How to send dollars to Mexico in 3 steps
Short answer
To send dollars to Mexico, choose Mexico, enter the recipient’s full legal name and 18-digit CLABE, review the peso amount and live rate, then confirm. The payout travels through SPEI to the recipient’s bank account and typically arrives within minutes, although bank checks can sometimes take longer.
Use the recipient’s full legal name and 18-digit CLABE for a SPEI payout.
What you need
Your payout reaches a Mexican bank account through SPEI, Mexico’s real-time payment rail. Ask for the recipient’s full legal name and complete 18-digit CLABE. The CLABE identifies the bank and account, so you do not need a separate bank name. Most payouts arrive within minutes, though a recipient-bank or compliance check can take longer.
- Full legal name
- 18-digit CLABE
1. Add the recipient
Enter the name and CLABE exactly as the recipient provided them. A CLABE is not a card number or phone number, and there is no separate bank-name field for this route.
2. Enter dollars and check MXN
Enter the dollars you want to send. Read the MXN amount, rate, transaction cost, and delivery estimate together before continuing.
3. Confirm and track
Check the recipient and CLABE one final time, then confirm. Keep the transfer reference until the recipient confirms that the pesos arrived.
