How to correctly fill out a transfer form

When sending money to a Bank of China account in Australia, professional accuracy ensures your funds arrive safely. There are distinct protocols for local AUD transfers compared to cross-border remittances involving global currencies.

Examples of filling out a transfer:

Local AU Transfer: Recipient: Xing Wong; BSB: 980-000 (public bank identifier); Account number: **4321 (example); Note: Ensure the name matches the account holder exactly.

Cross-Border Remittance: Recipient: Li Na; SWIFT: BKCHAU2A (public bank identifier); Account number: 87654321 (example); Currency: CNY/AUD; Purpose: Family Support.

Tips for filling out the form

• For transfers to China, clarify if the recipient account can accept AUD or needs conversion. • Copy the SWIFT code directly from official Bank of China documentation. • Be aware of international transaction fees deducted from the sent amount. • Keep a digital receipt until the recipient confirms arrival.
