Chase offers the convenience of sending secure international wire transfers online or at a local bank branch (available in the US only) — but watch out for member requirements and high fees.
How do I send money overseas with Chase?
Chase Bank does not operate in Canada. To send an international wire transfer with Chase, you first need to open a US chequing account. Once you’ve set up your account, take these steps to transfer money online:

Chase bank wire fees

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 money transfer competitors. Because of this the bottom option, International wire transfer (in foreign currency), may seem far cheaper than the other options until you take into account the exchange rate attached to it.
How are Chase’s exchange rates?
Like any large bank, Chase updates its rates regularly in line with global currency market fluctuations. Its exchange rates are similar to those offered by other large US banks but not as attractive as the rates you’ll get by using an independent money transfer specialist.
MUST READ: Who charges less?
Independent transfer services usually win out over banks when it comes to fees. There are several providers who will send a transfer for free with competitive exchange rates.
Wise is a peer-to-peer transfer service that uses the mid-market rate — the rate banks and transfer services use when they trade among themselves — so you can be certain you’re getting the best exchange rate on your transfer.
