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 of £1 million per transaction, though individual banks set lower caps

Chase’s £25,000 per-transaction limit is well above what most people need for everyday transfers, but is lower than what Starling, Barclays, and HSBC allow. If you regularly move large sums between accounts, this is worth factoring in when choosing your primary bank.

Daily Sending Limits

In addition to the per-transaction cap, Chase applies a daily sending limit — the total you can send in a 24-hour period across all transactions.

The exact figure is not publicly published and varies by account. To see your current daily limit:

  1. Open the Chase app
  2. Tap Pay or Send money
  3. Your available daily limit is displayed before you complete the payment

New accounts typically start with a lower daily limit. Regular incoming salary payments and consistent transaction activity can help your limit increase over time. If you need a higher limit for a specific reason, contact Chase via in-app chat.

Sending Large Amounts

If you need to move more than your daily limit — for a property purchase deposit, a large savings move, or a significant one-off payment — Chase’s limits may present a constraint.

Situation Solution
Amount above £25,000 but within daily limit Split into multiple transactions (each under £25,000)
Amount above daily limit Split across multiple days
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, Barclays, HSBC, or Nationwide are 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:

Service Best for
Wise Transparent mid-market rates; best for one-off transfers
Revolut Convenient if you already hold multiple currencies in the app
High-street bank International wire available, but typically higher fees

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. The transfer limit applies to each individual standing order payment.

How Chase UK Compares on Transfer Limits

Bank Faster Payments max (single) CHAPS available
Chase UK £25,000 No
Monzo £10,000 No
Starling £250,000 No
Barclays Up to £250,000 Yes
HSBC Up to £100,000 Yes
Nationwide £100,000 Yes

Chase’s £25,000 limit is well above Monzo’s default but lower than Starling and the main high-street banks. For most everyday use it is more than sufficient — it only becomes a constraint for property-related or large business payments.

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.
