Principal Protection (PPRO)

Principal Protection is a service that protects cross-border USD wire payments from variable intermediary and correspondent fees as the payment passes through the payment chain for a fixed fee. This service ensures the full value of the payment reaches the beneficiary with no fee deductions, and the remitter covers these fees.

Response types

Same Currency Wire payments support the following response types:

  • Received
  • Accepted
  • Processing
  • Canceled
  • Rejected
  • Completed
  • Returned

For a full list of status response and error codes, see status responses and error codes.

Duplicate logic

A Wire payment is irrevocable. If the same payment is sent twice, the status of the original payment is returned with the original paymentIdTo confirm the status of any transaction, get the status of a wire payment.

Duplicate transactions

The Global Payments API supports the ability for idempotent calls, which is useful when you initiate a payment, create a client, make a change, or retry a failed request for some reason, such as a network issue.

If a Wire payment has the same endToEndId as another Wire payment within a specified timeframe, the Global Payments API deems it duplicative.

The following table contains each country's specified timeframe:

Duplicate transaction timeframes for Wire
Country Timeframe
South Africa
60 days
United States 60 days
All others 6 months to 1 year depending on client configuration setup

Tax payments (SWIFT)

There are special requirements for FED payments that you send to the Treasury Department for the sole
purpose of settling a tax payment:

  • Cut-off times for tax payments is 15:00 Eastern Time. (Payments received after the cut-off are
