How to send money from Indonesia to New Zealand

Pick a company

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

On a 4,200,000 IDR transfer, Wise delivers the most NZD.

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

Ways to send money from Indonesia to New Zealand

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

One-off and everyday transfers

Online transfers

Wise charges 56277 IDR to send Rp4,200,000 and your recipient gets 406.54 NZD in next day.

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

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

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

For cash pickup

In-person transfers

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

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

Only use agents that hold 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 NZD and hold it before spending abroad, travelling, or paying other bills in New Zealand.

This works well if you need NZD regularly, travel to New Zealand, 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 New Zealand.

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 NZD in New Zealand

With Wise, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending Rp4,200,000 gives your recipient 406.54 NZD.

You can fund the IDR side through bank transfer.

Pay from Indonesian bank account

A money transfer comapny 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 then send it to New Zealand.

Your recipient can receive NZD by bank deposit.

What to consider when sending IDR to New Zealand

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/NZD options

For an Rp4,200,000 transfer to New Zealand, start with the final option that gets you the most NZD.

Cheapest way to send money to New Zealand

The cheapest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 406.54 NZD, which is 8.58% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to New Zealand

PayPal App (P2P Transfer) delivers 371.67 NZD in 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 NZD to a person in New Zealand.

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 New Zealand.
