Outgoing Wire Approvals

Prev Next

The Outgoing Wire Approvals screen is where initiated outgoing domestic and international wires are reviewed and sent.

The Outgoing Wire Approvals screen may only be viewed by Users with appropriate permissions.

All outgoing wires must be completed with dual approval. One User will enter the wire, and a second User will approve the wire.

To view pending outgoing wire activity, Users will provide searching and filtering information. Users may search and filter across the following column categories:

  • Wire ID
  • Member - Your credit union
  • Originator - Entity that originated the wire
  • Beneficiary - Final entity that will receive the wire funds
  • Beneficiary / Receiver Financial Institution - Final financial institution that will receive the wire funds on behalf of the beneficiary
  • Amount - Outgoing wire amount
  • Type - Wire Business Function Code and Type Code; INT designates international wire 
  • Effective Date - Effective date of the wire
  • OFAC Status - Failed or Passed OFAC screening
  • Status - Current status of the wire

Sorting and filtering is available on all columns. Click the arrow next to the column header to sort the column. The orange arrow indicates which column is currently sorting the information. Search within a column by typing information into the Search box located just under the column header, or by utilizing the column dropdown, if available. To clear filters, click the x located in the search box, or click the Clear filters option at the top right side of the card.

Wire Status options are as follows:

Once the desired search information has been entered, a list of outgoing wires is displayed. The User may export the wire information to a PDF document by clicking the Export to PDF button.


International Wire Review and Rejection/Cancellation
It is important to note that once foreign dollar rate quotes have been locked, they may be subject to a market rate difference being owed. Should an international wire require incorrect information to be edited, the reviewing user may do so, unless the wire is a pre-authorized template. In that case, only limited fields are available for editing.

If a User should choose to Reject or Cancel an international wire in pending status, the User will see a pop-up that indicates the debit amount that will be posted to the credit union settlement account. The user will have to confirm the Reject or Cancel action, indicating that the notification has been read and understood.
