USD account

[dotworx]

Hi guys,

I got some USD checks here which I don't want to put into my AUD transaction account just yet, because the AUD is so strong these days!

Do you guys know where I can open a USD account for a business, preferably a transaction account, so I can use it to send/receive international wire transfers.

Thanks in advance!

cheers
Jeph

Hi Jeph,

I think most major local banks give you the ability to open a Forex Account. I know CBA does: http://www.commbank.com.au/personal/international/foreign-currency-account/default.aspx

Hope that helps.

thanks ned. all USD accounts i could find were for personal use...i haven't found any one i can use with a business (Pty Ltd)... i think the CBA one you mentioned is also for personal...

Hi Jeph,

Sorry mate - gave you the wrong link. They definitely have a business forex account too: http://www.commbank.com.au/business/international/international-payments/foreign-currency-accounts/

And I just had a quick look at NAB as well:
