What this can mean for an Australian business

  • AUD→USD: 0.7152 → 0.7125 (-0.38%). Converting A$10,000.00 would have changed from US$7,152.18 to US$7,125.00, a difference of -US$27.18. This was less favourable for Australian businesses paying or sending USD; the effect is reversed for a business converting fixed USD receipts back to AUD.
  • USD→KRW: 1,344.64 → 1,384.58 (+2.97%). Converting US$10,000.00 would have changed from ₩13,446,441 to ₩13,845,800, a difference of +₩399,359. This was more favourable for businesses converting USD to KRW for Korean payments; the effect is reversed for a business converting fixed KRW receipts back to USD.
  • AUD→KRW: 961.47 → 986.28 (+2.58%). Converting A$10,000.00 would have changed from ₩9,614,740 to ₩9,862,800, a difference of +₩248,060. This was more favourable for Australian businesses paying Korean suppliers in KRW; the effect is reversed for a business converting fixed KRW receipts back to AUD.

The displayed values are observed mid-market data. The applied remittance rate, fees and recipient amount can differ by service and transaction terms.

General matters to check

  • Whether the invoice is denominated in AUD, KRW or USD
  • The settlement date and AUD cash outflow translated at the current observation
  • The final recipient amount including fees, not only the headline rate
