What are wires?

Wires are a secure, fast, and reliable way to transfer funds electronically between banks or financial institutions, both domestically and internationally. They are commonly used for high-value or time-sensitive transactions, such as business-to-business payments, supplier settlements, or large personal transfers.

Wire Transactions offer speed, security, and global reach, making them a trusted choice for critical financial transactions.
