If you need to send money overseas, Qudos Bank can arrange a foreign currency International Bank Draft to be posted to a nominated address¹.

How do they work?
A draft is like a bank cheque made out in a foreign currency. It’s another way for you to make payments and settle a transaction overseas if you don't have the electronic bank account details. Drafts can be sent overseas via the mail and are available in a wide range of currencies.

Benefits of Drafts:

• Access to over 25 currencies
• They can be enclosed with letters or invoices and forwarded direct to the payee
• A draft can be an economical method of transferring funds to a specific company or person overseas
• A draft provides security of payment as it is a non-negotiable instrument and can only be credited to the payee’s bank account, unless the payee has endorsed the draft

What details do I need to supply?
For us to arrange the draft you will need to provide us the details of the person you're sending the money to (beneficiary).

• Person's full name
• Person's full street address
• Any special instructions for the transfer
• Currency and amount

How to apply for a draft?

• Send us a secure email from within online banking
• Fill in the application form and drop it into your nearest Qudos Bank branch
• Fax us the transfer details to: (08) 9477 4739
