Can I send $100,000 abroad through ACH in one day?
Not necessarily. Funding limits depend on account type, bank and provider rules. Wise's documented personal ACH limits may be lower than $100,000 per day.
LARGE US TRANSFERS
Sending $10,000–$100,000 abroad from the US
At $10,000, $50,000 or $100,000, the question is not just whether a provider offers a good exchange rate. Confirm the funding limits, recipient's bank route, and whether verification or a source-of-funds request will delay delivery.

What to verify
Check the exact USD funding option first. Personal and Business accounts may have different ACH limits; a $100,000 transfer being supported by one method does not mean the same amount can be funded through every method.
Questions to check by amount
| Amount sent | What to verify |
|---|---|
| $10,000 | Can my bank fund the payment with ACH or must I wire it? |
| $25,000 | What are the applicable account, state and rolling-period limits? |
| $50,000 | Can I document the transaction's purpose and source? |
| $100,000 | Are correspondent fees or FX spread included in the recipient amount? |
When it can help
A hypothetical 0.1 percentage-point difference on $100,000 equals $100. It is not a comparison of live provider quotes.
Wise lists different ACH, wire and Swift limits, and account- or state-dependent exceptions. For example, certain personal ACH funding limits are lower than $100,000 within a 24-hour period.
Wise's published large-transfer threshold for the United States is $25,000 in qualifying monthly converted volume. Fee discounts apply on qualifying higher-tier amounts, not to the entire monthly total.
A large cross-border payment may need identification, proof of funds, full recipient address and the correct routing or SWIFT details. Allow time for checks.

- Can my bank fund the payment with ACH or must I wire it?
- What are the applicable account, state and rolling-period limits?

Frequently asked questions
When does the Wise US volume discount begin?
The published US threshold starts at $25,000 of qualifying monthly volume, with discounts applying to eligible amounts above that threshold.
Does an estimated arrival date guarantee settlement?
No. Verification, bank cutoff times, recipient details and supported payment networks affect delivery.
Should I split payments to avoid checks?
No. Ask your bank and provider how to make legitimate large payments with required documentation.
