Sending money across borders is an essential part of many people’s lives. For those looking to transfer money from Australia to Indonesia, OrbitRemit offers a convenient, secure and affordable solution. Let’s walk through 5 steps to safely transfer money from AUD to IDR using OrbitRemit.
- Sign up to OrbitRemit
If you don’t already have an OrbitRemit account, download the OrbitRemit app and use your email address to sign up. You can also create an account on our website. You will be asked to provide some personal information including your name, contact details and some identification documents for security purposes.
Make sure you choose a strong password with 8 characters. We recommend using an array of numbers, letters and characters.
- Use the currency converter
Use the currency converter to select how many Australian dollars you want to send or how much Indonesian Rupiah you want your recipient to receive. The converter will show you both of these amounts using the live exchange rate. The send and receive currencies will save to your history, so you won’t have to change them every time you create a transfer.
- Add a recipient
Either select your recipient or enter their details to set up a new one in our system. You will need some information including their full name and a few other details depending on the account type. Once a recipient is set up, you can simply select their name for future transfers.
- Fund your transfer
After reviewing and confirming the transfer, you can choose how to pay for it. Selecting bank transfer will bring up the OrbitRemit bank account details and the reference number you’ll need when making payment. Navigate to your internet or mobile banking app and use these details to make a payment to OrbitRemit.
Please make sure to pay the exact amount noted on the screen and in your ‘Transfer Confirmation’. The bank account you transfer from must also match the name registered on your OrbitRemit account. Ensuring these things are correct will help your transfer to be processed as fast as possible.
- Monitor transfer progress
With OrbitRemit, you can check the status of your transfer at any time. Simply log in and select ‘Transfers’. Here you’ll be able to watch your money progress all the way from payment to completion. When your money is first received by OrbitRemit, we will update the status of your transfer and send you an email to acknowledge receipt of your funds.
