How to send money from the United States to Mexico: a basic guide

What information you need, how to read a USD/MXN exchange-rate quote, and what to check before sending money to Mexico.

1. Have your recipient’s information ready

For deposits into Mexican bank accounts, you will typically need the recipient’s name, bank, and account information, including a CLABE when applicable. Check the information before confirming.

2. Compare the total cost, not just the fee

The cost of a transfer depends on the transfer fee, the exchange rate used, and any other applicable charges. Two providers with different fees can deliver different amounts in pesos.

3. Review the full quote

Check the total amount you would pay in USD, the exchange rate, the estimated amount the recipient would receive, and the delivery timeframe disclosed for the transaction.

4. Review the terms before paying

Confirm the service is available for your location and payment method. Keep your reference number and any receipts provided.

5. A simulation is not a final quote

An informational calculator may show estimated amounts. The price and terms for a specific transfer should be checked before authorizing payment.
