Global accounts help Indonesian businesses hold foreign currency and make regular payments to suppliers in Australia.

Wise Business and Payoneer handle recurring business transfers, but a bank’s solusi valas desk may be more useful when the payment needs invoices or other supporting documents.

Ways to fund IDR and receive AUD in Australia

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending Rp4.200.000 gives your recipient 326,76 AUD.

You can fund the IDR side through bank transfer.

Pay from Indonesian bank account

A money transfer company will give you bank details for top-up, send money to it from your Indonesian bank.

BI-FAST can be used to fund the transfer inside Indonesia (some companies support it), but the company will then use an internal network to send it to Australia.

Your recipient can receive AUD by bank deposit.

What to consider when sending IDR to Australia

The main check in Indonesia is whether the service is licensed to send money out. Many international brands only support transfers coming into the country.

Compare the IDR/AUD options

For a Rp4.200.000 transfer to Australia, start with the final option that gets you the most AUD.

Cheapest way to send money to Australia

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 326,76 AUD, which is 8,69% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Australia

Wise delivers 326,76 AUD in within minutes when you pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit.

BI-FAST and QRIS are domestic only

BI-FAST can be used to deposit IDR to the transfer company's local account, but it does not send AUD to a person in Australia.

QRIS is also a payment system rather than an international person-to-person transfer.

The purpose matters on larger payments

Banks must record the purpose of an outgoing foreign-currency transfer and can ask for supporting documents such as invoices, agreements, etc.

Bank Indonesia's current foreign-exchange rules include documentation requirements once relevant thresholds are crossed.

Those thresholds and exemptions can change, so ask the bank what it needs before making a large transfer to Australia.
