Telex Fee IDR 50,000 (equivalent)

  2. Customers can receive incoming transfers from all banks worldwide. Ensure that the Sender submits a correct and complete Customer’s name and account number.
  3. If the destination account is a foreign currency account number, the money will go into the Foreign Currency Balance owned by the Customer. If the destination account is the Customer’s main account number, the money will be converted to Rupiah and go to the Rupiah Active Balance.
  4. If there is a difference in currency between the Sender’s and the Customer’s accounts, Jenius will convert it to the currency owned by the Customer. Example: Sender sends JPY to a USD Jenius account, then Jenius will convert the money to JPY.
  5. Money received by the Customers follows the Bank’s exchange rate at the time the money is received. The Bank only does foreign currency conversion once (1).
