How do I transfer funds to USD so I can trade?

To transfer funds to USD, first create your International Trading Account and make sure you have sufficient Australian dollars in your Bell Financial Trust account. 

When your account is created, follow these 5 steps:

  • Step 1: Make sure you have at least the equivalent of $300USD (that is the minimum amount)
  • Step 2: Go to the Funds Transfer screen. There are links to the Funds transfer screen in a number of places on the website, just look for the Transfer Currency link, or choose Funds transfer from the 'My Account' menu.
  • Step 3: Select the International Transfer tab. On the right hand side of the screen you can see your AUD Available transfer funds and your USD available funds to trade and withdraw.
  • Step 4: Make sure the send box contains the Australian flag and AUD, and the receive box the US flag and USD. Enter the amount you would like to send or receive, hit the tab key, and the system will calculate the other currency based on the FX rate on the screen. Then click 'next'.
  • Step 5: Enter your PIN and then confirm.

You're ready. You will be able to trade immediately on the USD that you transferred.
