About International Payment Templates (Asia & Pacific)

What is an International Payment Template?

An international payment template allows you to setup frequently used payment instructions to transfer funds from a single funding account to one or more nominated beneficiary accounts worldwide using an ANZ-supported and tradeable currency. International payments, also known as cross-border payments or telegraphic transfers, often involve two currencies where a foreign currency exchange rate is required.
Once successfully created, you can use the preconfigured template to create your payment instructions.
For more information, please refer to Asia & Pacific Payment Types.

Payment Template Rules for International Payments

  • Fixed Payment Templates: Fields added in the template cannot be edited when this template is used to create a payment. To edit the Amount, Details of Payment and Invoice Details fields in the payment created from the template, please select Allow Modification in the Beneficiary Details screen.
  • Payment instructions within a template are not considered mandatory, as additional information can be added at time of payment, including payment amount, FX rates, additional information, etc.
  • Confidential indicator will be enabled for selection for users with Confidential Payments entitlements.
  • Individual Debits indicator will be enabled for selection when two or more beneficiaries have been added to the payment template.
  • Foreign Currency: FX Carded rate will be subject to change on the value date of the payment. FX Contract rate will require a valid contract obtained from your local ANZ Markets dealer at time of payment.
