UPDATE 20/01: £50 cashback deal has ended, and new deal is now £19.50 (~$37 AUD) cashback from TopCashback UK for a new customer registering and sending their first money transfer of £50+ through WorldRemit.

Cashbacks:
TopCashback UK new account referral = $9.50 (£5)
WorldRemit TopCashback UK link = $95 (£50)
WorldRemit referral bonus = $35

Steps:
1. Sign-up to TopCashback UK using one of the OzBargain referral links for new account.
2. Use an OzBargain referral link to get a referral code for WorldRemit (copy from the URL after code=)
3. Setup a virtual UK bank account in your name with TransferWise. Use an OzBargain referral link to sign up for a fee-free transfer of up to £500.
- This is also required for withdrawing cashback from TopCashback UK (British bank account required for withdrawal).
4. On TopCashback UK, search for WorldRemit and clickthrough link to get cashback. Enter the referral code when signing up.
5. Send £300 (approx $570 or equivalent) through WorldRemit to your virtual UK bank account. I selected Cashplus for the bank and can confirm it works. Entered random numbers for the mobile number - isn't required for any verification.
6. Transfer funds back to your regular AUD bank account from TransferWise.

    whats the total fees lost on this?

    • scons on 16/01/2020 - 01:01
      +6

      Good point. Was $3.99 fee to send on WorldRemit (it gives you a code '3FREE' to waive this fee, though not sure if that voids the cashback so I didn't use it). And a $3.16 fee sending from Transferwise to AUD bank account (it wasn't my first transfer so didn't get the referral sign up offer). About $9 lost from exchange rates. TLDR: Spent $583.99, and received $567.90 back.

      • Stato on 16/01/2020 - 01:48

        How did you get past which bank to use in the list in World Remit, it doesn't list Transferwise as an option.
        Also it requires a UK mobile number how did you get around that?
        Cheers

            It took around 25 minutes to process, was getting a little worried lol.
            Have now converted it back to AUD and now its back in my Transferwise AUD account.

                    @broseph21: it has now shown as 0 GBP with the amount i transferred underneath and it says pending.

                    @broseph21: Maybe re-check that you used the correct Transferwise GBP account details.

                    • broseph21 on 16/01/2020 - 04:06

                      @Stato: Just checked. Tt was correct and I elected Cashplus as the bank name. In my transferwise account is shows the money pending but it still says 0 GBP. Hope it comes soon

        Of course you don't need to pay the $3.16 transferwise fee to transfer out to your AUD bank account if you're happy to spend the money using your transferwise borderless debit card.

  • igordennis on 16/01/2020 - 01:32

    Very cool post and informative OP, thank you. I am in the process of verifying the TransferWise account to be able to do the transfer to virtual UK bank but so far so good i think.

    I can confirm this works - just received WorldRemit funds in TransferWise. The transfer took 20 minutes. Thanks scons.

  • MatrixM on 16/01/2020 - 02:18

    I guess this can't be combined with quidpro Cashback but I can just do it twice, first with topcashback uk then second with quidpro then transfer back to Australia, yeah?

    • scons on 16/01/2020 - 10:07

      If you make a new WorldRemit account I believe it should work?

      • MatrixM on 17/01/2020 - 01:09

        After going through with it once, I don't think it's an option either way as both are first time offers and they have my id/credit check etc.

  • BarginGrabber on 16/01/2020 - 02:35

    3 On TopCashback UK, search for WorldRemit and clickthrough link to get cashback. Enter the referral code when signing up.

    It asks me to put my card details before I can click through for cashback, what do I do there?

    • Stato on 16/01/2020 - 02:38
      +1

      There should be an option for BACS click on that and add your UK Transferwise bank details.

        Oh ok, the steps confused me a bit so I did them completely wrong.

  • broseph21 on 16/01/2020 - 03:03

    So i have done all these steps. how long will it take to get the $138.50

  • MatrixM on 16/01/2020 - 03:14

    Sorry, how do I make sure transferwise is UK?

    EDIT: nvm guess just setting the currency to gbp

    • broseph21 on 16/01/2020 - 03:23

      did you make a uk bank account on there

      • MatrixM on 16/01/2020 - 03:36

        I just chose currency as GBP and it gave uk info.
        Now I'm wondering, where on the WorldRemit site do i put the referral code? Because it wasn't on the sign up form and now i've made an account…

        EDIT: shit I missed it. I'll try setting another account I guess..

  • Yowie on 16/01/2020 - 08:46

    Just wondering whether this will work using a Citibank Global Currency account instead of TransferWise? Has anyone tried transferring money into your British Pounds account which is also a virtual account I believe?

    • ballistykx on 16/01/2020 - 12:42

      I wasn’t able to add an Australian account when transferring in GBP, so no.

    • h4lcyon on 16/01/2020 - 12:44

      The global currency account doesn't give you a GBP bank account, just lets you send GBP to an AUD bank account.

  • roshanrbb on 16/01/2020 - 08:49

    How do we know the cashback transactions has been tracked in topcashback? When I click on the worldremit link from topcashback, it shows the transfer money page instead of signup page ?

    This may sound dumb - but how do you access the WorldRemit referral?

  • bohn on 16/01/2020 - 10:29

    Any idea how long it takes for the Referrer to receive their credit @ topcashback and worldremit ?

  • djsydney on 16/01/2020 - 10:36

    What if I already have a transferwise account setup here in Aus? Can that work? or will have to create new one?

    • raiseyoursteaks on 16/01/2020 - 10:43

      the cashback has nothing to do with a new transferwise account. you just need the existing account to have a virtual GBP account

      • djsydney on 16/01/2020 - 10:44

        Thanks. Not for the cashback but my current transferwise account does not show any GBP details. So i would think we need to create a new account?

  • Pricebeat on 16/01/2020 - 10:46
    +1

    so when I transfer from World2remit to Transferwise, should I be transferring from AUD to GBP or GBP to GBP?

    • Stato on 16/01/2020 - 10:57

      If you want your money to go back into your Transferwise AUD account, go into your GBP account and convert GBP to AUD that puts it into your AUD balance.

      • Pricebeat on 16/01/2020 - 11:38

        Thanks for the reply, but I meant when I transfer from World2remit to Transferwise. However I have done it and transferred my money out. The other thing is Topcashback only tracked £15?

        Nevermind just read the following

        The cashback amount will initially track at a lower rate, however if you meet the threshold the amount will be increased.

        • xrailgun on 16/01/2020 - 13:55

          How long did it take to track for you? Mine still only has WorldRemit in "My Top Merchants" instead of "Recent Transactions". Did mine not track?

  • starbearer on 16/01/2020 - 11:56

    Will this work if I want to do AUD to another country's bank account?

    • ballistykx on 16/01/2020 - 12:45
      +1

      I believe it has to be a UK account as it only let's me add one (not an international account) when I want to transfer in GBP.

    +1

    Thanks to the OP for going to the effort to come up with this - it's a bit convoluted but hopefully I have done it right! I did POLI transfer so will see what ends up in my transferwise bank account in several hours - assuming that if it's successful I should see the cashback etc added on to the amount that ends up in my transferwise account?

    Currently topcashback has tracked it as a 20 pound cashback, hopefully it amends.

    • Turffe on 16/01/2020 - 16:59

      The Topcashback page says all transfers will initially track at £15 (the other £5 in your account is the signup bonus) and any accounts that made a £300 transfer will be updated to the £50 cashback "within 10 working days".

      • dinglejerry on 16/01/2020 - 17:01

        Yes I saw that, but I'm a bit confused. How actually do I get that £50 cashback into my aussie bank account? I'm probably missing something really obvious, sorry. Or is it that I just have that credit in my TopCashback account for future use against other purchases?

        • Turffe on 16/01/2020 - 17:11
          +1

          You can add your UK bank account details from Transferwise as the payout account in Topcashback. I know they have Paypal as well but I'm unsure if they'd send to an Aussie Paypal account, so I'm using BACS as the safe option.

          • dinglejerry on 16/01/2020 - 17:12

            @Turffe: Ah yeah right, that makes sense, I did add my transferwise a/c details in setting up the topcashback a/c. Does it automatically pay back to that account? I feel like I might have done something wrong though, the money I transferred from my Aus Bank account is now in Transferwise - ie 300 pounds, but I don't see any additional amounts from worldremit ($35) even though I entered in the referral code.

            • MatrixM on 16/01/2020 - 18:34

              @dinglejerry: From my understanding the 35 from world remit is on your SECOND transaction with them Someone with more experience confirm?

                  @bohn: Oh right. Well I guess I'm not sure how much I'll get back now lol - but it will probably not be the full $138 :)

    Hi Fexofenadine,

    We're sorry to inform you that we've made the decision to cancel your transaction and close your account.

    This means that we've cancelled your payment. In the majority of cases, it should appear in your account within 2-3 working days but it can take 7-21 days depending on your bank/card issuer.

    There are a number of reasons we may need to close a customer’s account: we may have concerns over security or feel that there's been a breach of our terms and conditions. Sometimes, a customer simply has more than one account to their name.

    We’re not legally able to tell you the exact reason for each closure, but we always aim to stay balanced, fair and safe when reviewing our transactions – so if you think we've made the wrong decision, we'd love for you to get in touch.

    Please visit our help pages for more information.

    Best Regards,
    WorldRemit Customer Service
