Regions Bank transfer limits overview

Regions Bank doesn’t place limits on internal transfers as long as your accounts have adequate funds available.¹

External transfers are subject to transaction and dollar amount caps.¹ The limits are variable based on factors such as:

  • your account type
  • your account balance
  • your transaction history

To determine your limit, log in to your account and initiate a transfer. Your per-transaction limit will be visible. If you have questions about your limit and the factors that impact it, you can contact Regions Bank’s customer support.

Keep in mind that the recipient’s account may also be subject to transaction limits. If you’re sending a large payment, find out what the cap is for inbound transactions on the other account. Otherwise, your payment may be returned or reduced to the maximum cap.

Need to send a large amount? With Wise, you can send up to 1,000,000 USD per wire transfer to 140+ countries — and we automatically apply a discount when you send over 25,000 USD (or equivalent)*.

What happens if you transfer more than $10,000?

If you transfer more than 10,000 USD in a single transaction or several payments that are close together, the action may trigger IRS reporting requirements. The good news is that your financial institution should take care of filling out the form and submitting it to the IRS, so no action will be required on your part.

If you want to avoid this added hassle, you’ll need to keep your transfers below the threshold. However, the reporting requirements are nothing to be concerned about — they’re simply a regulatory measure to combat illicit activities. Just keep a record of your transactions in case you need to provide them to your accountant at tax time.

What is the Zelle® transfer limit at Regions Bank?

When it comes to the Zelle® transfer limit, Regions Bank is a bit vague. It doesn’t have preset transfer limits for every member. Instead, your limits will vary based on your account history, account balance, and other factors.²

To check your current Zelle® limit, log in to your account using the Regions Mobile Banking app or Regions Online Banking page. There are both daily and rolling 30-day limits.² These limits are periodically adjusted based on your account history and funding amount.

Zelle® limits are typically lower than ACH transfer caps. However, your individual limits may differ.

Regions Bank international transfer limits

The Regions Bank wire transfer limits are 100,000 USD per transaction and up to 500,000 USD in total transactions per month.³ Regions Bank also limits you to 10 wire transactions per month per account.

An international wire transfer is the only way to send money abroad with Regions Bank. You can initiate a transfer using your Online Banking Business Services account.

🚨 Note that the online service isn’t available to consumer account holders. If you need to set up a wire and only have a consumer account, you’ll need to visit your local branch.

How can you check your Regions Bank transfer limits?

To check your Regions Bank transfer limits, log in to your account and initiate the desired type of transaction.

For instance, if you want to use Zelle®, select that option. Your transaction transfer limit and rolling 30-day limit will then be visible.

You can check your transfer limit using the Regions Bank mobile app or a web browser. The cap is subject to change, so make sure to check back periodically.

Can you increase your transfer limits at Regions Bank?

Yes, you can increase your transfer limits at Regions Bank. The institution will periodically reevaluate your Zelle® and ACH transfer caps based on your account history and other factors. You can contact customer service for specific inquiries regarding your account history and transfer limits.

If you want to raise your limits, consider maintaining a higher revolving balance. This is one of the factors most institutions consider when setting their transfer caps. It may take several months to build a sufficient account history and elevate your transfer limits.

You can’t request an increase for your international wire transfer limits, which means you’ll be subject to the 100,000 USD per transaction and 500,000 USD per month caps.

What are Regions Bank’s transfer fees and charges?

Regions Bank doesn’t charge transfer fees for ACH or Zelle® payments. However, there are fees for wire transfers³:

Transfer typeFee
Domestic wire transfers23 USD
International wire transfers40 USD

Wire transfer fees may vary depending on the service used and account type.

Additionally, you may be subject to fees charged by the receiving institution. If you’re sending money abroad, the transaction may also be influenced by an marked-up exchange rate and other fees.

When arranging an international payment with Regions Bank, it’s important to account for these variables. Hidden fees are a common challenge when sending money internationally, so you should always verify that all charges have been disclosed before finalizing your wire transfer request.
