Wire Transfer

A wire transfer moves money directly from one bank account to another, often to a different bank or across the country. You might use a wire transfer to send money to someone quickly, pay a large bill, or move funds between your own accounts. Unlike checks or ACH transfers that take several days, wire transfers typically complete within hours.

The articles here explain how wire transfers work, what information you need to send one, what fees to expect, and how to spot potential scams. You'll learn the difference between domestic and international wire transfers, how to track your transfer, and what to do if something goes wrong.
