If you have an account with TD Bank and need to send or receive a wire transfer, you may be wondering how to get started - and how much you need to pay. 

This guide walks through all you need to know. We’ll also take a look at Wise as a cheaper, more convenient way to send international payments online.

TD Bank wire transfer fee

The fees you pay for a wire transfer with TD Bank will depend on the account you hold, and the type of transaction you want to make. Here are the standard TD Bank wire transfer fees:

Wire type	TD Bank fee
Incoming wire - either international or domestic	USD15
Outgoing domestic wire	USD30
Outgoing international wire	USD50 + potential SWIFT charges + TD Bank currency exchange rate fee if sent in a foreign currency

Incoming wire charges are waived for the following account types:

• TD Beyond Checking
• TD Beyond Savings
• TD Private Tiered Checking
• TD Private Tiered Savings
• Individual Development Products
• Family Development Products

If you have a TD Beyond Checking or TD Private Tiered Checking account you may also benefit from a fixed number of free outgoing wire transfers per billing cycle. 

However, even with this perk you might find you pay SWIFT fees, or a TD Bank currency exchange rate fee if you’re sending a payment overseas. Check your account terms for more details - and read on for more about SWIFT fees and exchange rate markups.

Wise: A quick and transparent alternative

TD Bank currency exchange fee

You’ll notice above that there are a couple of potential additional fees when sending money with TD Bank. One to look out for is the currency exchange fee TD Bank adds, and which banks often tag onto the exchange rate used for international wire payments.

You’ll be able to find the exchange rate TD Bank will use for your transfer when you visit your local branch. Make sure you compare the rate you’re given with the mid-market exchange rate for your currency, which you can find on Google. If the rates are different, it’s probably because the bank has added a markup or margin to the rate they offer customers. This is an extra fee, and pushes up the prices overall.

TD Bank and SWIFT fees

It also pays to know a bit about SWIFT fees before you make an international payment with your normal bank. 

Traditional banks typically process international wires using the SWIFT network. This involves a series of partner banks passing a payment along a chain until it reaches the right account. It’s a reliable - but often slow - system, and there may be hidden costs as each bank in the chain can deduct a fee when handling the payment. Choose a modern alternative like Wise to skip this issue altogether.

How to make an international transfer with TD Bank?

To arrange an international wire payment with TD Bank you’ll need to call into your local bank branch and set up the wire in person.

TD Bank routing number

If someone is sending you a payment to your TD Bank account you’ll need to give them the routing number so the money arrives safely and without unnecessary delays.

TD Bank uses different routing numbers for different branches, so the number you need may depend on which branch holds your account. 

You can find out the number you need from your online banking, by visiting the TD Bank website, or by using this smart US routing number search tool.

Wire transfer with TD Bank: How long does it take?

The length of time it takes to complete your wire transfer will depend on where you’re sending money to. Domestic wires are typically faster than international payments, arriving in around 24 hours. However, international payments can take 2 - 5 business days to arrive depending on where they’re headed.

• The bank name - TD Bank, Wilmington, Delaware

Don’t forget you may also need to pay a fee for receiving the payment, depending on the account type you hold.
