Chase UK Transfer Limit 2026 — How Much Can You Send?

Chase UK's standard daily transfer limit is £25,000 to other UK bank accounts via Faster Payments. Find out how to request a temporary increase and how it compares to other banks.

Chase UK’s standard daily transfer limit is £25,000 to other UK bank accounts via Faster Payments — this is a total for the day, not a per-transaction cap. You can request a temporary increase up to a maximum of £1,000,000 through the app. For everything else about the Chase UK account including savings rates, cashback, and travel spending, see the Chase UK hub.

How Faster Payments Works

Chase uses the Faster Payments network for all UK bank transfers — the standard bank-to-bank system used by virtually all UK banks. Transfers:

  • Are typically received within seconds during the day
  • Are available 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays
  • Have a scheme maximum set by Pay.UK, though individual banks set their own lower caps

Chase’s £25,000 daily limit is well above what most people need for everyday transfers, but is a daily cap rather than a per-transaction limit, and is lower than some high-street banks’ standard limits. If you regularly move large sums, request a temporary increase in advance or factor this into your planning.

Requesting a Temporary Increase

If you need to send more than £25,000 in a day, Chase allows you to request a temporary limit increase:

  1. Open the Chase app and go to Pay or Send money
  2. Request a limit increase, up to a maximum of £1,000,000
  3. Requests can be made up to 2 days in advance
  4. Increases are generally processed between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday — requests submitted later in the day (around 2pm onwards) may not process until the next working day
  5. Only one limit increase request can be open at a time
  6. An approved increase expires at midnight on the day it is approved

For transfers over £1,000,000, contact Chase support directly, as this exceeds the app’s self-service increase limit.

Sending Large Amounts

If you need to move more than your current daily limit — for a property purchase deposit, a large savings move, or a significant one-off payment — plan ahead:

Situation Solution
Amount above £25,000, within £1,000,000 Request a temporary limit increase in the app, up to 2 days ahead
Amount above £1,000,000 Contact Chase support directly
Time-sensitive large payment (e.g. property completion) Use a high-street bank or solicitor’s account for CHAPS

Chase does not currently offer CHAPS transfers. CHAPS is used for guaranteed same-day high-value payments — standard for property completions, car purchases, and large business transactions. If you anticipate needing CHAPS regularly, a bank that offers it is better suited as a primary account for those payments.

International Transfers

Chase UK does not support international transfers. You cannot send money to non-UK bank accounts directly from Chase.

For international transfers, dedicated services are better suited — compare current fees, exchange rates, and transfer speed directly on each provider’s own site, as terms change frequently:

Service Notes
Wise Compare current mid-market rate and fees at wise.com
Revolut Convenient if you already hold multiple currencies in the app — compare current terms at revolut.com
High-street bank International wire available — compare current fees directly with your bank

See Wise vs Revolut for a direct comparison of the two leading options.

Standing Orders and Scheduled Payments

Chase UK supports standing orders — regular automatic payments sent from your account on a fixed schedule. These are useful for rent, regular savings transfers, or recurring bills without a direct debit.

To set up a standing order, use the payments section of the app and select the recurring payment option when initiating the transfer. Your daily transfer limit applies to the total of all outgoing payments, including standing orders, on the day they’re sent.

How Chase UK Compares on Transfer Limits

Bank Faster Payments limit CHAPS available
Chase UK £25,000/day (temporary increase to £1,000,000 available) No
Monzo Confirm current limit at monzo.com No
Starling Confirm current limit at starlingbank.com No
Barclays Confirm current limit at barclays.co.uk Yes
HSBC Confirm current limit at hsbc.co.uk Yes
Nationwide Confirm current limit at nationwide.co.uk Yes

Transfer limits change fairly often across UK banks — always confirm the current figure directly with each provider before comparing. Chase’s £25,000 daily limit is more than sufficient for most everyday use; it mainly becomes a factor for property-related or large one-off payments, where a temporary increase request or a bank offering CHAPS may be more suitable.

Receiving Money into Chase UK

There is no limit on incoming payments. You can receive any amount — salary, BACS, Faster Payments, standing orders — without restriction.
