ASB reduces International Money Transfer fee to Fiji in the wake of Cyclone Winston
ASB will reduce the International Money Transfer fee to $5 when sending Fijian dollars to Fijian bank accounts either
in-branch or via ASB’s FastNet Classic, from Friday 11 March to Friday 6 May, 2016.
The $5 fee from each international transfer incurred by the bank will be tallied at the end of the two-month appeal and
donated to Red Cross Fiji.
This Red Cross donation will ensure all funds transferred will go to help in the clean-up and recovery for Cyclone
Winston victims. Administration fees will be covered by Red Cross.
ASB General Manager Global Markets Adam Boyd is delighted ASB can help out in a small way with recovery efforts in Fiji.
“With an extensive Fijian population, the recent Cyclone Winston has hit close to home for a number of New Zealanders.
As recovery efforts get underway, ASB is pleased to help Kiwis help our Pacific neighbours,” Mr Boyd says.
