Wire Transfers

Content on wire/bank transfers for high-risk merchants. Coverage includes SEPA (SCT & SCT Inst) in the EU/EEA, SWIFT cross-border wires, and domestic rails (e.g., Faster Payments UK, ACH/RTP US). We explain account naming/IBAN & BIC, cut-off times and T+ settlement, fee models (OUR/SHA/BEN), recalls/trace (e.g., MT103), compliance controls (KYC/KYB, AML/KYT, sanctions & geofencing), proof-of-funds/wealth for onboarding, and how to structure collections vs payouts (operational vs safeguarding/client-money accounts).
For high-risk verticals (iGaming/betting, FX/CFD, adult, nutraceuticals, crypto/VASP), we cover: payer verification, risk limits/velocity, refund flows vs chargebacks (none), reconciliation/webhooks & statement files, and multi-currency setups with MCP/FX considerations.
