Payment Methods and Fees

Currently we have four payment methods. Please be aware that there are processing fees which vary for each payment method.

The processing fees vary with the size of the payment

PayPal

PayPal is the most flexible method for those who are overseas or who do not have credit cards but has the highest fees (aprox 3.6%). You can sign up for a new PayPal account here

The PayPal processing fee ranges from $21 for the $570 RPL to $31 for the $840 RPL.

Stripe Online Payments

Stripe accepts debit and credit cards from Visa, Mastercard and American Express from all around the world. Their processing charges are slightly lower than PayPal (3.5% for international cards as of Oct 16 2023)

The Stripe payments fee ranges from $20 for the $570 RPL to $29 for the $840 RPL

Stripe payments is an alternative secure on-line payment gateway which we are recommending for international cards. It accepts both local and international Mastercard, Visa and American Express credit cards and debit cards. We do not store any credit card information on this website.

Direct Bank Transfer (Australian Banks only)

We do not charge a processing fee for direct bank transfers and there are usually no bank fees when using internet banking for bank to bank transfer within Australia.Check about bank fees with your bank first!

For overseas applicants we now recommend Wise (formerly TransferWise) for direct transfers. They have a fair exchange rate with no hidden fees and you can see the small transfer fee up front.

You can send money to and from these currencies (we only accept payments in $AUD)

We do not charge a processing fee but you will pay a small up front fee to Wise.

You can calculate the transfer price at this link https://wise.com/au/pricing/send-money. Just change the send currency to yours and change the recipient amount to the payment in $AUD. To find out more go to this link https://wise.com/au
