What details do I need to receive money from overseas?
Whether you’re moving to New Zealand or receiving money from overseas, you’ll need to provide specific details to ensure the payment is processed correctly into your ASB account.
Some banks or countries may require different reference fields (such as an IBAN or routing number). Please refer to the guidance below or check with the sending bank if needed.
Required details
Your account name (beneficiary name)
This must match the name on your ASB account.
Your physical address
Provide your full physical address, including town/city, postcode, and country.
PO Boxes or other non-physical addresses are not accepted.
Your full ASB account number
- NZD transaction or savings account example: 12‑3nnn‑0nnnnnn‑nn
- Foreign Currency Account (FCA) example: nnnnnnnn‑[CCY]‑nn
ASB’s SWIFT / BIC code
ASBBNZ2A
Receiving bank name and address
ASB Bank Limited

Additional information you may need to supply
IBAN
ASB does not use IBANs. Please provide your full ASB account number instead.
BSB / Sort Code (for NZD accounts)
Use the first six digits of your account number (e.g. 12‑3nnn).
Foreign Currency Accounts
Your SWIFT/BIC code and FCA number are usually sufficient.
Before sending the payment
Please review all details carefully before submitting. We are unable to verify that the account name matches the account number during processing, and incorrect information may result in delays or returned payments.
For information on fees that may apply to international money transfers, please refer to the ASB guide to fees.
