Moving july...

I will be still getting paid into my UK bank account whilst I am in Australia..

How can I access that money

If ...should I open a specific account now?

Hi

You will need to transfer your money from sterling to dollars. You could either do this through your bank or through a currency specialist. There are several ways in which you can still have access to and control of these funds whilst they are still in the UK - online banking for example.

However, it is best to speak with your bank yourself to find out exactly. I know from the experience of a few people, who we have assisted, that their UK bank have said that instruction needs to be given to them in writing.

You can set up a bank account with most, if not all, of the major four banks in Australia prior to departure so that you are set up to receive any transferred funds.

If I can be of any help on the foreign exchange side then just let me know. If your requirement were for a fixed monthly amount, our Regular Payment Plan, set up by direct debit might be perfect for you.

Thanks
