Days are business days — a Saturday delays a same-day or next-day payout. These are ceilings, not typical times: within the window, how fast the money lands depends on the receiving bank.

We also pay out to Israel in USD over SWIFT (1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business).

Sending USD to Israel — FAQ

Speed

How long does it take to send USD to Israel?

Payments between Maash accounts land in seconds, and bank payouts arrive within one business day over Zahav. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. Maash tells you when that happens.

Rate

How has the USD to ILS rate moved over this period?

Between 31 Jul 2026 – 20 Aug 2026 the mid-market rate fell 2.60%, with a low of 2.9542 and a high of 3.0620 ILS per US dollar. The rate is captured daily and shown at the mid-market rate with no markup.

Cost

How much does it cost to send money to Israel?

A payout to Israel in Israeli new shekels (ILS) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee on a personal account, or 0.75% plus $1.00 on a business account. Currency conversion uses the mid-market rate with no markup, and every fee is shown before you confirm.

Sending USD

Can I send US dollars to a bank account in Israel?

Yes, over SWIFT. The fee is 1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business — a payout in Israeli new shekels (ILS) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee instead, so a recipient with an account in Israeli new shekels usually pays less. Your recipient’s account must accept US dollars.

Safety

Is my money safe while the transfer is processing?

Yes. Your funds sit in your own account and only move when you confirm a transfer with your passkey. Maash can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. A review delays a transfer — it never takes your money.

Banks

Which banks in Israel can I send money to?

Maash pays out to 16 banks in Israel. Your recipient needs an account in their own name; enter their bank details when you add them. The list is the one Maash’s payout provider states and can change.

Account

Can I open a Maash account in Israel?

Yes. Israel is one of the countries Maash can open an account from, so you can both hold US dollars and send to Israel. Identity verification applies, and some countries need additional checks; Maash lists every country it can open an account from on its supported-countries page.
