If you’ll go to Australia to work or to study you will need an Australian bank account for the following reasons:
1. To send funds before leaving home
You can also use your statement to show you have enough funds on arrival in Australia.
2. Lower transaction fees
Using your local cards in Australia will result in very high bank charges in your home country and charged by the Australian banks. Our bank is the most popular bank in Australia. Transaction fees are the lowest in Australia at just AUD$5 per month and unlimited free transactions.
3. Employer
You will be required to have a bank account in order for an employer to pay you.
4. Using your local bank card may only work in some bank machines and using local debit or credit cards are expensive.
