CBA FX at a glance

CBA, or Commonwealth Bank of Australia, is one of the largest and most well-known banks in Australia, offering a wide range of financial products and services to individuals, businesses, and institutions. The bank provides a range of personal banking services, including savings and transaction accounts, credit cards, personal loans, and mortgages. The bank also offers investment and retirement planning services, insurance, and wealth management services.

CBA Exchange Rates – Are you getting a good deal?

If you are a CBA customer and looking to send money overseas through an International Money Transfer (IMT) or get some travel money, you might be curious as to how the exchange rates you receive from CBA compare to other FX specialist providers.

With BER, you can easily view the exchange rate margins or markups provided by CBA for a range of different currencies. The exchange rate margin is the difference between the rate at which CBA buys and sells a particular currency. For example, at the time of writing, CBA exchange rate margins range from 4% to 8% for the different currencies.

So sending or receiving international transfers to or from your CBA account will cost an extra amount (between 4% to 8%) – this is much higher than most money transfer broker rates (which are normally 0.5 to 1.5%).

Commonwealth Bank does allow you to request a real-time FX rate request, prior to scheduling an international wire. So you can check the rate and compare to the best rates from our BER partner brokers to check for a better deal.

Forecasts for AUD to WST

 

The recent exchange rate forecasts for the Australian Dollar (AUD) to Wallis and Futuna Islands Franc (WST) indicate a challenging period ahead for the AUD. The AUD struggled in February due to changing global rate expectations, falling commodity prices, and a generally uncertain economic outlook. Factors such as softer-than-expected inflation data, lackluster GDP reports, and market speculation around possible rate cuts have contributed to the downward pressure on the Aussie dollar. Moving forward, the AUD is likely to face continued pressure and may fluctuate within a range of 0.64 to 0.66 against the WST until there is greater clarity on US rate cuts and global economic conditions.

How to get a good AUD to WST exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Australian dollar to Samoan tala:

  1. Shop around for the best AUD/WST exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the AUD/WST rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both AUD and WST at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Samoan tala with Australian dollar, then it's better for the AUD/WST exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Will the Australian dollar rise against the Samoan tala?

It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.

To help with this you can add AUD/WST to your personalised Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
