Is there a limit on how much I can transfer from one bank to another?
Some banks allow money transfers up to $10,000 per month, and a few even as high as $25,000 a month. However, other banks have much stricter ACH transaction amount limits, which can be as low as $2,000 a month, so it's important to determine for what purpose you'll be using ACH transfers.
Another method of transferring large amounts between banks is using a bank-to-bank transfer. For bank-to-bank transfers, all you need is the receiver's bank account information, including the routing number if applicable. This type of transfer is quick but generally has a fee, depending on the institution.
If a person receives multiple payments toward a single transaction or two or more related transactions, the person should file Form 8300 when the total amount paid exceeds $10,000. Each time payments aggregate more than $10,000, the person must file another Form 8300.
Call your bank to increase the limit
Some banks let you increase your limits for a short amount of time, like 24 hours. Give your bank a call to see if they'll let you do this. This is a good option if it's hard for you to get to your bank in person, and you need to send money fast. But not all banks do it.

How Much Money Can You Deposit Before It Is Reported? Banks and financial institutions must report any cash deposit exceeding $10,000 to the IRS, and they must do it within 15 days of receipt. Of course, it's not as cut and dried as simply having to report one large lump sum of money.
