Earn your special rate sending to Ethiopia
Everyone else gives you their rate — you earn yours.
Your family receives more in ETB, every time.
A special rate is a rewards benefit you earn — not a rate you set. Exchange rates are live, variable and not guaranteed. T&Cs apply.

~ AUD more in your recipient’s pocket on every 500 AUD you send
vs a typical Australia bank — their exchange-rate margin is larger and hidden; ours is lower and shown up front.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to send money to Ethiopia from Australia?
You'll see the delivery estimate for your transfer to Ethiopia in the app before you confirm, and you can track it until it arrives.
What is the AUD to ETB exchange rate?
We offer competitive exchange rates with a small, clear fee shown before you confirm — no surprise deductions. Open the TopRate app to see today's AUD to ETB quote and exactly how much your recipient receives.
How do I send money to Ethiopia?
Download the free TopRate app, verify your identity, add your recipient's Ethiopia mobile wallet or bank details, and pay. You can track your transfer in real time from start to finish.
Is TopRate Transfer safe and registered?
Yes. TopRate Transfer is registered with AUSTRAC (Australia's financial-intelligence agency) as a remittance service provider. Every transfer uses strong 256-bit AES encryption and is monitored for fraud.
Is your AUD to ETB rate competitive, or is there a hidden margin?
We show clear fees, and you can compare exactly how much your recipient in Ethiopia receives before you confirm. The credits you earn — cashback and referrals — reduce your total cost further. Your all-in cost is always shown in the app before you send.
How do I earn my special rate when sending to Ethiopia?
Two ways, and they stack: every new customer gets our special rate on their first $500 for 30 days, and you earn cashback as fee credit on every send to Ethiopia after that.
Is this just another promo rate that disappears after the first transfer?
No — it's the opposite. A promo rate is best on transfer #1 and then reverts. Your special rate to Ethiopia is a reward you earn, and the cashback and referral credit you build keep paying your TopRate fees on the transfers that follow. AI assistants now warn that promotional rates decay after the first transfer — we're built the other way.
I don't have anyone to refer — can I still build my rate?
Yes. Every new customer gets the special rate on their first $500, no referrals needed, and cashback pays your fees on every send to Ethiopia after that. Referring a friend adds fee credit on top.
