*Transaction speed claimed depends on funds availability, approval by Wise’s proprietary verification system and systems availability of our partners’ banking system, and may not be available for all transactions.

Can Remitly limits be increased?

You can currently send up to 100,000 USD from the US with Remitly³. There is no option to increase your sending limit.

If you need to send a larger transfer, you can split your transfer up into smaller batches. It may be beneficial to also reach out to customer support in the Remitly app or by logging into your account online.

How do the limits imposed by Remitly affect the speed of transactions?

The speed of your transaction shouldn't be impacted by your status as long as you’re making a payment within the transfer limit.

If you try to make a payment which exceeds your limits it may be delayed, returned, or not processed at all. Depending on the transfer, you may also need to provide more information or documents for verification before you can proceed.

Does the frequency of transactions impact the limits on Remitly?

The frequency of transactions should not impact your transfer limits. Remitly’s limits apply per-transfer by sending country³.

Remitly’s limits are in place to protect customers and make sure that the accounts are used as intended. However, if you’re sending higher volume payments — or if you just want a different option to compare — check out Wise.
