How Wire Transfer work
Money transfers are made by individuals or legal entities with the help of an intermediary. Wire Transfer - bank money transfers. The intermediary functions can be performed by a bank, postal organization or payment system. Financial transactions carried out using the Wire Transfer system can be international and domestic and are carried out subject to the payment of the commission by the sender.
Sometimes an intermediary sets a condition for opening a current account. But when conducting financial transactions by individuals, most agents do not require this. A client wishing to transfer money within the country must fill out a special form, indicating the statement about himself and the recipient, the amount of the transfer and its purpose. He also needs to pay at the box office for the intermediary's services and enter the amount to be transferred into it. The withdrawal of money can be carried out at a banking institution or post office. In this case, the recipient must have with him a document confirming his identity. In the case of an international transfer, the sender must additionally indicate the details, the presence of which will be the basis for the operation. Sometimes there are cases when the intermediary bank also requires a SWIFT code.
Cash can also be obtained using an ATM. But this is possible if the recipient has a bank card from an intermediary bank. Sometimes you can use Internet banking to receive funds. When paying out in cash, the client can choose any currency that is convenient for him.
The amount of the commission depends on the intermediary bank and cannot be less than the minimum set by it. In this regard, it is not profitable to transfer small amounts using the Wire system. In addition, in the case of an international financial transaction, the bank sets the minimum amount that can be transferred.
Money transfer is carried out within 1-3 days. The operation may take longer due to objective circumstances. For example, time differences, the opening hours of the institution and the verification of the client by the bank security system.
Money transfers are not as fast as electronic payment systems and require personal identification data. But they are trusted by many legal entities and individuals and have many positive reviews. Customers value money transfer systems for their reliability and convenience. In addition, the Wire Transfer system has been operating for a long time, during which cases of loss of money were much less frequent than with transfers made using other systems.
Transferring money through this system can be difficult.
For the successful implementation of large-value money transfers, you should be guided by the following principles:
1. Make money transfers familiar to your account history.
2. Do not make money transfers more than $ 5k per transaction.
3. Wait some time after the first transfer for the next transfers (1-3 days)
4. Break down transfers into small amounts
5. Send money to reliable details of different people (different accounts)
6. Send transfers within the bank itself
7. Send transfers through payment systems, with the help of which the bank itself offers to send money.
If you want to send $ 35k at once, then this is also possible, but your money transfer can receive the "Pending" status, that is, get an additional check from the bank.
In this case, you need to provide the financial monitoring service with documents confirming the legality of receiving funds. Since you have received a loan, it may be an executed, confirmed application from the financial institution that provided you with a loan, certified in an appropriate manner.
When sending large sums of money, be sure to indicate a legal and logical note (explanation) to the payment so that the bank does not have additional questions.
For example, a note: "Payment for goods under a sales contract No. dated "date" or "Personal money transfer to an individual" and similar solutions.
