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.
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.

For more competitive rates, you might consider using a specialized currency exchange service or platforms that offer rates closer to the mid-market rate.
