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 India in USD over SWIFT (1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business).

You can also open a Poplin account from India — see every country you can open one from.

Sending USD to India — FAQ

Speed

How long does it take to send USD to India?

Payments between Poplin accounts land in seconds, and bank payouts arrive in real time over IMPS. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. Poplin tells you when that happens.

Rate

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

Between 12 Aug 2026 – 10 Sept 2026 the mid-market rate rose 0.08%, with a low of 94.4051 and a high of 95.7879 INR 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 India?

A payout to India in Indian rupees (INR) 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 India?

Yes, over SWIFT. The fee is 1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business — a payout in Indian rupees (INR) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee instead, so a recipient with an account in Indian rupees 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. Poplin 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.

Account

Can I open a Poplin account in India?

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