CommBank AUD transfer fees and exchange rates
CommBank waives the transfer fee for eligible digital international transfers when AUD is converted to a foreign currency. A digital AUD-to-AUD international transfer costs A$30, while a branch or manual payment instruction also costs A$30.
CommBank says its advertised Retail Exchange Rate includes a margin. A fee-waived transfer can therefore still have a meaningful conversion cost, particularly for a larger amount.
For eligible cross-currency payments, CommBank absorbs correspondent-bank fees. The recipient's bank may still deduct its own charge.
