The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued rules to protect consumers who send money electronically to foreign countries. Remittance transfers are commonly known as international wires, international money transfers, or remittances. Under federal law, remittance transfers do not include transfers of less than $15. Consumers sending a remittance transfer will receive a disclosure prior to sending any funds internationally identifying the amount of the fees, taxes, and exchange rate (if applicable). A receipt or proof of payment that also includes the funds available date will be provided to the consumer after the funds are sent. Consumers also have cancellation and error resolution rights.

Contact your local branch for more specifics to this ruling or refer to the resources section below.
