Ways to receive money in Tonga from Australia
Bank deposit
Money is paid into the recipient's bank account in Tonga. You will need their full name as held by the bank, the bank name, the account number, and the bank's SWIFT/BIC code. Tongan accounts do not use IBAN, so the account number plus the SWIFT/BIC identify the receiving bank and branch.
Mobile wallet
If mobile wallet payout is available for your recipient, funds are sent to the wallet linked to their mobile number. You will need the recipient's registered name and the correct mobile number. The wallet options available for Tonga are shown in the app when you choose the payout method.
Cash pickup
The recipient collects cash at a participating payout location. They need to bring valid photo ID that matches the full legal name on the transfer, along with the reference number you share with them. Enter the name exactly as it appears on their ID to avoid problems at collection.
