Content: Things to know: You must have cleared money for the amount to be sent
We charge fees for international payments whether staff assisted or initiated through online banking. Please see the fees page for international payments
There may be additional other bank charges deducted by the overseas intermediary and beneficiary banks. These charges will be deducted from the International Payment and therefore will decrease the amount received by the payee
Payments in NZD (New Zealand Dollars) are not accepted by all banks. International payments made online can be sent for an equivalent amount of NZD once you have selected the foreign currency. If your payment needs to be sent in NZD and this is not available in the picklist, please visit your nearest Westpac branch
We will need to hold a copy of your identification document with your current and correct full name or organisation name. Please refer to our list of acceptable verification documentation available here

From time to time we may need to contact you to verify your identification documents held on file. Read more information on verifying ID as follows: Verifying your ID for telegraphic transfers
If you regularly send telegraphic transfers, we're required by law to verify your identity from time to time or, in the case of some organisations, to sight/verify current company/trust/partnership records.
