The Risk
The Risk of Not Having an Australian Dollar Business Account
Operating in AUD without a dedicated account exposes your business to unnecessary costs, friction, and credibility gaps with Australian partners.
FX erosion:
Repeated, unplanned conversions compress margins.
Payment delays:
SWIFT-only routes add intermediaries, days, and fees.
Counterparty friction:
Local partners prefer AUD transfers to domestic accounts.
Compliance hurdles:
Paying taxes and payroll without an AUD account can be challenging.
