Chase Bank wire transfer review
A quick, easy way to send money around the world.
Last updated:
Chase offers the convenience of sending secure international wire transfers online or at your local bank branch — but watch out for member requirements and high fees.
How much will I pay to transfer money with Chase?
Chase Bank’s transfer fees depend on whether you’re sending or receiving an international wire transfer:
- To send an international wire transfer at a branch, you’ll pay $45.
- To send an international wire transfer online, you’ll pay $40.
- To receive an international wire transfer to your account, you’ll pay $15.
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.
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, including OFX, XE and TransferWise.- TransferWise 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 rate on your transfer.
Available currencies and countries
Send money in more than 35 currencies worldwide.
As a general rule, you will not be able to transfer money to the following countries due to US sanctions:
- Afghanistan
- Belarus
- Iran
- Iraq
- Lebanon
- Liberia
- Libya
- Myanmar
- Sierra Leone
- Syria

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.

Please answer the question about the minimum transfer amount from a Chase bank to a Russian bank Sberbank! They send me a letter stating that they cannot send the sum of $ 1100, but $ 1800 is already possible. Is this true and what are these new requirements for sending funds?
Hi Egor,
Thanks for your question.
There is no minimum transfer limit for Chase Bank but it has a daily limit on of $100,000 on wire transfers.
I’m not sure why you are unable to send the full $1,100 to your recipient. You may have to contact Chase at 800-935-9935 to check why.
The requirements for sending money to Russia from a Chase bank account include the receiver’s bank account information, international bank account number (IBAN) and international bank identifier code (BIC), or the receiving country equivalent.
There are other ways to send money to Russia, you may visit our comprehensive guide on this page to check your alternative options.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

how can i deposit money from Bangladesh to my chase checking account in USA?
Hi Zaman,
Thanks for reaching out to finder.
You can deposit the money by doing a bank to bank transfer or by using a money transfer company.
If you want to send money from your Bangladesh bank account to your US Chase bank account, you can log in to your Bangladesh online baking account and transfer the money. If your bank in Bangladesh does not have online banking service, you can visit your bank’s nearest branch to do the deposit/transfer in person.
If bank to bank transfer is not an option for you, you can use money transfer companies to deposit the money to your Chase bank account. Make sure you have your Chase IBAN number as well as that may be required. On this page, you can see options for money transfer companies that you can consider. You can send the money online or by visiting an agent location.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

How can I pay online the amount from my chase bank account to australia with bsb and account number?

Bank of America
Capital One P2P Payments
Chase QuickPay
