ANZ reduces money transfer fees to Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga

ANZ today announced it was reducing International Money Transfer fees from New Zealand to Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga.

The fee for an International Money transfer to the three Pacific countries is now just $7 for payments initiated by Internet Banking. Payments will not be subject to deductions of intermediary or inward fees by ANZ.

Payments initiated through an ANZ branch or by phone will still incur the usual fee of $28*

“Many families and businesses in Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga rely on money sent from friends and relatives living and working in New Zealand,” said John Body, Managing Director Retail & Business Banking & Wealth at ANZ.

“ANZ’s new flat $7 fee supports the remittance payments that are so important to the people and the economies of Samoa, Vanuatu and Tonga.”
