Wire Approval
The Wire Approval Service is a security feature that allows you to approve a wire transfer before it is sent to The Exchange Bank. Some transfers require one or two approvers before they are released to The Exchange Bank. Other transfers do not require any approval at all. Whether or not an approval is required is determined by the template used to initiate the transfer.

NOTE: You may not approve a transfer if you (your user code) initiated the transfer via the Wire Input service.


Approving
a wire transfer consists of reviewing the transfer on the Pending Transfers list, then selecting the Approve button. After selecting the transfer to approve, an approval screen appears. On the approval screen, you have the option to approve or skip/unlock.

Once the transfer has been approved, you receive a confirmation message acknowledging the approval and the release of the transfer to The Exchange Bank. Also provided is a reference number that you can use in tracking.

Deleting a wire transfer (created by another user) consists of reviewing the transfer on the Pending Transfers list, then selecting the Delete button.

Confirmation Page
The Confirmation Page displays all the details about the wire transfer. You can print this page and use it for future reference. The information displayed includes:

  • Your Name
  • Your Company's Name
  • Your Address
  • The Debit Bank (The Exchange Bank) from which you are moving money
  • The Debit Account Number and Name from which you are moving money
  • The amount of money to be moved from the debit account
  • The Template ID used to identify the template used to create this transfer
  • Originator to Beneficiary Information
  • Bank to Bank Information
  • The Customer/User who entered the transfer into the system

  • A system response, showing the date your transfer was accepted in the system if no further approval is required
  • The Processing Date indicating the date the transfer will be processed at The Exchange Bank
  • The Credit Bank to which you are sending money
  • The Credit Account Number, Name, and Address to which you are sending money
  • The amount of money to be moved to the credit account
  • The Settlement Date is the date on which the transfer will be posted
  • The Entry Date/Time that the transfer was entered into the system
  • The Approval Date/Time that the first approval was assigned (if you are providing the second approval)
  • A system-wide reference number consisting of Julian Date and unique sequence number
  • A sequential company-wide reference number
  • Legal information
  • A blue underlined e-mail link to Customer Service, in case you have questions

Once you have received this confirmation message, you can be assured that your designated bank (RDFI) has or will receive your transfer to process. At this point, you may select the Continue button to acknowledge the confirmation.

Wire Input
The Wire Input Service enables you to initiate wire transfers between accounts at The Exchange Bank and accounts at another bank. Repetitive and Non-repetitive wire transfers may be initiated via the Wire Input Service. The Exchange Bank has established templates to make input easier. These templates include information such as the sender's account number, the currency, and in the case of repetitive transfers, the receiver's name, account number, and currency. Creating a wire transfer consists of selecting the template from the Template list, then completing the entry screens associated with the chosen template.
