Making International Money Transfers Easier for Migrants

Moving to a new country is an exciting milestone, but managing money across borders is often one of the most complicated parts of the journey. Migrants frequently face high bank fees, unclear exchange rates, and slow international transfers that make the process more stressful than it should be.

To help solve this, Settledin has partnered with Wise to make international money transfers simpler, faster, and more transparent for migrants and international students.

The Challenge of Sending Money Internationally

For migrants relocating to Australia or already settling in, international transfers are often unavoidable. You may need to:

• Transfer savings to Australia before or after arrival
• Pay visa application and migration related fees
• Cover rental bonds and housing deposits
• Support family members back home
• Manage tuition fees and living expenses as an international student

Unfortunately, traditional banks and some money transfer services often include hidden costs that reduce the amount received on the other end.
