Can I transfer large amounts with Revolut in Ireland?

revolut-large-transfers

With Revolut you can generally transfer large amounts with no issue, because most currencies and destination countries have no transfer limits.¹

You can only transfer money via Revolut app, and just keep in mind that large amount transfers might take a little longer than a normal transfer as sometimes there are extra checks for them to do.

In some instances though, a Revolut payment partner might have transfer limits that apply to certain currencies and destinations. If these limits are going to impact your transfer you’ll be notified in the Revolut app before you hit send.

Revolut high amounts limits: What is the maximum you can transfer?

As we’ve said, Revolut doesn’t have any transfer limits for most currencies and destinations, but those that do apply per transfer and can’t be increased. Since the limits are per transfer though, it’s possible to make multiple transfers in a day to reach the total amount you need to send.

Here’s some of the limits to be aware of²:

Transaction TypeRevolut Limit
SEPA instant credit transfers100,000 EUR
COP to Colombia5,596,000 COP
KRW to South Korea5,000,000 KRW
BRL to Brazil29,999 BRL
NPR to Nepal1,000,000 NPR
CLP to Chile7,000,000 CLP
LKR to Sri Lanka4,999,999 LKR
VND to Vietnam499,999,999 VND
INR to India5,000 GBP
PHP to Philippines7,500 GBP
MYR to Malaysia15,000 GBP
IDR to Indonesia15,000 GBP

Honing in on that first one, the SEPA instant credit transfer limit, it’s a little different to the rest. If you exceed the limit the transfer will actually still go through, but it will be processed as a normal transfer instead of instant so the money can take up to 2 days to arrive.

  • SEPA transfers are usually instant but can take up to 2 business days
  • SWIFT transfers take up to 5 business days

Wise: Transfer large amounts with the mid-market rate

If sending money on Revolut isn’t quite the right fit for your needs, Wise could be the solution you’re looking for. Wise offers high transfer limits, also allowing you to send large amount transfers:

  • To Euro: Send up to 6 million EUR per transfer.
  • From Euro: Transfer up to 1.2 million EUR per transaction when paying via bank transfer.

When sending money, especially internationally, fees can often be a deciding factor. With Wise, you won’t encounter any hidden charges, instead the pricing is clear and upfront, whether you check through the Wise app or website.

Also, for certain currencies where local account details are available, such as EUR, GBP and USD, you can avoid using the SWIFT system which can be more costly than local transfers.

Another key advantage of Wise is the use of the mid-market exchange rate. You'll be able to see an updated rate at every minute, without any hidden margins or markups to worry about.

To help take the stress out of big transfers Wise also offers dedicated support for large transactions, letting you track your money every step of the way.

Sending money with Wise is simple and to get started all you need to do is register for a personal account, which is free. When it’s time to send the money you’ll be guided through the process step-by-step.
