How to send money from Indonesia to South Korea

Pick a company

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

On a 36,000,000 IDR transfer, Regency FX delivers the most KRW.

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

2 companies send money from Indonesia to South Korea, using online, app, multi-currency account, global account, and broker and other options.

One-off and everyday transfers

Online transfers

Wise charges 335720 IDR to send Rp36,000,000 and your recipient gets 2,697,429 KRW in within minutes.

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.

Saving for future payments

Valas account

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

This works well if you need KRW regularly, travel to South Korea, 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 South Korea.

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.

What to consider when sending IDR to South Korea

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.

For an Rp36,000,000 transfer to South Korea, start with the final option that gets you the most KRW.

Cheapest way to send money to South Korea

The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 2,714,108.07 KRW, which is 0.61% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to South Korea

Wise delivers 2,697,429 KRW 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 KRW to a person in South Korea.

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 South Korea.
