IBM MQ does messages of up to 100MB. Each queue can hold up to 2 TeraByte of messages, and a queue manager server can hold tens of thousands of queues. You do of course need the disk space to hold all this :-)
So MQ is often used to send file-like data between institutions. Especially since it has built-in features like Confirm-On-Arrival and Confirm-On-Delivery. Note that MQ may not be as fast as FTP in this... but it is transactional, once-only, guaranteed delivery. When the message data is about large amounts of money, the overhead is generally worth it.
