Rach LeeLee & Arnie Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Me, my husband and little dog move to Perth in August! Just wondered if anyone had any tips or recommendations? Does anyone know how, where and who to set up Australian bank accounts with in the UK before we leave? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsquare Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 We plan to move in September. I've just opened an account with NAB. Not sure if they're the best but I went with them because they advertise their migration services on here and a bit lazy. Applied on Tuesday night and got an e-mail with the account number on Thursday morning! Very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rach LeeLee & Arnie Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 That's brilliant thank you! Are you able to transfer money into it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsquare Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 You can transfer money in as soon as the account is open. Can only transfer out after you've been into a branch and shown your passports and picked up your cards. Have a look at the finance section. There's a video that explains what they do.
