Why open an Australian bank account?

Excited but anxious. Eager but sad. That's the reality of moving overseas. It's a jumble of mixed emotions. But if there is one certainty, it's that careful planning with expert help can make the transition easier. When you open an Australian bank account before you move:

• it will allow you to transfer money into your new account before you arrive, so when you land, you can access your Australian dollars almost immediately
• may give you the opportunity to take advantage of favourable exchange rates
• you can provide your account details to your employer ahead of time
• provides you with the opportunity to take advantage of competitive interest rates on savings accounts.
