Large transactions in the US are done via wire transfers ($10-$20 charge against the account, offset via interest on balances of the cash management accounts) or via ACH transactions which cost about $0.25 also offset via interest on the balances of cash management accounts.
No one is running transactions that exceed several thousand dollars via credit card settlement networks.
- bduerst 8y agoYou're being downvoted, but its true - many CC and Debit card services have built in stop gaps that restrict the maximum transaction amounts, usually around $2,000. (You can temporarily remove these with a quick phone call)
- nradov 8y agoWhat cards are those? I've made purchases significantly larger than $2K on several different Visa and American Express cards with no phone call necessary.
