How does it work?
Banks worldwide are set up to be able to securely exchange funds with each other using the same standard documentation and processes. Money can be sent overseas by International money transfer. ASB offers this in a variety of foreign currencies.

International money transfers
The easiest and most secure way to send money overseas is via an electronic transfer of funds called an international money transfer – sometimes known as a wire or telegraphic transfer.
If you bank with ASB, you can complete your international money transfers in FastNet Classic internet banking or FastNet Business internet banking; if you’re not already registered you can find out how to join. Alternatively, you can visit any ASB branch and arrange the transfer over the counter. Find out how to make an international money transfer.
