Receiving money in Australia: the local picture

Currency

Transfers into Australia land in Australian dollar (AUD), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.

How transfers settle

The New Payments Platform (NPP) enables Osko instant payments using PayID (mobile/email/ABN). Standard direct-entry transfers settle on business days. That matters for a transfer sent from Gold Coast: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.

Recipient details

Australian accounts use a 6-digit BSB (bank-state-branch) code plus a 6-10 digit account number. International details may use an Australian IBAN variant. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.

Regulation

Payments in Australia are overseen by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Only APRA-authorised institutions can call themselves banks in Australia. Check the ADI register; non-bank payment providers hold different (often no) prudential licences.
