Chase Bank serves nearly half of US households with a broad range of financial products. Its wire transfer service allows you to send money abroad in over 40 currencies to more than 90 countries worldwide. You can choose between sending secure international money transfers online or at one of its 4,700 branch locations nationwide. Just be aware of member requirements, weak exchange rates and comparatively high transfer fees.
The Chase wire transfer fee you’ll pay depends on how you’re sending the transfer and whether you’re sending or receiving an international or domestic wire transfer. All transfers between Chase accounts are fee-free.
Chase offers lower fees when transferring using its foreign currency exchange option, but keep in mind that the exchange rate offered by Chase may be far weaker than other money transfer providers.
| Outgoing (from online) | Outgoing (from a Chase branch) | Incoming | Between Chase accounts | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chase domestic wire transfer | $25 | $35 | $15 | $0 |
| Chase international wire transfer | $40 | $50 | $15 | $0 |
| Chase international wire transfer (in foreign currency) | $5 ($0 for transfers of $5,000 or more) | $50 | $15 | $0 |
Like any large bank, Chase updates its rates in line with global currency market fluctuations. The Chase currency exchange rates you’ll be offered are similar to those of other large US banks but not as competitive as the rates you’ll get from a money transfer specialist.
It’s worth keeping in mind that Chase Bank’s wire transfer service adds a 4-7% margin on top of the mid-market exchange rate for international transfers. Therefore, it is best to compare the displayed rate on Chase with the current interbank rate to work out the size of this margin.
Chase Bank allows you to send money in more than 40 currencies to over 90 countries worldwide, including:
You have two options for transferring money with Chase:
You can send your international wire transfer on the same day or initiate a transfer for a future date online or at a Chase bank branch. If you submit your transfer by 4 p.m. ET, it will be processed the same business day.
Through Chase’s online banking service, you can send repeat wire transfers to the same recipient and delegate others to request and approve wire transfers.
Chase only allows payment via bank transfer. You also need a checking account with Chase Bank to use its international money transfer service.
Domestic wire transfers usually take 1-2 working days for the funds to be received, while international wire transfers can take anywhere from 3-5 business days. It’s also important to note that Chase’s total wire transfer limit is $250,000 per business day, and the wire cut-off time is 4 p.m. ET. If you submit your request after this cut-off, it will be processed the next business day.

A friend wants to loan me $100.000 and transferred the money from his Chase account into my Chase checking account within the US. It’s the third day now and the money hasn’t arrived. Chase says that because of the large amount the transaction is ‘on hold’ and can’t say when they’ll do the transaction. What’s the reason behind this?
Hello Karin,
Thank you for your comment.
Transferring a large amount of money generally takes days for it to be done. Chase do this in order to ensure that there isn’t fraud happening when the transfer is made. If you want to check the status of the transfer, you may contact the bank directly.

Someone transferred me money through express wire from Chase to Indian bank. It’s been 3 days but the money was not transferred yet. What to do next?
Hi Sandeep,
Chase international wire transfers are typically available to the recipient within 3-5 business days after being sent. However, the receiving bank (Indian bank) may have its own review process which could delay delivery.
You can contact your sender to let him know that you still haven’t received the money in your Indian bank account so he can make a follow up on the transfer status with Chase.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
