A young woman has been arrested at Sydney Airport on fraud charges, four years after $4.6 million was wrongly transferred to her account.

The 21-year-old Rhodes woman was stopped from boarding a flight to Malaysia on Wednesday night and charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime.

Police allege $4.6 million was transferred to her account in 2012 and she got an illegal financial advantage from the transfer.

The woman was refused bail and will appear in Waverley Local Court on Thursday.
