International money transfers are protected by the Remittance Transfer Rule (Regulation E), enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): up-front disclosures, a window to cancel, and help if something goes wrong. Your rights and the steps to escalate a complaint to the CFPB or your state regulator are on one page.

Protect yourself from fraud

A money transfer is like cash - once funds are picked up, they usually cannot be recovered. Never send money to someone you haven’t met in person, or to claim a prize, loan, job, or unexpected refund. If you believe you are the target of a scam, stop and call us immediately at 800-939-7185.
