FAQs What are the advantages of doing a domestic wire transfer vs. a printed check? Reliability & Speed: A domestic wire can be received the same day. For an international wire, usually the time is 2-4 days. The speed of the transfer is dependent on several factors: The currency exchange may sometimes slow down the transaction. Banking regulations like cut-off times could slow the transfer. The number of banks involved in the transfer can alter the time. The speed also depends on the banking system of the recipient country. Cost: The cost to issue a check can only be estimated. This would include the printing of the checks, postage, envelopes, mailing, the basic labor costs of processing etc. The cost for MDRT to send a wire is $9/$10 depending on the type of wire. The cost is not dependent upon the amount of the wire
FAQs When do I have to send a wire? When we are paying non US vendors such as MCI, hotel bills in foreign countries, interpretation or translation fees to vendors in foreign countries, consulting fees to foreign vendors. Reimbursing non US committee members for out of pocket expenses. Multiple currencies will be converted by Accounting. For an estimate of the expense, go to www.oanda.com which is an on-line currency converter and also shows historical exchange rates. Paying any vendor where a check in US funds cannot be deposited by them and mailing the physical check prohibits efficiency.
FAQs How can I send USD funds to a foreign country? When a payment is made in a currency that is different from the local currency the funds must go thru an intermediary bank. Intermediary banks are the mediator that stands between the sending bank and the receiving bank. To name a few correspondent banks, there is JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, Citibank, and Bank of America. When a transfer goes thru an intermediary bank there is an additional fee the bank takes which would reduce the amount the beneficiary receives.
FAQs Who pays the bank fees for a wire transfer? When we initiate a wire with our bank we need to indicate who should pick up the bank fees associated with that wire. The remitter can pay the fees or the fees can be shared between the remitter and beneficiary. It is MDRT s policy as the remitter to pay the fees. Be mindful though that when the wire has to go thru an intermediary or correspondent bank we cannot absorb those fees and that cost will reduce the amount of the funds received by the beneficiary.
FAQs What is the format of a Swift BIC number? (Society of Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) The BIC format contains a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 11 alphanumeric characters. Example: CHASUS33XXX The first four characters (CHAS) identify the bank. The 5th and 6th characters (US) identify the country in which the bank is located. The 7th and 8th characters (33) identify the city in which the bank is headquartered. The final 3 optional characters identify a specific branch to where the payment is to be routed.
FAQs What is the format of an IBAN number? The number comprises a maximum 34 alphanumerical characters, which are structured as follows: Two letters representing the home country of the account-holding bank (e.g. IE for Ireland). Two numbers that are a control key. Maximum of 30 alphanumeric characters that identify the bank and the ordinary account number.
