The sending limit is the maximum amount you can send, either per transaction, per day, month or semester.

Remitly allows you to send remittances with different limits for each country and for each user. As a general measure, if you want to send money from the United States to Mexico, when you open your account, it will allow you to send up to $2,999 USD per day, $10,000 USD per month and $18,000 USD every six months. But there are specific factors that can change these amounts: how often you send money, if it is received by bank transfer or in cash and in which store, or what level of user you are.

In this article, you can understand the amount of money Remitly allows you to send to Mexico and other countries and how to increase it. We'll also give you tips for getting the maximum value when sending remittances.

Limits for frequent or regular submissions by Remitly

If you send remittances frequently, it's important to know the maximum amount you can transfer in a month or six months. Imagine that you are a level 1 user and you are going to send money every month for six months, during which you can send a maximum of $18,000 USD. In this case, your actual monthly limit would be $3,000 USD. And if you sent every day for six months, the maximum would be $100 USD per day. Pero You can increase your limit and in this article we will tell you how to do it.

Below we detail the maximum amount you can send through bank transfers if your shipping frequency is regular.

New Customer Level 1Customers Level 2Customers Level 3
If you send moneyeveryday for 6 months $100 USD per day$200 USD per day$333.33 USD per day
If you send money every month for 6 months or more$3,000 USD per month$6,000 USD per month

$10,000 USD per month

If you send money once every 6 months$18,000 USD semiannual$36,000 USD semiannual

$60,000 USD semiannual

These limits apply no matter who you're sending money to. In other words, if you send it to your parents in January and to your children in February, your maximum monthly amount will not change because it depends on who sends it and not on who receives it.

I want to send more money: level up on Remitly

When you open your account, you will be assigned level 1 limits. Remitly offers you to increase your sending limits if you provide more information about yourself and your use of the platform.

You can request a level change 24 hours after you open your account. Go to the website Remitly.com or to the App and log in. Select My Remitly and then Increase the limits. Choose the level that offers the shipping limit you need (2 or 3). Fill in the requested fields and upload the requested documents:

  • Move up from level 1 to 2: In addition to your first and last name (s), address and date of birth, you'll need to provide your full social security number (SSN), upload a government-issued photo ID, and answer Remitly's questions about your use of the platform, including your source of income.
  • Move up from level 2 to 3: Remitly will ask you some questions about how and what you use their platform for. You'll receive a response in your inbox within 48 hours.

Cash shipments

The above-mentioned limits may be modified if your recipient will receive the money in cash, as they depend on the merchant where they receive it, and not on Remitly.

These limits are independent of what level of customer you are. If you are customer 3 and you make a shipment in cash, it cannot reach $10,000 USD, except at the limit imposed by the receiving merchant.

Take into account the exchange rate

In addition to knowing the maximum amount you can send, it is very important to check the exchange rate that you'll get for it. For this reason, we recommend that you compare different platforms. A tip: Meet Félix Pago, who offers you a very low rate and commission, so that your family can receive more for less.

Tips for maximizing your money transfers to Mexico

  • Plan your shipments. Calculate how many times a month or semester you'll send and keep track of how much you've sent. Preferably, prepare a calendar with the dates and amounts you want to send and make sums for ranges of months and semesters, to see if you don't exceed the limit. If you can afford it, don't plan to hit the limit; set aside an amount for emergencies and unforeseen events.
  • Request a level change with Remitly to be able to send more money.
  • If you can, send to bank accounts. This will allow you to take full advantage of the general limits, which are higher than those of merchants that deliver cash.
  • If your family or friends can only receive the money in cash, check the Cash Transfer table and choose, among those that are comfortable for them, the one that allows you to send the amount you need.
  • Don't just look at the amount of money you can send, but also what shipment is the cheapest, so that your loved ones receive more pesos with the same amount of dollars. The day you are going to ship, compare the exchange rates for various remittance services, as well as the commission or fixed cost per transaction. A recommendation: Felix offers an excellent rate for sending money to Mexico, and uses a fixed commission of $2.99 USD for each transaction.
