⚠️ Security & Compliance Reviews
Banks may temporarily delay wire transfers for:
identity verification
fraud prevention
transaction reviews
compliance checks
In some situations, your bank may contact you directly to confirm the transfer before releasing the funds. Even after funds are received by the bank, they may be subject to compliance reviews or holds before being credited to your account. Delays may also occur if manual review is required for compliance or verification purposes.
📬 What To Do If Your Wire Is Delayed
If your wire transfer has not arrived:
Wait up to three business days for the transfer to process.
Confirm the wire was successfully sent with your bank.
Verify all banking details were entered correctly.
Check that your reference code was included.
If funds have not arrived by the end of the third business day, contact your bank to initiate a wire trace.
Monitor your account regularly and be ready to provide the receipt and reference details to expedite processing once the funds arrive.
