Send money from Australia to Korea
Deposit AUD from any Australian bank, convert at Naver mid-market rate −8 KRW, and withdraw KRW to a Korean bank account — a clear, low-cost alternative to Wise-style transfers for Australia–Korea.
Naver rate −8 KRW · No hidden transfer fees
Transparent Naver-linked rate
For 8 years we have applied Naver mid-market −8 KRW for AUD→KRW. No buried FX markup on top of a “$0 fee” claim.
Typically ~0.8% effective cost
Cheaper than most Australian bank international transfers (~5%) and many informal reverse-remittance desks (~1–3%). On $1,000 the difference is easy to see.
AUSTRAC registered
Registered with AUSTRAC (Reg No. 100614410). Transfers are recorded and handled under Australian AML/CTF obligations.
Convert now, withdraw later
Lock in a rate when it looks good, keep a KRW balance, and withdraw in portions when you need funds in Korea.

Best way to send money from Australia to Korea?
If you search for the cheapest AUD to KRW money transfer, you will see Wise, Remitly, Western Union, and Australian bank FX. Those products are fine for many corridors — but for Australia–Korea specifically, DonDirect is built around the Naver rate Koreans already check every day.
You deposit Australian dollars, exchange at Naver mid-market −8 KRW, then withdraw won to Korea. That makes it easy to compare “what you should get” vs “what you actually receive”.
How this compares to Australian bank transfers
CommBank, NAB, Westpac and others usually charge a fixed send fee plus a weak FX rate. The won that lands in Korea can be 5%+ below Naver.
DonDirect does not charge a separate deposit fee. The cost is the −8 KRW spread against Naver — typically around 0.8% on AUD→KRW.
- Australian bank international transfer: fee + poor rate → often ~5% effective cost
- DonDirect: Naver −8 KRW, no deposit fee → about 0.8% effective cost
- Processing: after AUD clears, exchange and withdraw (often same day or next day)
Limits
Australia → Korea: typically from AUD $100 up to AUD $5,000 per transfer. Limits can change with liquidity — always check the live caps on the site.
