Bank of America domestic and international wire fees for Brownsville businesses

By Pablo Diaz · I left BoA after years as a customer. Read the full story →

Most TX business owners I talk to do not know the full BoA fee structure until they have already paid it. The schedule below is from BoA's own published fee disclosures, plus the public CFPB record on practices that have been the subject of enforcement.

Domestic and international wire fees

Bank of America wire transfer fees per their published schedule: roughly $30 per outgoing domestic wire and $45 per outgoing international wire. Incoming wires typically run $15. For a Brownsville business that sends a handful of vendor wires per month, this adds up to several hundred dollars annually. Mercury offers free domestic wires on most plans; RHO offers free outgoing wires on most tiers. If wire volume is meaningful for your business, the fee differential alone often justifies switching.

If you want to dispute a BoA fee in Brownsville

1. Pull the statement showing the fee. Screenshot it.
2. Compare against BoA's published fee schedule. If it does not match, document the discrepancy.
3. Request a written explanation through BoA secure message. Save the response.
4. If the explanation is unsatisfactory, file a CFPB complaint at consumerfinance.gov/complaint with the documentation. Free, public, and tends to get a documented response.
